      Jericho and CBS Update

      This year's Comic-Con marks the 10th anniversary since Jericho's premier (at Comic-Con 2006) and this is also coinciding with CBS push to move into SVOD (subscription video on-demand). CBS's SVOD service is called All Access and is available for $6.00 per month. All Access will start original programs (not in the current CBS digital library) in 2017.

      The first original series is the new Star Trek (premiers in Jan 2017), that we hope to hear more about at Comic-Con. The second original series is the spinoff from The Good Wife (premiers in Spring 2017). CBS had previously announced that 3-4 new series would be added per year. Person of Interest looked like it was heading to a spin-off, but the producers have said nothing is currently in the works, so there are still two slots available for the 2017's All Access schedule.

      We know that a Jericho continuation is being considered, since it was Netflix's interest in Jericho that started CBS on this path. This was quoted to me recently "CBS told Netflix no for a reason". We also know that exactly 30 days before Comic-Con, CBS just moved one of its top drama executives over to All Access. Julie McNamara is now the EVP Original Content for All Access.

      After Comic-Con, we will either be thanking Mrs. McNamara or be lobbying her to put Jericho on All Access.

      Stay tuned until after Comic-Con (July 21-24) to see what will happen to Jericho!

      Season 5 Jericho Graphic Novel

      I got a third-hand report from WonderCon (March) saying IDW had been talking about the Jericho S5 comic. That contradicts the last report I got (last October) that IDW lost the Jericho license. I am not surprised that IDW did an about face, since I was originally told that we would not hear anything about S5 until 2016.

      The comic/graphic novel seasons have always been lead-ins for what will follow and I do not believe season 5 would go forward unless another Jericho continuation is again in the works.

      We will hunt down IDW and get an update at Comic Con!

      Wednesday Night Jericho Watchers

      We are back and because we took a long spring break (due to Gwen's horrendous sinus headaches); we are not planning a break during Comic-Con. We will host the chat during preview night at Comic-Con (Wednesday July 20th). After Comic-Con we will be chatting every Wednesday night.

      Starting times: 6 pm Pacific/ 7 pm MT / 8 pm CT/ 9 pm ET. At quarter after, we have a brief countdown and then we start our episode. Watch via whatever source you have: Netflix, DVD, CBS All Access or iTunes.

      Chat room location: <<http://jkchat.apphb.com/Chat>>

      Once you are in the chat room, set your nickname and join the lobby. If you cannot post, then refresh your screen.
