thanks to that writer's strike, i learned to venture a little from my normal tv programming with some input from cyn and curiosity on a doctor who guest, i got to watch moonlight, and well now it's on my list downloads everyweek along with house, battlestar galactica, ncis, without a trace, doctor who and torchwood that recently had their season finale.
so since the show didn't start out with a bang but managed to get some people addicted, fears for the show's future began to fester on the web, but here's the latest.Moonlight: Writers Preparing for Season Two of CBS Vampire Drama
CBS has yet to renew the Friday night vampire series but that’s not stopping Moonlight executive producer Joel Silver and the show’s writers. They’re already plotting Moonlight’s second season.
While promoting the upcoming Speed Racer film, Silver talked about Moonlight’s prospects for a second year on CBS. He said, “We’re hopeful… I mean, the next episode goes on next Friday night [April 25th], which is a really great episode. It starts out, Mick [Alex O’Loughlin] is still human, but then he has to go back to being a vampire. And I have three more really strong episodes. And I hope that it does come back, because we have a whole plan for next year that’s fantastic.”
The network has been on the fence about renewing Moonlight though it seems like the chances are good. Silver says that he’s scheduled to meet with CBS programming executives to talk about the show’s future. “Well, we’re going to go in, as a matter of fact, next week for a pitch meeting to tell them what we’re going to do next year.”
Based on what the programmers hear and the performance of the new episodes, they’ll decide whether Mick St. John will return to walk the streets of Los Angeles next fall. CBS announces its 2008-09 schedule in mid-May. Stay tuned!

Sophia Myles has declared her confidence in a renewal for vampire series Moonlight.Myles said the return would be thanks to commitment of fans, who organised a national blood donation drive to show their support for a new season."I'd put pretty much all of the money I have in my bank account on the fact that we will get picked up," said the British-born actress, who plays Beth Turnew, the love interest of vampire Mick St John. "I think that's largely to do with the amount of fan support and dedication."Myles told Sci Fi Wire: "One of the biggest pleasures of working on this show is the fan base, because we have the most wonderful fans in the world."And it kind of makes it all worthwhile knowing that there's a whole bunch of people whose hearts you're moving every Friday night and you're giving them something to look forward to. And we view them as part of the extended Moonlight family, and there wouldn't be a show without them."
