Fans of “Jericho” hand managed to bring the show back from the dead for a second season. But hopes of a third were squashed by CBS. This hasn’t stopped the shows creators from looking to continue the series in other forms. SciFi Wire has an interview with Carol Barbee, executive producer:
If Jericho is not picked up for another season by a TV network, Barbee said that she could envision it living on in some other form. “There’s definitely an Internet series to be had, and we always talked about a graphic novel, and … a movie,” Barbee said. “I mean, there are lots of things that I could easily see as a way to continue the story.”
The article also describes the 2 separate endings that were filmed. One cliff hanger, and the one that was aired–the series ender. It seems that they’re going to attempt to keep the show alive with a movie (didn’t work for “Serenity”) or web series. I can see it working as a web series because they don’t need mass appeal. Podcasts/WebSeries’ serve a niche, and aren’t required to have broad appeal.
Personally, I didn’t watch a single episode, but the show did interest me. I didn’t have room for it on my TV-watching schedule, but had planned to pick up DVDs one day. It looks like that time has come.
Was it time for “Jericho” to go?

Absolutely not. Jericho was the best show on TV right now, and one of the best shows I’ve seen in years. Very disappointing it won’t be on the schedule next year.
Everything about the show was good. Great character development, great stories, and quality acting, even from Skeet (which I really didn’t expect).
It’s a bad day for TV fans.
Nope, it wasnt simple as…to many shows i liked have been cancelled… another one i loved was journeyman…
[…] looks like the beleaguered post-apocalyptic TV series Jericho is dead again. Well, maybe… maybe not. But probably no amount of nuts will bring this show back again. More than likely, though, Jericho […]
