New showrunner for Moonlight
The CBS freshman drama Moonlight has had its share of difficulties. Add to it one more as the showrunner and executive producer Chip Johannessen has decided to depart the series.The show's writing team and executive producer Joel Silver will collectively run the show until a replacement for Mr. Johannessen has been found. Four additional episodes of the show have been ordered for this season.
Moonlight has shown some promise for CBS and was kept on the air during the writer's strike. The premise involves a vampire detective who falls for a mortal woman.
Despite behind-the-scenes drama, CBS president Les Moonves has stated the show will likely be picked up for a second season. I suppose that's a good thing, but I remember this show when it was called Angel. I'm not the first person to notice this. The creators obviously did when they hired Angel co-creator David Greenwalt to run the show and he subsequently left it.
