2nd Season of “Moonlight” Hopeful

Fans of the CBS vampire show “Moonlight” may have cause for hope that the show will get its second season. That hope comes in the guise of executive producer Joel Silver.

Silver, noted for producing such features as “The Matrix” and the upcoming “Speed Racer” film is so sure that CBS will greenlight the second season for “Moonlight” that he is already working on the development of the stories that will be featured upon its renewal.

“We’re hopeful, commented Silver at a promotional for ‘Speed Racer.’Racer. “I mean, the next episode goes on next Friday night, which is a really great episode. It starts out, Mick (played by 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…..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,” Silver said. “And then that, coupled with the ratings, we’ll know what happens.”

We’ll all know for sure next month if Silver’s optimism is well placed as CBS announces its new fall lineup in New York at their upfronts for advertisers.

The continuation of season one of “Moonlight” airs with al new episodes this Friday (April 25) at 8/7C.
