Though things were looking good for a second season of CBS’ vampire show, Moonlight has been cancelled. The show has loyal followers, the ratings were decent, and the series often won its timeslot. What happened?
Essentially Moonlight has been cut for a number of reasons. The rest of the network’s schedule is quite strong in the ratings and it certainly makes no sense to cancel one of the stronger series. If Moonlight were on the ratings-challenged CW, it certainly would have been renewed.
Like Jericho last season, Moonlight has a devout but small audience. Unfortunately, CBS’ decision to resurrect Jericho didn’t work out so well for them. Though many campaigned to get Jericho renewed, fewer people tuned in. CBS likely feels a bit burned by that experience and is reluctant to go down that road again.
The cancellation also stems from the fact that CBS is feeling very confident about their new batch of drama pilots. They’ve given a greenlight for four new dramas this fall and there just wasn’t any room left on the schedule for Moonlight. They know that Moonlight’s audience is unlikely to grow very much and would rather take a chance on a new show.
There’s been much upheaval behind-the-scenes and it’s been reported that the network hasn’t been impressed with the show’s creative development. The ratings were also usually lower than both its lead-in (Ghost Whisperer) and lead-out (Numb3rs).
CBS has given the okay for another season of The Unit. With the network’s full schedule, the drama will likely end up being bumped from Tuesdays and end up on Fridays in Moonlight’s old slot.
Moonlight’s series finale is set to air this Friday, May 16th. Stay tuned! 
Y must u gus concile the most intresting movies like moonlight an kyle xy?y did you produce it at thd first place?please you gus should bring it back because moonlight is what we need.
The most likely to happen is that you won’t even take a look at my comment,however i think I should give it a try…I am from greece..In my country they firstly began to show “Moonlight” on TV about two years ago and I was always wondering why it ends up on the biggest and better moment of the plot and then it just stopped.Even if you think that stopping moonlight would make more profits to you then why don’t you consider the opposite?Even if it didn’t bring the crazy numbers you would want to..would it worth to lose,even that small… Read more »
Moonlight is great. I’ve just finished watching it over again. I can’t believe that there will be no ending of the story. Why do they always have to cancel good TV shows? Moonlight, Veronica Mars, Kyle XY… It’s pointless. You shouldn’t have even made the first season if you have that kind of attitude:/
