More than likely what we got is all that remains. Usually after a show's cancellation, the sets are torn down, sold; actors and crew released from their contracts. There may be scripts or rough outlines written, but it is unlikely that the show will come back unless they get a word of change from the CBS brass (unlikely).
Any fan of "Invasion" and "Surface" knows this. Single season shows that had good stories but were cancelled after season ending cliffhangers.
Perhaps a movie may be possible, but mostly unlikely. The only instance I know of this happening with a single season show is "Firefly" which spawned the movie "Serenity" a few years after its 13-episode single season.

Only I was hoping for the Serenity franchise spawn more sequel films.
I just read on TV Guide.com that CBS is really close to bringing Jericho back for at least 8 more episodes, possibly mid-season.
That's great news if it comes true! If you haven't heard, fans all around the country have been sending CBS cases of nuts in protest. The last I heard they were up to 13 tons of nuts.

CBS Reverses Decision to Ax 'Jericho'

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Jericho" fans who slammed CBS with protests over the drama's cancellation have won the battle: It will return next season, the network said Wednesday.
It was an unusual display of viewer might since networks usually put ratings ahead of even the most passionate, well-organized fan base. But CBS said the show deserved another chance, while cautioning that it must prove it has wider appeal.
"Wow! Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series," CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said in a letter to "Jericho" boosters.
It is quite surprising to me that a network would bring back a cancelled show purely on the power of fan response. But for Jericho, this is a good thing. Hopefully within the 8 episodes they get to finish up the story and not leave us with another cliffhanger... because I think this will be the last stand for the show. There are the dedicated fans, and everyone else. Unfortunately everyone else is watching American Idol. And in the end, networks still pay more attention to the ratings.
I know I'll be watching the show when it comes back next year.
I wonder if the amount of nuts that was sent to CBS a factor in deciding (50,000 pounds or 25 tons according to CNN's web site as of June 7, 2007) to renew Jericho for next season? I am also wondering if some CBS executive is kicking themselves for not having Planters as a sponser for the show?
Jericho will return for midseason
CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler announced on a network-hosted fan site for the recently canceled Jericho that the network, responding to fan outcry, will order seven more episodes of the Skeet Ulrich drama, to air in midseason.
