Long live Mick St. John! Not that he has much choice. A reluctant vampire turned L.A. private eye—"If I can help others it might make up for what I am"—Mick (Alex O'Loughlin) is the tormented soul of CBS's revisionist first-year supernatural drama Moonlight. Join him and the rest of the show's cast and creative team for a screening and discussion, and see what really happens when vampires come out at night.

In Person: Joel Silver, Executive Producer; Alex O'Loughlin, "Mick St. John"; Sophia Myles, "Beth Turner"; Jason Dohring, "Josef Konstantin"; Shannyn Sossamon, "Coraline"

Moonlight To Finish Season Without Show-Runner

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."

Moonlight's Show-Runner Let Go?

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."
