In a letter to fans of
Jericho, CBS President Nina Tassler announced that they were picking up the show for 7 additional episodes to be broadcast mid-season next year. Tassler also revealed the date of the season 1 set -

Jericho, shooting bonus material for the DVD set. Here's the material of interest in the article:
When released this fall, the DVD will be loaded with commentaries, deleted scenes and other features, including a documentary about the nuclear arms trade, all of them produced by DVD Group, Naylor's 3-year-old firm.
