Hayden Panettiere was "shocked" to find out about the new 'Heroes' series.
The 24-year-old actress - who played teen cheerleader Claire Bennet from 2006-2010 in the original show - has not been asked to join the recently-announced miniseries 'Heroes: Reborn' and only found out about the project from a family member.
She said: "It was a shock to me. In fact, I believe I became privy to that through my cousin. She sent me a text message and told me about it.
"I mean, we had nothing, nothing to do with it. It will definitely be interesting to see how they reinvent that."
The 'Nashville' actress - who is engaged to boxer Wladimir Klitschko - has mixed feelings about the new show, and hopes not to see anyone taking over the role of Claire.
She told Cosmopolitan.com: "It's a little bit of an interesting feeling because you go, 'That was our show, our home, our family,' something that we had a major part in creating.
"I mean, I hope that they don't have somebody else playing our characters, hat would be a little dagger in the heart. But, you never know. I wish them success in it, for sure."

Johnny Depp doesn't think the age gap between him and his fiancée Amber Heard is an issue.
The 50-year-old actor believes the 27-year-old screen beauty, who he fell for on the set of 'The Rum Diary', has a lot to teach him about life and insists she's often the one "inspiring" and educating him, despite him being 23 years her senior.
Asked whether the age difference is ever a problem, he replied: "I don't think so. I've got a lot of life experience, certainly, but I don't feel like I'm looking down on her. Or being her mentor. I actually feel like she's the one inspiring me!"
Johnny - who separated from long-term partner Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his children Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11, in the summer of 2012 - also explained why he now feels ready to walk down the aisle with Amber, claiming he never felt ready for marriage until now.
Discussing his reluctance to wed Vanessa, he told Télé 2 Semaines magazine: "Sometimes, even things that seem simple and obvious are scary. I think age, experience and wisdom give us the capacity to move beyond certain stages we didn't dare cross before."
The 'Transcendence' actor also revealed he would jump at the chance to return to his hedonistic youthful antics if he was told he only had a few weeks left to live.
He joked: "I would party every day with all the people I love. I would also take all the substances possible and imaginable ... I would even try and drink bleach!"

Lady Gaga thinks Lily Allen is "admirable" for calling her a "martyr".
The singer is extremely grateful to her fellow pop star for defending her latest album 'ARTPOP', which hasn't been selling as well as her previous records, insisting Gaga deserves credit for choosing "art" over commercial success in a recent interview.
Discussing the comment on the BBC Radio 1 'Breakfast Show' with Scott Mills this morning (15.04.14), Gaga said: "That's really very sweet. I've always been a big fan of hers. I appreciate her standing up for artists and for me in particular. That's really, really admirable of her to do that.
"I think all artists should stand up for one another because when it becomes a competition, we're not supporting production of creativity and art. She's always had that old soul heart so it doesn't surprise me. I thought that was very sweet - thank you Lily, you're lovely!"
The 28-year-old star also opened up about why she chose to feature the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' cast in her new music video 'G.U.Y', explaining that she feels the women - who include Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Yolanda Foster and Kim Richards - are part of an empowering new movement in reality TV.
Gaga mused: "Isn't it kind of interesting that we stopped writing stories? And a director just looked at the cast one day and said, 'I'm just going to film you doing nothing.'
"We've found it more entertaining to catch people with their pants down, so to speak. Which is what I found interesting with the girls is that they seem to know that they're happening and they feel empowered by it.
"[That's] what the song is about, it's about being out of control and being on the bottom but still finding a way to feel powerful."
