So Long, ‘Jericho’
CBS Goes Nuts and Cancels Series
Low ratings have given the Eye Network an acceptable excuse to close the door on Jericho, so the network has done just that. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show’s producers were informed of the cancellation yesterday.
As a result of this anticipated development — Jericho‘s ratings were even lower this season than during the first — next Tuesday’s episode, the seventh of the current season, will feature the ending created in case CBS declined to renew the series for a third season.
Showrunners also filmed a second, alternative ending with a cliffhanger to be aired in the event that a third season was granted. Even with executives’ decision to prevent such a continuation on CBS, there’s still a slight chance another network could pick up Jericho, although which one and when is anyone’s guess.
Stay tuned for future news in this ongoing, nutty saga.

It was confirmed tonight, on Shaun o’Mac’s radio broadcast, that the show’s production company will be trying to find another home for Jericho. Most likely they will be looking at cable networks.

I hope everything works out with alternative arrangements. It would be great to have three or more seasons of Jericho.
