'Jericho' to be revived by Netflix?

The series - which starred Skeet Ulrich and Lennie James - followed the residents of the fictional town of Jericho, Kansas, as they struggle to survive in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on the US.
CBS originally axed the show in 2007 after one season, but later reversed their decision following a fan campaign. After a seven-part second run, Jericho was cancelled once again due to low ratings.
Netflix has now approached CBS TV Studios about the possibility of a third season, reports TV Guide.
The move is fuelled by the success of Jericho repeats on Netflix's on-demand service, four years after the show's second cancellation.
Netflix is also producing a revival of axed Fox comedy Arrested Development, and was reportedly in talks to pick up ABC's low-rating supernatural drama The River.
In March, the company declined the chance to produce a second season of cancelled Fox drama Terra Nova.

I have a feeling this maybe a little bit late. If they can get the whole cast back then great, give it a shot. If not.. Leave it, Season 2 wasn't that great, Should never have killed off the father.

This is very exciting news!
JERICHO is the only show I ever got involved in to bring back. Netflix, I would pay a separate premium for the show if that's what it takes to keep it alive.
RANGER NUTS FOR JERICHO!

They could actually go back and tell more stories about all of Season 2 to flesh it out more and sway the overall flow (maybe in flashbacks?). They showed one aspect of the plot, but what about all the ones we missed because the season was short?
