Jericho Season 3?


Jericho Mushroom CloudJericho season 3 could still rise from the ashes! CBS may have cancelled Jericho for the second time at the end of the 7 episode long season 2, but that doesn’t mean to say that no other networks or distribution deals can be done!

There are various potential Jericho season 3 deals to be made as IGN recently reported, let’s hope that one of these actually works out!

At this point, any news of Jericho’s demise should be considered exaggerated. Once a show proves that it can rise from the ashes based on fan support – it becomes a unique commodity in television. While Jericho’s audience might not be CSI-sized – they are far from the regular casual viewers. They are dedicated, and they’ll follow the series wherever it goes. Exploiting the value of such an audience is just good business – and it looks like others are starting to figure that out.

The fans are willing to do what it takes to bring the show back from the brink for a second time and this can be seen for example through the efforts that are going on over at Jericho-Kansas.com where they have outlined details of “Save Jericho: The Sequel” which includes addresses for fans to write letters to various networks who may be potential buyers for the series.

Another way to show support for the show would be to pre-order the Jericho Season 2 DVD boxset from Amazon which would also show other networks that there is money to be made from this show!

If Jericho season 3 does happen, it will likely involve us finding out what has been going on in New York City which manage to survive it’s nuclear attack due to it’s increased security following 9/11 - there is also more Jericho season 3 details to read about which just goes to show what direction it would go in.

Do you think Jericho can be brought back again? Surely having less viewers in total can be outweighed by them being more loyal and invested viewers - it must be good for something and a suitable business model can be worked around that asset to make it all viable when it comes down to hard-cash aspect of the show?

UPDATE: As mentioned in the links in the comments below, one way that fans can show support for Jericho season 3 to potential new networks is to get their pre-orders for the Jericho season 2 DVD boxset, it’s priced really well and you’re getting value for money for the 7 episode season and is definitely recommended!

    HELL YES! I THINK JERICHO CAN BE BROUGHT BACK! It’s better than anything that’s been on tv and I think it just maybe the best tv show since television existed.

    I agree with Ravenwood420 - Jericho is the best thing to ever happen to TV. It must be saved, and we will do it - make history again!

    We’re fighting hard for Season 3! We’re confidant that this is a real possibility of Jericho ending up on another network.

    I’d also like to say that I have met some incredible international Jericho fans on the boards and consider some of them true friends.

    YES!! JERICHO MUST BE SAVED!!
    It is the best show to come around in a long, long, time.
    Fans are broken-hearted that CBS canceled it.
    We are still fighting to save it.
    Thank you for your support.

    I remember when they did the same thing to Space Above and Beyond and Firefly…

  7. Zath on April 23rd, 2008 1:20 pm

    Gwen - No problem at all, anything I can do here to help spread the word I’m more than happy to do as it’s a great show and one worth saving…especially when there is so many mediocre shows re-newed year after year.

    Home Shopping - I remember when they did the same thing with those two shows as well as American Gothic, Dark Skies and Crusade - all of which had great potential….if only they weren’t cancelled - over the long term, these kind of shows have the loyal fans that are the ones who buy the DVD boxsets which have to generate lots of money over the long term.

    LOL - We had never watched Jericho until we found it on NetFlix.

    My mother’s been blabbing about it since the beginning… We thought it sounded boring, but were so wrong. Now we’re hooked and keep watching the mailbox for the next DVD. (We’re still on season one so give us a little time to catch up:-))

    Jennifer - it’s curiously compelling! It starts out slow, but you can really get into after the first few episodes - the whole concept entices you in with what direction the show will go and what is happening in the world outside of Jericho.

    I still cant believe the show was canceled. One of my fave all time shows. I’m heading over to some of the links above to see how I can help get J3 up and running!!

    They should take it back to Jericho so much could happen with the war between the ASoA and the USA.

  12. Joel on June 11th, 2008 4:53 am

    i live in australia and i cant believe this show cant find a tv network to go on if it went to the sci fi or cw network JERICHO would easily be the highest rated show i hope JERICHO gets a third season and gets all the promotion this great show deserves i am currently watching the reruns on sci fi what a great show

  13. trueAmerican on June 15th, 2008 6:07 am

    recently in a game of RISK a friend of mine told me to back out of N. America if I wanted to stay alive, i will give you one guess as to my response, thats right I handed him a piece of paper that all it said on it was “NUTS”. after watching the HBO show on John Adams all I could think about is how much I missed Jericho I am a die hard fan (own season 1 on dvd and have watcher it at least 4 times) and I just want the show back, I dont care how. as long as the new writers dont go insane I love the connections between this show and our country’s revolution, maybe the next season can move to some connections to the revolutionary war which it is obviously going into. Oh man I get worked up just thinking about the possibilities.

    i am from the netherlands/holland and i watch the show on the dutch cannels and i hate it when a show stops mid storry the same thin happend with space above , joan of arcadia, firefly and a lot more of the shows we get to see for a bit and then cbs cut off the funding thats stupid. i would like to see atleast one show to its end.

  15. mickb on July 6th, 2008 9:40 pm
