Canceled Show Jericho To Return As Comic Book
“Jericho,” which developed a cult following for its post nuclear tale, isn’t coming back as a TV Show, but the series will live on in the form of a new comic book.
The show was extremely popular with hardcore viewers who may remain interested in the franchise.
The show, which centers on the residents of a fictional town of Jericho in the aftermath of nuclear attacks, was initially canceled after its first season due to low ratings. It was later brought back after the network was convinced by loyal fans, but was canceled for the second time after seven episodes.
The comic book series will pick up where the TV show left off a year ago.
The shows creators are happy it will live on.
“Jericho is alive and well, thanks to the amazing fans who’ve driven us to fund new and fresh ways to tell the Jericho story,” said Co-executive producer Dan Shotz.
