Due to the fan uproar (they sent thousands of pounds of nuts to CBS) Jericho is getting a seven episode season two. The short season will narrow it's focus to Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich), Robert Hawkins (Lennie James), and a new character Major Beck (Esai Morales).
If you watched the show in season one you know at the end Jericho was about to be invaded by the neighboring town New Bern.
Since the seven eps were done before the writers strike, they will be one of a very few original shows on tv. The producers are hoping for some good numbers so that they will possibly get a third season.
For those who haven't heard of it, Jericho is the story of what happens to a small Kansas town after terrorists nuke several large US cities. The mayor's prodigal son comes home after having been gone for five years and a very recent newcomer to town seems to know something about what's going on.
SciFi just announced it has the cable rights to the series and will start airing the first season on Feb. 18, the second season starts on CBS on Feb. 12.
