And I thought Heroes couldn’t get any better. Kristen Bell is set to join the cast of Heroes this October!

Peacock has snagged Bell for a key multiepisode arc of its sophomore sensation. Casting is a major coup for NBC since Bell — who plays the title character in Judd Apatow’s upcoming “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” — was reportedly being sought for several TV gigs, including a part on ABC’s “Lost.”

Bell will make her first “Heroes” appearance in October. She’ll play Elle, a character described as a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.’s past and the future of Claire. Elle will kick off her arc by committing a serious crime, though it’s unclear whether she’s good or bad. (Source)

Thank God Kristen didn’t end up on Lost. If there’s one show that is perfectly suited for a fangirl like Kristen, it’s Heroes. And judging by the description of Kristen’s character, I have no doubt that her appearance will be TiVo-worthy. Can’t wait!
