Does anyone know if there was a Season 3 of Jericho ever made? Has the movies been made?

Thanks!

I also came across Jericho by accident as it is playing reruns right now. I remember it when it came out but was too busy for TV now. It would be nice to see them give it another run. Everyone I’ve exposed to the show is now hooked also.. funny. Well, except for one of my friend who is a GS worker.. saying it send the wrong message.. haha
Is it too late for a revival?

In case anybody still reads this, I wanted to note that if you’re like these folks who don’t watch TV but stumbled on Jericho and liked it, you should also give Firefly a try. There hasn’t been “much” worth watching for years, but that’s not the same as “nothing”.

Love the show. Just watched both seasons on netflix in 2 days. My gf is in the hospital and I am stayin with her so I had to find something to do. I love the idea and the actors of the show. The story line is great and suspenseful as well. I am waiting to see the action for the civil war. We all know how it is goin to end but we still want to see it. Jake Green is a great actor and fits the hero part very well. I just wish someone would pick up the series and bring it back. With NCIS goin on cbs people don’t really want another military show. But I think if someone like fox or usa picked it up they could go somewhere with it. Not sure if I will buy the comic books though. Not really my thing. When the movie comes out I will defenitly go see it!!!

My wife and I stumbled onto Jericho through Netflix. We enjoyed it so much we spent nearly all our free time watching it. Much to our extreme disappointment we discovered that season 2 consisted of only 7 episodes. We wanted to note that we do not watch TV, we only watch movies or Netflix, this said we would entertain hooking out sets up if Jericho was an ongoing show. In the past few months since watching the series we have told well over a dozen freinds about it and many of them are as hooked as we are. Anything we can do to help reconstitute the show, convince other networks to run with it anew or similar let us know.

I think a mini-series maybe but a comic would not reach all of the fans and a movie not based on the show would plain stink

It’s a shame it’s only a comic. Don’t get me wrong, I love comics, but it’s not what’s needed here.

A new series is needed – or another station to pick it up – when they already have a good fanbase and thus loyal viewers it’s a shame that none of them haven’t.

Great great show. Was very sad to see if go after two seasons.

After accidentally catching the first show of season 1, I was hooked. Got all the disks for both seasons from NetFlix and watched them straight thru. I thought WEST WING was the best ever TV show till Jericho and was heartbroken to find it ended. BUT THEN, I read that the peanut campaign had reversed the execs’ minds and the show would continue. NOW I read it “might” come back as a comic book??? Give me a break. Everyone I showed the first show to went out and bought their own disks or got them from Net Flix and want to see more as much as my wife & I. So is it coming back on TV for additional seasons or not? I don’t have much strength left to continue to hope for its return. THIS IS SO SAD!!!

I too would like season three on Tv. It seemthere will not be. Still they could do a mini series like burn notice on usa tv station.They bring it on twice a year summer and winter and let it run for seven shows then bring it back for seven more,so why can’t one of the tv stations pick it up like that I would be happy with that. No movie or comic book ever would be Jericho for me. I want the tv version only. I would watch the movie or the comic because I’m a Jericho fan I will support it,but I still want the tv series go on with the tv charcters in person on the tv screen.

I’m very excited about the prospect of a comic book. If there is more story to tell, then I say tell it, and we should be grateful that “the show that won’t die” is able to accomplish this through another medium besides television. While it’s not my first choice, I’m convinced enough by the producers’ faith and their involvement in the project. The movie is what I’m still hoping for, simply because to be able to see these actors again would be so worth the wait.

For those of you opposed, I’m not really sure why. There aren’t many options left, and I think we’re getting a pretty awesome gift.

I believe Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller had the idea first. Way to think of something on your own creator of Jericho!

I don’t usually comment on these articles, but I wanted to share my 2 cents worth.

I’m looking forward to the comic book and will buy it if I can find it. I may even resort to ordering it from Amazon if necessary. My continued loyalty to it, though, will depend on the storyline, artwork and whether or not they keep my favourite characters front and centre.

This reminds me of Babylon 5, which was the first time (I believe) where there was a TV show, TV movies, TV “mini-series”, comics and novels – all of which were/are considered “canon”. So, the concept of a TV show crossing mediums is a pretty familiar one. (And let’s not even get into all the different lives Star Trek has had!).

Anyway, personally, I am way more disappointed with the movie idea than the comic book (or graphic novel, whichever it may be) suggestion. While I want to see the actors back on screen and in these roles, my preference would be to get at least a mini-series (6-8 hours). I could go off on a rant about the movie idea, but there really is no point – and I’ll watch it anyway…

This is Angel all over again. Seriously, the diehards were claiming that it’d be no good to see it continue in art form, but look where it is now – a top charter for the company publishing it. That’s a testament to how a series that’ll never get life breathed into it again through a screen can still hold the attention of its fans.

On the contrary, look at Dead Like Me. The diehards were hoping a movie could cement its true popularity. Well, they got a movie out and it was quite a dud.

The diehards whining and mincing about Jericho not being able to carry over to a graphic novel format are amusing. I don’t presume to say it won’t work, because there’s a possibility that it can. Automatically detracting from it because you might hate the words “comic book” isn’t giving your beloved series a fair shake. You’d complain about CBS doing the same thing, so why take that same road yourselves? Also, since when is all art immediately “cartoon” anyway? Get a grip and at least become aware of what you’re insulting.

Honestly, it seems more like the fans who know the show will never appear onscreen again are just trolling in denial.

I think for those that read comic books and magazines they will like this story and I think that this is not a bad idea. But for myself this is not my choice. But I do hope this will spread the word On this truly awesome show!!!! I know that I will continue to write and let the Powers to be that I am out here and willing to pay for it on a pay preview situation and wanting the rest of the story. I just it does not end up like FireFly which was another truly great show cut too short!!!!

Well Steve, maybe I have higher standards on what a true fan is. A true fan remembers what made this show great, and remembers that it was first and foremost a SHOW with great writing and great actors – not a comic book. If you’re satisfied with this monumental step backwards than more power to you. You can remained glued to your couch with your eyes fixed on your kiddie cartoon magazines while the rest of us out there get enriched with smart quality programming.

No individual posting under an alias of Jericho Fan is a true fan of the show, or an appreciator of art for that matter. They should remain glued to their couches with their eyes fixed on a screen while the rest of us out there get enrichment toward something we enjoy.

I haven’t bought a comic book since I was a kid, but I will buy this one. I want more story. If this is what is available, I’ll buy it. If a novel were the medium, I would buy that too. The story is what is important to me. Nobody said the movie hinges on us buying the comic book. That’s conjecture. I have read a lot since being involved in the Jericho fan movement about comic books, aka graphic novels. I have seen a few samples of the modern version of comic books and they are quite good representations of the story, just with pictures accompanying the words. That isn’t a bad thing. I know from ComiCon and WonderCon that this media is now big business. The world moves on. Jericho will to.

Hard to believe one fan would claim to speak for 90% of all of us. There are loads of Jericho fans who are profoundly disappointed in the prospect of a comic book. Those of us who loved the show for its depth and nuance know these features will be lost in a comic book. Those of us who treasured the actors for their wide range of subtle expressions, delicate changes of tone, or hard to capture in words sense of humor are disgusted with the idea of a comic book. This project does a serious disservice to Jericho and the poor sales will be living proof.

While I really want season 3 and will settle for a movie, I am excited about the comic books because it will introduce the show to a whole new audience. I am glad to get new storyline while they work on getting financing for the movie which I know will take time in our economy. I am also encouraged that the creators are so involved in the new comic books because that means the new story will be their story. It is wonderful to belong to this fandom because the creators care so much about the show too.

JerichoFan — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:34:27 +0000

Norsu is the last person who speaks for “90% of fandom.”

I’m not even going to waste my time on a comic book. To go from having this great show with these great actors to seeing a cartoon version of the story is a huge downgrade. Either make the movie or don’t but quit trying to pacify us with this crap.

TV needs to rise to the 21st century. THere are so many mediums, models and show ideas that fail.
Jericho has had a loyal US fanbase with many watching it on-line, DVR, etc. In the UK here it was initially Satellite only, followed by a stint on an obscure Digital TV channel. Advertising/promoting the show was next to non existent and it was by chance I found some season 1 episodes.

The fact that so many viewers have rallied to get a season 2 and now some future Graphic Novel/Movie is rumbling around means there is some gravitas towards the well written, shot, produced and acted show. The fact that this “Comic” story is worldwide news is an eye opener to the TV networks on the possibilities of new methods of viewer habits.

When the Graphic Novel/Comic is released then I will give it a read but it has to be the professional novel rather than the old school comic books.

I hope that the talks/politics are fruitful and not hot air when the main broadcasters search for the next cash cow (big brother with children, Celebrity pensioners climbing everest, etc.) with the gullible contact methods to vote someone off the show.

YAY!! Considering the enormous footprint Comic-con has left all over Hollywood, I see a comic book as nothing but good news. Anything that will bring in new people to the Jericho story is fine with me.

Looking forward to the Fall and the first issue!

I’m looking forward to the comic series. While it’s not as good as a television series or movie I think it can be a great springboard to bigger and better things. And it’s a great way to build more of a fan base while giving all of us further insight into this wonderful story.

I share NorthernND’s felling completely ! ! !

First there were no conditions put on getting a movie produced. Now, it’s buy the comic book so we can make the movie. Is the movie being held hostage by a comic book ? Is the ransom for the movie the comic sales ?
It does sound like blackmail, doesn’t it ? I am not giving TPTB one(1) more cent of my money or one (1) more minute of my time. I don’t trust them any more either.
P.S. And I don’t do stockholm syndrome.

This is a great thing! The current fans get more storyline of our favorite town Jericho! Plus just think of all the potential new fans it will bring in. This can only be a win-win for old and new fans alike as we wait for the movie. Kudos to the writers, looking forward to it!

I thank the producers and creators of Jericho for pursuing more Jericho for us the fan’s… A movie and comic book medium are cool to me and 90% of fandom. ND’s comment’s are by far not the fans consensus – lets roll!

NorthernND — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 21:45:03 +0000

The powers behind Jericho are dangling this venture like a carrot, claiming that this will be the stepping stone to getting a movie and possibly reviving the series. Disgusted that after all the fans’ time, money and efforts, we are being blackmailed into a stupid comic book.

I’ll reserve full opinion until it comes out, but I am definitely NOT HAPPY about this!
