Minor spoilers from the next season of Jericho.

Sci Fi Wire scored a big visit to Van Nuys, Cally to the set of CBS’ resurrected series Jericho, which is getting a limited seven episode run. Co-creator Josh Steinberg offered a preview of the second season, which hopefully better written and more on an even keel than the first, “The first season was about that sort of invisible force, the government, the law, the financial system, all those things, disappearing, and living in a vacuum,” Steinberg said in an interview on the set. “And season two is about what happens when something comes back to replace that vacuum, and it’s not what you remembered being there when you left. And so that’s kind of the big arc of it, and how we respond to that and resist it or learn to deal with it.”

“In changing it from 22 to seven episodes, we sort of broke it like a movie,” Steinberg said. “And so I think we want to find the best end of this movie that we can come up with. And I think we have a pretty good one. ... You’re going to feel satisfied, but you’re also going to know that there’s a lot more story coming down the road and that it’s not tied up in a bow in any way.”
