If you were hoping that “Moonlight” would at least try to wrap up some of its stories for the end of its first season then you’re going to be disappointed because according to show star Jason Dohring, despite not having a pickup for a second year the series will be ending with a cliffhanger destined to have fans screaming for more. And during the run up to the finale, “Moonlight” will focus more on the vampire mythology that has thus far been more of a backdrop to ths show and also bring all the characters together for a common purpose: survival. “You’ll see a lot more of the vampire mythology coming up, but in the final show, you’ll see us all kind of meet,” Dohring told SciFi Wire. “We have, like, a vampire conference. It’s really cool. And we each kind of have our place. “We all get together ...

There won’t be any official word on the fate of the vampire drama until next month, but show star Sophia Myles believes the chances of renewal are good.

This story contains MODERATE SPOILERS for upcoming episodes of "Moonlight." According to Alex O'Loughlin, who plays vampire Mick St. John on the CBS series "Moonlight," there are major developments in store for the final three episodes of the season.

And the case is awesome," O'Loughlin told SciFi Wire. He also said that the 15th episode "is probably my favorite of this installation of four." "It's a story where basically Mick thinks he has found his son, who is, in fact, twice his age," he said. "I mean, Mick's really 90. But this guy's like ...

The following contains MAJOR SPOILERS for "Fated To Pretend," the thirteenth episode of the CBS series "Moonlight."

This story contains MINOR SPOILERS for remaining episodes of the first season of "Moonlight" on CBS. If and when CBS decides to bring "Moonlight" back for a second season, the network will have to make sure there is much more stability in the showrunner's office. Executive Producer Joel Silver is the third person to take on showrunner duties for "Moonlight" this season which resumes with new episodes on Friday, and he's only doing it temporary meaning when the second season starts next fall -- if it starts at all -- the show will have its fourth showrunner. But as David Greenwalt and Chip Johannessen made their stints on the show brief, "Moonlight" itself is pretty much staying on course in terms of story and direction, said Jason Dohring, who plays the old vampire Josef Konstantin ...

While there is no official word on the status of "Moonlight," writers for the vampire detective series are working on stories for a second season. "We're hopeful," executive producer Joel Silver told SciFi Wire. "We're going to go in, as a matter of fact, next week for a pitch meeting to tell [CBS] what we're going to do next year. And then that, coupled with the ratings, we'll know what happens." According to Silver, the new episode of "Moonlight" which airs this Friday night, "is a really great episode. It starts out, Mick [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" in subsequent weeks. CBS will announce its fall lineup in May at its annual upfront presentation in New York. While the ratings ...

"Jericho" fans lost their show ... at least for now ... but will fans of "Moonlight" have to suffer through a similar fate? Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment, says both of its genre shows are on two different paths. "One thing 'Moonlight' has going for it is it wins its time period," Tassler told The Hollywood Reporter. "Unlike 'Jericho,' 'Moonlight' is not serialized." The question came up as fans wondered if CBS would continue to give series that might not be getting the strongest ratings a chance to continue. The network had revived "Jericho" after canceling it at the end of the 2006-07 season, but then canceled the show against last month when viewership levels dropped below its previous lows. "Moonlight" made the schedule as a presentation rather than a production ...
