*At the time of posting, it looks like they still need to do some fact checking as their episode listing is incorrect in both broadcast order and a number of titles. Feel free to use our superior Moonlight Episode Guide and Moonlight Gallery as a reference. ;-)

Moonlight’s Alex O’Loughlin has posted a new entry on his MySpace Blog thanking his fans for their support, laying Moonlight to rest, and looking towards the future:

Family and Friends

Dear Family, Friends and wonderful fans.

I have recently been going through a lot of mail from you guys and I wanted to take this opportunity to say a few things.

First, I would like to preface by appologizing for any late replies to mail I have been sent. I try to get to it all asap but sometimes it goes through a number of different channels before I even see it and time can slip away.

But the main reason for me writing is that I have found myself totally overwhelmed at the amount of support you have all been giving me in this time.

Its true, to have something you put your heart into taken away can be difficult, painful and sometimes confusing. In this instance all of the above. But never do you expect to receive anything like the amount of cards, letters and notes of appreciation and love that I have recently. It has been awesome!

Thank you all so very much.

Only too well do I understand the attachment so many of you had to Moonlight and to Mick, Beth, Josef and the gang but now that they have been laid to rest I can only hope you will all follow me into my next exciting adventure, whatever that may be.

We all fought so hard.
We all worked so hard.
I guess some things are simply out of our hands.

I look forward with great anticipation to giving you all the news of the next chapter in this crazy career of mine!!
And again, thanks for all the wonderful support.

Warmest regards

Alex O'loughlin. x o x”

Everyone here at MIA wishes Alex the best of luck with his continued career as he moves on to bigger and better things!

Meanwhile stay tuned for news on the Moonlight DVD Season 1 set!

While vampire shows have a hard time surviving on mainstream television, they often thrive on cable networks. So while we continue to mourn the loss of Moonlight on CBS, some good news is coming from HBO in the form of a new vampires series called “True Blood”. Based on the “Southern Vampires” series of novels from Charlaine Harris, and adapted for TV by Alan Ball, “True Blood” details the fictional co-existence of vampires and humans in a small Louisiana town after Japanese-made synthetic blood – "Tru Blood" – becomes available for purchase. Anna Paquin stars as Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress at a diner who falls in love with one of the vampires, Bill Compton (portrayed by Stephen Moyer). The series premieres September 7th, 2008 at PM ET.

I’ve seen an unfinished version of the pilot episode and would describe it as a cross between Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Dark Shadows. It seems inventive and well cast. I’ll be covering news and information about the series at http://true-blood.tv and hope many of you vampire lovers will join me. A forum for the series has been setup, as well, and is already full of lively discussion.

I continue to frequently receive email asking about the chances of Moonlight's renewal/pickup by other networks. While it has was unfortunate - but not surprising - that the show was initially canceled, the chances of another network picking it up were always remote due to the financial issues involved.

The Hollywood Reporter has posted a new article today, which includes the following;

"Sorry, fans. Sources close to the show said Monday that all those last-ditch efforts to bring "Moonlight" back from its final resting place have now concluded. The sets have been dismantled. The stage is being taken over by CBS' upcoming drama "The Mentalist." The billowy shirts are packed up. It's done."

Seat42 is, also, reporting on this and has added that "The cast has been let go to pursue other projects."

Fans should not continue clinging to false hopes or allow themselves to be strung along by unsubstantiated rumors spread by others in fandom. I love the show as much as everyone else but the fat lady has sung. It's time to enjoy the episodes already produced and come to terms with the reality of the situation. Never say never, because miracles do happen, but I'd rather accept this as closure and be pleasantly surprised later than cling to false hopes and be severely disappointed.

TV Guide's Matt Roush answers a Moonlight Fan's question in his Friday edition of Ask Matt:

"Question: As you can probably imagine, there's plenty of wailing and gnashing of teeth out here in Moonlight-land with CBS' list of 2008-'09 renewals published and no mention of Moonlight. The pickup of the four episodes for April gave us all cause for hope. Now we don't know what to think. What are your thoughts?— Lyn

Matt Roush: If Moonlight were really dead, CBS wouldn't have gone to the expense of putting the show back into production for just four more episodes. I'd take that as a sign to be cautiously optimistic that if the spring episodes show the same creative growth and fan momentum that Moonlight was exhibiting when the strike kicked in, then CBS will have little choice but to renew it. But I doubt we'll know for sure until the actual Upfronts in May."

Also, Kristin over at E! Online muses on the danger known as the "Death Slot" and includes Moonlight among the show that may be 'on the bubble' as far as renewal.

The Hollywood Reporter has indicated that Moonlight will finish it's 4 episode run without a show-runner:

"Executive producer Joel Silver and the writing team of CBS' "Moonlight" collectively will shepherd the four additional episodes of the freshman drama as showrunner/executive producer Chip Johannessen has exited.

The vampire drama is not expected to name a new showrunner for the four-episode order but will do so if the series is picked up for a second season."

TV Guide's Michael Ausiello is reporting on his blog that Chip Johanessen, Moonlight's show-runner, has been fired. The entry reads:

"More backstage drama at Moonlight — and the timing couldn't be worse. I'm told that Chip Johannessen has been let go as show-runner just as the freshman drama is fighting for a second season. The search is on for a replacement.

This is the second major regime change for the cult fave; over the summer Johannessen replaced David Greenwalt, who vacated his post for health reasons.

The behind-the-scenes upheaval may explain why Moonlight was conspicuously absent from CBS' litany of renewals last week. It's unclear what impact this will have on the four post-strike episodes that the network just commissioned, which are slated to begin airing on April 11. But rest assured, when I know you'll know."

The WGA has released a Press Release that reads, in part:

"On Tuesday, members of the Writers Guilds East and West voted by a 92.5% margin to lift the restraining order that was invoked on November 5th. The strike is over.

Writing can resume immediately. If you were employed when the strike began, you should plan to report to work on Wednesday."

Rumors are now beginning to swirl that, despite what has previously been stated by members of the press, Moonlight may go back into production for an additional 4 or 5 episodes to round out the season.

Both Variety and TV Guide's Michael Ausiello are reporting that new episodes could be produced. Hopefully, some official clarification will be forthcoming soon.

The writer's strike may be over very soon (no, it's NOT over yet, despite what you may hear elsewhere) and TV viewers are wondering where that leaves their favorite show. While nothing is written in stone, TV Guide's Michael Ausiello reports that Moonlight is not expected back before the Fall.

Elsewhere, Ausiello has this response to a viewer's question:

"Question: Just want to know what the buzz is concerning the return of Moonlight on CBS — there are all sorts of rumors that CBS won't be airing any more original episodes until this fall. — Connie

Ausiello: That's assuming it comes back in the fall. And that's a big assumption at this point. I spoke to a Moonlight insider late last week and he/she told me that before the strike, CBS informed producers that they had every intention of picking up the show's "back nine." But since the strike started, they haven't heard a peep about whether they'll be going back into production. My guess? Moonlight will be renewed for a 13-episode second season."

The March 2008 issue of Starlog, an American Sci-Fi magazine, features an interview with Alex O'Loughlin. The article, titled "The Inner Monster:, is approximately 4 pages, including pics. The issue number is 363. Alex talks about Moonlight, his favorite character on the show, his great chemistry with Sophia Myles, and his career so far. He, also, has this to say about vampires:

---
“I’ve always loved the idea of vampires and immortality,” the Australian O’Loughlin says during a rare break on the set. “I love The Lost Boys and Bram Stoker’s Dracula and the work of Anne Rice. I don’t know if I would want to be immortal, but the thought of the infinite excites me. It also haunts me, in a way. My father, who teaches physics and astronomy, has given me ideas about the expanse of the universe that have haunted me for years and made me get in touch with my own mortality.”
