The BBC has made all four seasons of the cult drama Heroes available for streaming on iPlayer from today.

The series, which aired between 2006 and 2010, followed a group of strangers around the world with unique powers who came together to prevent an apocalyptic disaster.

The show was originally broadcast on BBC Two and featured stars including Milo Ventimiglia, Hayden Panettiere, Masi Oka and Zachary Quinto.

BBC iPlayer controller Dan McGolpin said: "Heroes is an iconic sci-fi series and the perfect binge-watch for this summer; whether you witnessed it the first time around or it's all new to you there are 78 episodes back on BBC iPlayer and ready for you to power through. Save the cheerleader, save the world!"

Heroes Reborn, a 13-episode miniseries from 2015, is not included in the iPlayer boxset.
