In February, CBS gave early renewals for eleven of the network’s popular series. One cult favorite missing from the list was the freshman romantic series Moonlight. The series had been performing decently on Friday nights but, because of the writers strike, there haven’t been any new episodes in months. The network is producing four new episodes for this season and will begin airing April 25th. Before giving the go-ahead for season two, CBS likely wants to see if anyone remembers the series.
Fans of the vampire series aren’t waiting to see if the cancellation axe falls before starting campaigns to save it. “Operation: Renew Moonlight” kicked off yesterday and the folks from three fan sites aren’t April Fooling around. They’ve united to encourage fans to fill out a campaign form and send it along with a clove of garlic to Nina Tassler, the president of CBS. Check out Moonlight-United.com for more information.
In another effort, fans wanting to draw attention to the series are teaming up with the Red Cross and YouChoose.net for a weeklong blood drive. The campaign plans have impressed series star Alex O’Loughlin enough to become a spokesman for the Red Cross.

The “Blood Drive to Save Moonlight Campaign” will be held from April 18th through April 27th (corresponding with the start of new episodes) in cities like Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Philadelphia. There are over 4,000 pledges to date and fans are being invited to donate their time, blood or cash to support the effort and the Red Cross. Blood drive participants will be given a special t-shirt as a thank-you. For more information, head on over to MoonlightBloodDrive.org.
CBS announces their 2008-09 schedule in May so we should know if the fans’ hard work has paid off by then. Stay tuned! 
I think its necessary to bring Moonlight season 2 out. Especially because of how you have ended it. I am not from the States and I still love watching it. I think it deserves to come back.
I CANNOT SAY IT ENOUGH…. PLEASE BRING BACK MOONLIGHT!!!!

i really cant believe there not making a season 2.
Moonlight is a really amazing show and after the way it ended we all need to see more .
BRING IT BK BRING IT BK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a bloody mistake to cancel Moonlight. From reading the critics reviews Moonlight didn’t have much of a chance. I wonder if we compare the critic’s reviews of the first season of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” how similar and unflattering the comments would be. Really, the first season of Buffy was pretty shaky, and didn’t start to flow until mid to late second season. But it was given a chance at life and look at the global monster that show became. Not to mention the dollars it made for the network! Moonlight was an interesting concept (certainly for the millions… Read more »
I am so with all of you. Although I am a new fan of Moonlight, I watched all of the first season so that I could catch up for Season 2. Only to find out that it was cancelled! No way….bring it back. It is my favorite show. This show was different. We all want different. CBS said this show wouldn’t draw new fans. Hello? I am one! In fact I plan on watching season 1 again on SCI-FI to help the ratings. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!
Bring the show Moonlight back. I can give you a list of shows that should have been taken off a long time ago!!!!! My husband and I really miss the show.
YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS. I JUST SPENT $30.00 ON THE FIRST SEASON’S EPISODES, THAT WERE SOLD OUT ALL OVER THE STATE OF UTAH. UTAH, FOR HECK SAKES. IF THE REVENUE OFF OF THE CD’S AT $30.00 BUCKS A WACK ARE FLYING OUT OF THE STORES SHOUDN’T THAT GIVE SOME SMART? EXECUTIVE A CLUE ABOUT WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT? HOW MANY HITS DOES CBS HAVE ANYWAY? BRING IT BACK…..
They had such a great thing! They could at least sell the show to Lifetime or another network. Just not cancel it. Come on, common sense. There was a stable audience not just in the US, but if you check out the CBS site, global.
Please make a season 2 this tv series is the best!!!! and addictive!!

How can you NOT believe that CBS took this great show off the air??? First they canceled Close To Home, #1 in the 9pm time slot because too many older people [over 25 that is] were watching. Then they took off Moonlight for the same reason. What did we get instead? Reruns and that god awful stupid show that replaced Moonlight-it was so great I cant even remember its name nor watched after 2 episodes. Thanks to my Dish DVR I could watch Numbers another time and not stay up. Remember over the years ABC was #1 on Friday, then… Read more »
Je ne peux pas croire que vous ne continuez pas cette émission. Nous n’avons pas beaucoup d’émissions en commun mon mari et moi mais celle-ci en faisait partie. Je suis triste car elle a été remplacé par liens de sang et c’est vraiment poche… Avec tous les livres et les films qui sortent sur le sujet vous devriez continuer d’aller vers ce sujet puisqu’il est d’actualité.
Longue vie à Moonlight. L’émission était bien fait et captivante.
I CANT BELEIVE YOU GUYS TOOK THIS OFF THE AIR!!!! HOW MANY SERIES ARE ON REGULAR TV ABOUT VAMPIRES…….NONE!!! MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS WATCHED THIS WITH ME EVERY FRIDAY AFTER GHOST WHISPER.
