In an interview with Nerdacy, co-creator Stephen Chbosky said there are still talks to revive the twice-canceled CBS series.

"You know WME [William Morris Endeavor] Agency, who represents me, Jon Turteltaub and many other people, and they?ve been talking to Netflix and you never know," Chbosky said. "I can?t say what it will be in Season 3, but I?m excited for the new developments."

Like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Jericho" got a comic series that continued the adventures of the characters.

"The greatest fans in the world came out strong for 'Jericho Season Three: Civil War' and we are so thrilled to announce another installment of the comic book series," Dan Shotz, executive producer of "Jericho," said in a statement when a second season of the comic book series was announced. "Jake and Hawkins have finally come home to Jericho and we want to personally thank those fans and IDW for allowing that to happen."

"Jericho" premiered on CBS in September 2006 to 11.7 million viewers. After a low-rated first season, the network pulled the plug on the Skeet Ulrich-fronted series. However, a fan campaign that saw viewers send peanuts to the network convinced CBS to order a seven-episode Season 2. But the media attention didn't bring more viewers and ratings were worse than Season 1 so "Jericho" was canceled again.

Rumors of "Jericho" returning with new episodes via Netflix have been popping up here and there with TV Guide providing a credible report in May 2012. Since then, there's been no official word. Better get those peanuts ready.

I really miss this show and enjoyed it a lot. I hope the chances are high that it does get revived; yet again.

Another great program that got canceled :( along with The Event, Flash Forward etc. Shame tho as these programs are awesome!\

It would have been nice to have seen at least a few more seasons of FlashForward and The Event.

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
