Will JERICHO return again?

Jericho is a show that simply won't die. After getting canceled once, returning to the air following massive fan efforts, and then finally ending after a shortened second season, it now looks the cult favorite post-apocalyptic series will come back one more time as a TV movie.

Speaking with SCI FI Wire, Jericho star Lennie James said that he learned about the TV movie last week at Comic-Con.

"While we were there, Karim [Zreik], one of the producers, said that the idea of a movie is still on the cards," James said. "They're just trying to come up with the two-hour story that's worth telling. So that's where they are at the moment. But it's still on the cards, and people are still interested."

James said he'd be thrilled to return for the movie. Originally from the UK, Jericho was James' breakout role in the US.

"Listen, I loved doing Jericho," he said. "I had a lot of fun on Jericho. I've made friends for life on Jericho. It was my introduction to not just American television, but to America. Jericho did me nothing but favors, so if they come up with a story that's strong and that justifies doing it, and they get it done in the way that I would hope it should be done, then, yeah, I'll be the first name on the list. If not, the second."
