Could Jericho once more rise from the ashes? The CBS series, about the residents of a town surviving in a post-apocalyptic world, could potentially return with new episodes, says TV Guide Magazine

New episodes of Jericho would not air on CBS, but be available via Netflix, who TV Guide Magazine reveals are the ones who initiated conversations with CBS TV Studios about reviving the series. Netflix have plans to bring back Arrested Development and were recently in talks (which fell through) to save Terra Nova, along with conversations with Disney about potentially continuing The River – the status of which is currently unknown.

This all comes about as Netflix moves aggressively into original programming, including the new episodes of Arrested and the upcoming David Fincher-produced House of Cards. TV Guide Magazine says Jericho is of interest to Netflix because of the continued popularity of the show's 29 episodes among their subscribers.The difficult part would be re-assembling the show's original producers and cast, many of whom are currently on other projects. Still, Jericho defeated the odds once before, getting a second season (after a famous fan campaign that involved sending nuts to CBS) after initially being canceled. Since then, the story of the show has continued on via comic books.

One thing's for sure: If Jericho returns, it should make IGN's own Colin Moriarty a very happy guy.
