The residents of “Jericho” will not live to fight another day. CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said the show would not return after its March 25 finale. Fan fervor bought the show seven more episodes after it was canceled last spring, but ratings have fallen since its Feb. 12 return.
The season premiere, with Skeet Ulrich and Lennie James as post-apocalyptic small-town guys, attracted 7.2 million viewers, but the audience dropped to 5.8 million by last week.
“The March 25th episode of ‘Jericho’ will be the series finale,” Tassler said in a statement Friday. “Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this program; we simply wish there were more.”
