'Jericho' to be revived by Netflix?

'Jericho' to be revived by Netflix?

Netflix is in talks with CBS to revive cult drama Jericho.

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.

'Walking Dead' star Jeffrey DeMunn joins Frank Darabont's 'LA Noir'

'Walking Dead' star Jeffrey DeMunn joins Frank Darabont's 'LA Noir'

Jeffrey DeMunn and Andrew Rothenberg have joined the cast of Frank Darabont's pilot LA Noir.

The TNT drama, set in the '40s and '50s, will focus on the conflict between the LAPD and the mob, led by gangster Mickey Cohen.

Both DeMunn and Rothenberg previously worked with Darabont on zombie series The Walking Dead.

Rothenberg wrote on Twitter: "Get ready Walking Dead fans, I'll be working with Frank Darabont, Jon Bernthal and Jeffrey DeMunn on LA Noir, a pilot for TNT!"

Rothenberg's character Jim was killed off in the The Walking Dead's first season, while DeMunn's Dale died in season two's 'Judge, Jury, Executioner'.

Darabont himself was fired from his role as the AMC drama's showrunner, reportedly following a dispute over budget.

Jon Bernthal - who played Shane on The Walking Dead - was previously cast in LA Noir as Los Angeles cop Joe Teague.

The pilot also stars Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes), Neal McDonough (Justified), Alexa Davalos (Clash of the Titans) and Simon Pegg (Star Trek).

'The Voice' UK revamp ordered after viewing figures fall?

'The Voice' UK revamp ordered after viewing figures fall?

The Voice UK will reportedly be revamped following concerns about the most recent instalments of the show.

According to the Daily Star, producers are planning dramatic changes aimed at regaining viewers after the programme's figures dropped last weekend.

The Voice UK Results Show 1: Will.i.am and Jessie J react to the results.

The coaches will reportedly no longer perform a song together at the start of the show, after criticism of their rendition of U2's 'Beautiful Day'. Instead they will sing with their own acts, following the lead of the US version of the programme.

A string of guest stars, including Adele, are also apparently being lined up to perform alongside the contestants.

In addition, double eliminations from each team will be introduced to create more drama.

The coaches have also reportedly been asked to become more critical and cruel, and have been told to 'do their homework' following an incident when Sir Tom Jones called contestant Joelle Moses "Jolene".

A source said: "The BBC know that The Voice is liked by fans but the first live show didn't quite go as planned.

"They're ordering a shake-up because they cannot afford to lose viewers."

Jerry Seinfeld's Next Project Involves Larry David, Ricky Gervais, Alec Baldwin and Cars

What's the deal with all those cryptic tweets Jerry Seinfeld's been posting in the last few weeks? They're leading up to Seinfeld's announcement of his next big project, which includes Larry David, Ricky Gervais, Alec Baldwin and some very cool cars.

The project the comedian has been referring to on Twitter is not a TV commercial, but the aforementioned celebs are "indeed elements of the project," a rep for Seinfeld told TheWrap.

Seinfeld's latest tweets on the project came on Monday, when he posted a pair of photos -- one of him walking with David and another of he and David getting into a 1952 VW Bug -- along with the tweets "Seiny and LD back together again? What could this mean?" and "Here's a clue: A 1952 VW."

On April 17, Seinfeld tweeted "New Seiny Gig Update: Always lovable Ricky Gervais and myself shooting today in City Island, NY," along with a photo of Gervais and him in a vintage sports car.

On April 9, Seinfeld tweeted "My New Project: Shooting today in Battery Park City," along with a photo of himself inside a DeLorean, and on March 9, he tweeted, "Working on my New Thing. Shooting in Manhattan with the Great @alecbaldwin," along with a photo of him walking with Baldwin on the Upper West Side in New York City.

Seinfeld, who was the first guest co-host on the post-Regis Philbin "Live! With Kelly" last November, is currently touring with his latest standup show.

Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson Starring in 'True Detective' at HBO

Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson Starring in 'True Detective' at HBO

"EDtv" co-stars and real-life pals Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are nearing a deal to co-star in "True Detective," an anthology crime series at HBO.

Multiple sources confirm to TheWrap that the series, written by "The Killing" writer Nic Pizzolatto and directed by Cary Fukunaga ("Jane Eyre"), would star the duo as Rust Cohle (McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Harrelson), a pair of detectives whose paths cross when they're both trying to solve a 17-year-old serial murder mystery in Louisiana.

The project was developed by Anonymous Content, and will be produced by Richard Brown, Steve Golin, Bard Dorros and Pizzolatto and Fukunaga.

The story would begin with the 1995 murder and pick up when the case is reopened in 2012. McConaughey and Harrelson would star in eight episodes for the show's first season, which would end with the case being solved. Deadline.com first reported the story.

Subsequent seasons would revolve around new stories and characters, not unlike FX's "American Horror Story." Given the potential for a limited time commitment, "True Detective," like "AHS," would be likely to attract a longer list of possible stars for future seasons.

McConaughey and Harrelson also co-starred in the movie "Surfer, Dude" and both made cameos in "Welcome to Hollywood."
