Jericho Could Follow Serenity’s Lead
With a small but intensely loyal fanbase out there, there is some talk that the dearly departed CBS drama Jericho could return as a movie. The short-lived Joss Whedon sci-fi western Firefly came back as a movie that was critically acclaimed but didn’t make tons of money.
But executive producer Carol Barbee told Sci Fi Wire she’s open to the possibilities.
“There’s definitely an Internet series to be had, and we always talked about a graphic novel, and … a movie,” Barbee said. “I mean, there are lots of things that I could easily see as a way to continue the story.”
The second X-Files film is on its way this summer and of course there’s a little show called Star Trek that managed to live well past its initial run on TV. The Star Trek films were a huge part of that resurgence. Another possibility Barbee touched on was some sort of graphic novel. That’s a road that has been successfully navigated by cult favorites Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff Angel. Both those shows are continuing where the TV adventures left by taking the story into comic books. Whatever happens, Jericho’s impact looks to last longer than its one and a half seasons on CBS would dictate.
