CBS has yet to renew the Friday night vampire series but that’s not stopping Moonlight executive producer Joel Silver and the show’s writers. They’re already plotting Moonlight’s second season.
While promoting the upcoming Speed Racer film, Silver talked about Moonlight’s prospects for a second year on CBS. He said, “We’re hopeful… I mean, the next episode goes on next Friday night [April 25th], which is a really great episode. It starts out, Mick [Alex O'Loughlin] is still human, but then he has to go back to being a vampire. And I have three more really strong episodes. And I hope that it does come back, because we have a whole plan for next year that’s fantastic.”
The network has been on the fence about renewing Moonlight though it seems like the chances are good. Silver says that he’s scheduled to meet with CBS programming executives to talk about the show’s future. “Well, we’re going to go in, as a matter of fact, next week for a pitch meeting to tell them what we’re going to do next year.”
Based on what the programmers hear and the performance of the new episodes, they’ll decide whether Mick St. John will return to walk the streets of Los Angeles next fall. CBS announces its 2008-09 schedule in mid-May. Stay tuned!

pleaseplease bring back moonlight
I guess these so called executives don’t want an award winning, already having a huge following of fans, incredible show for their own. I guess they think the garbage they’re spewing out now is good enough. ANOTHER “reality” show or a remake of a show from 10 – 20 years ago? Really? Gee, that’s original. Might as well just rerun the original shows and say, well, some of the viewers weren’t around when it first aired but that’s alright because we’re going to air it again. Why on earth would we want an original show? What a bunch of morons. Bring back Moonlight!!! VSRRR!!!
YOU MUST BRING BACK MOONLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS MY FAVORITE TV SHOW & THEY MUST MAKE SEASON 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
