Could someone be taking a new swipe at creating another, new Jericho? This could be filed under “There is hope yet.” or “Here We Go Again.”
TV Guide is reporting that Netflix has approached CBS with the premise of possibly reviving the series, Jericho! And word on the street is that CBS is actually considering this possibility.
