Damn it... well this isn't good...

Chip Johannessen Leaves Moonlight
Thursday, 21 February 2008

Moonlight is without showrunner once again, according to Michael Ausiello of TV Guide. Johannessen took over the position of showrunner after David Greenwalt, co-creater of Angel left after working on only two episodes. According to the article below, the search is on for a third showrunner. Johannessen also wrote one of the show's most popular episodes, "Arrested Development."

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.

hehe

I'm positive, being the show as good as it is, we'll get another season

[genpop40]

^^Being good doesn't get you another season, unfortunately. Good shows get cancelled all the time. But I do feel that Moonlight will be renewed. Did you guys read what I posted in Spoilers about this. Kristin says they are probably getting another season. I know she's an idiot, but good news is good news.

LOL! She is an idiot, but she is right sometimes, I think we are going to get another season for sure!
