Jericho star still hopeful Netflix will save series (and wants in)

Remember last month's news that Netflix was thinking about reviving the cult post-apocalyptic series Jericho? Well, you can count on at least one member of the cast being interested in returning.

Digital Spy reports that Lennie James, who played Robert Hawkins on the original CBS sci-fi drama, says he'd "definitely be interested" in working on a new version of the show. Jericho was canceled by CBS in 2008 after two seasons, but Netflix has shown interest in bringing it back.

Woo-hoo! Our Man Hawkins!! I'd watch a spin-off show with him! Thanks for the news, Gary!

This is awesome news. I think if anyone can pull it off it's Netflix. I heard Lennie may return to Walking Dead as well.

I guess I'm getting squeamish in old age. I can't watch Walking Dead. There's too much realism in the carnage.

It's been a few years, but don't give up hope. Jericho isn't dead just yet.

If Netflix plays its cards right, this could pay off. I guess their original content (Lillyhammer etc.) has done well. They still have the best streaming platform out there and they're going with their strengths. I hope this is going to happen.
