Top Reasons To Watch Jericho

GET TO KNOW LIFE IN JERICHO! 

A British western set in the Yorkshire Dales in the 1870s, this drama takes place in the shantytown of Jericho, home to a community that will live, thrive and die in the shadow of the viaduct they’ve been brought together to build.

In case you needed a reason to tune in to WLRN-TV Monday nights at 9 beginning March 20th for the hottest drama on television, we've got several really good ones...

WHERE ELSE CAN YOU SEE A BRITISH WESTERN?

Annie and her two children

This eight-episode drama is about a woman named Annie Quaintain  who must haul herself and her two children to a rough-and-rowdy railroad camp in 1870s Yorkshire.   MORE >

 
IT STARS A HUNKY GUY

Hans Matheson as Johnny

Notably Johnny Jackson (Hans Matheson - Sherlock Holmes, Game of Thrones). He’s a handsome young guy with a mysterious past and if you suspect there will be a “will they/won’t they” between Johnny and Annie, well, you wouldn’t be the only one.  MORE >

 
IT HAS A COLORFUL, SOMETIMES SEEDY, CAST OF CHARACTERS
 

The towns people of Jericho

Nothing says drama like a sketchy cast of characters.  It turns out that Jericho is full of lawless men, rowdy workers and prostitutes.  It's a community of pioneers, settlers and outcasts, people with secrets to hide and those looking to start again.   MORE >

 
JERICHO IS A FEAST FOR THE EYES

Production team delighted with stunning landscapes

Shot on location in Yorkshire, Jericho is rough, rustic and remote, but a visual beauty of the wild west. Film crews for Jericho summed up their view of the locations as simply "stunning".   MORE >
 

 
A WESTERN TOLD FROM A WOMAN'S PERSPECTIVE
 

Jessica Raine as Annie

This classic Western tale is told from the perspective of a woman. Annie isn’t talking feminism, but in a real sense she’s living it, and by extension we also get ongoing insights into the world of the women around her. MORE >

 
NO ONE SAID LIFE WAS EASY IN THE 19TH CENTURY

Life in Jericho

Jericho is a period drama taking place in the 1870's a time when people had to endure the hardships of homesteading.  It was not for the faint of heart.
