Over the weekend, CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler confirmed that the Three Rivers TV show had indeed been cancelled. Now that Alex O’Loughlin is finished with that series, does that mean that Moonlight will be coming back?
Moonlight follows private investigator and vampire Mick St. John (O’Loughlin) and Beth Turner (Sophia Myles), an Internet reporter. St. John saved Beth’s life as a child and the two develop a romantic relationship years later. Others in the series include Jason Dohring, Shannyn Sossamon, and Brian J. White
Though Moonlight had decent ratings and a devout group of followers, CBS decided to cancel the series after just one season. The network wanted to stay in business with O’Loughlin however and that eventually led to him being cast in Three Rivers.

While some Moonlight fans followed O’Loughlin to the new series, many didn’t. Some people who have posted to this site have said that they refused to watch Three Rivers in hopes that this would somehow convince/force CBS to revive Moonlight.
Now that Three Rivers has been officially cancelled, will Moonlight be back? While Tassler proudly takes credit for being ahead of the current vampire craze, she says that the network has no plans to revive the little-watched cult favorite.
Despite his show’s low ratings, Tassler does still believe in O’Loughlin’s talent and said, “We’re trying to find something for him.”
What do you think? What kind of role would you like to see O’Loughlin take on next? Do you think Moonlight is a help or hindrance to his career? Is the role that helped make him famous actually stifling his career?

the only reason the figures were low is cause everyone used to watch them online to get an episode ahead! thats how great they were!
I think so poorly of CBS after they cancled the show and they probably had such a good lead in the apartment that it should have lasted but twilight didnt come out till 3 months later and the vampire rage wasnt in yet but if they continue it now id bet ya anything theyd get the best they`ve done in years!!
BRING IT BACK
I just found out about Moonlight and after watching it for the first time I can’t stop. I am a Twilight fan as well as Vampire Diaries. I assure you that in this current time in which vampires are so popular, this show would explode—NO DOUBT! The cast is genius! I love them! The chemistry between Sophia & Alex is insane! –Love them! All supporters actors were amazing as well. Please, please, please bring Moonlight back….it will do phenomenal…come on as a network have some VISION!
plz plz we want Season 2 :(((
moonlight was a great show and I seriously think that it needs to be brought back to tv for all it’s
the way shows like this are canceled gets on my nerves. i mean these are great tv shows so why do they get canceled?! A lot of people from different continent watch these shows when they are aired and they love it, so i see no reason why such shows should be canceled..
pleaaaseeeee, do more moonligth. i love this show. you got to reair this program and continue it with new seasons…there’s so much questions and no answers in this drama. you have a lot of material to continue it.
While Hawaii Five-O is a good series, nothing takes it like Moonlight did. I just rented the final series from Blockbuster…the show was so good and everyone in it was fantastic. Everyone I know including myself miss that show so much.
We NEED MORE!)
There are very much questions without answers!
All actors must be same: Alex, Sophia, Jason and Shannyn!
We look forward to that continuation nevertheless will be taken off!
I’m looked much films and serials about vampires (The Vampire Diaries, Real blood of and other), and favourites are Buffy and Moonlight excellent serial!!!!
moonlight was my favorite show why don,t you make a full movie with all the same characters my grandaughter was all into twilight till i gave moonlight to her she loved it and quit watching twilight we have all watched moonlight several times
