Loss of a Leader
Here’s some bad news regarding Moonlight: the show’s runner has just been let go. Michael Ausiello of TVguide.com
“I’m told that Chip Johannessen has been let go as show-runner just as the freshman drama is fighting for a second season.”
As Ausiello also states that Moonlight was missing from the list of shows released last week that CBS is renewing, I’m officially worried about the future of my favorite vampire show since Angel went off the air. I’m also wondering about what’s going to happen with the four new episodes that are supposed to go into production and begin airing on April 11. Will they still be produced if a replacement for Johannessen isn’t found soon?
Is anybody else worried about Moonlight? Does anybody have any suggestions on who should take over the show next?
Update: Ausiello updated his report about the firing of Johannessen today with this news
“Joel Silver, along with what’s left of the Moonlight writing team, will oversee production of the show’s four remaining episodes.”
I think it’s good news that somebody who has been involved with the show since the beginning is going to oversee the last four episodes of this season. Maybe Silver will even do well enough to take over the show for next season as well.
What do you guys think about this latest development?
