Though CBS has cancelled the fan favorite show, it seems Moonlight may not be dead yet. Kinda appropriate for a vampire show.
Deadline Hollywood Daily is reporting that Moonlight may be moving to the CW – but not as part of the regular schedule that was reported earlier today.
The CW has had a very difficult time attracting viewers to any of their Sunday night programming. As a result, they recently made the decision to sell the entire 7-10pm timeblock – not just the commercial space. They found a buyer in Media Rights Capital (MRC), an indie company. Under the agreement, MRC will develop programming and sell advertising time to go with it.
According to Finke, there’s a chance that MRC may pick up Moonlight to fill some of that airtime. But, if they want it, they’ll have to work fast.
When the cancellation news came down, the Warner Bros. crew was told to start tearing down the Moonlight sets almost immediately. When this new deal became a possibility, they were told to hold off – until Friday.
Would Moonlight be a good fit? Obviously being on the CW on Sunday nights would be an uphill battle ratings-wise. But, if the vampire show could bring most of its CBS viewers to the night, it would be outperforming just about everything else on the network. We’ll keep you posted. Stay tuned!

Although, I already submitted my comments. I wanted to stress that the incredible acting done by Jason Dohring ( I accidentally typed in Matt on last comments), and Alex O’Loughlin redeemed my faith that great acting hasn’t DIED yet!!!
When is the show “Three Rivers” going to start? And what day and station???
Thank you Joel Silver for showing the greatness of Alex O’Loughlin and Jason Dohring. I’m looking forward to more. MISSING MOONLIGHT:( Diane
Please bring back Moonlight…..
Would love to see Moonlight return back as another series. Didn’t quiet feel right with the ending of season 1
I hope Moonlight does return for another season. I felt as though the show was never given a fair chance. It would be nice to see it return. And if it comes on the CW, all the more better. I’m hooked to the CW now, since The Vampire Diaries has started, I would like to see Moonlight on the same network as The Vampire Diaries. Maybe they could work in connecting the two stories, who knows. I hope that it’ll come back, and they’ll give the show another chance to Shine.
