Moonlight

Fans of Moonlight have tirelessly showed their support to the cult series.  Despite their noble efforts to shed their own blood, CBS has decided to put a stake on the show and officially end its chances at a sophomore season.  But this hasn't stopped fans from campaigning, hoping to prove that vampires can survive virtually anything, including the capricious whims of network executives.  Now, fans are eyeing the Sci Fi Channel as a possible solution to bring back their beloved series to life.

According to Harry Werksman, one of Moonlight's executive producers, the Sci-Fi channel is indeed interested in picking Moonlight up.  If the series does get picked up by Sci Fi, Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin), will reportedly be transplanted to New York City, where Sci Fi is based.  However, talks are still ongoing, and nothing has been determined as of yet.

This glimmer of hope surfaced after CBS entertainment chief Nina Tassler refuted the possibility that The CW might be acquiring the series as part of its Sunday-night block.

"Probably not, no," Tassler said in response to a question about the rumored move.  "It had a very passionate fan base, and that's a good thing.  We just had to make a lot of tough calls."

Meanwhile, fans looking to convince Sci Fi to pick up Moonlight have already started to send emails and postcards to the network.

Prior to the news of the possible move to Sci Fi, a rally outside the Warner Bros. gate was also scheduled during the Memorial Day weekend.  Additionally, an advertisement was purchased to run in both The Hollywood Reporter on May 21 and in Variety on May 22, in an effort to “thank the cast, crew and all those who made Moonlight possible and to demonstrate to potential networks the depth of the fans loyalty to Moonlight".
