Moonlight is an American supernatural television drama created by Ron Koslow and Trevor Munson, who also serve as executive producers alongside Joel Silver, Gerard Bocaccio and Rod Holcomb.[1] The show is a paranormal romance series that follows a private investigator, Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin), whose bride, Coraline (Shannyn Sossamon), turned him into a vampire on the couple's wedding night 55 years prior; he struggles in the present day with his love for a mortal woman, Beth Turner (Sophia Myles), and his dealings with other vampires in the city.

Produced by Warner Bros. Television and Silver Pictures, the series premiered on September 28, 2007, airing on Friday nights at 9:00/8:00c on CBS, following Ghost Whisperer.[2]CTV began airing the show in Canada in simulcast with the American broadcast. Channel Nine in Australia started airing the series on December 12, 2007.

On November 6, 2007, The New York Post reported that only eleven of the planned twelve episodes will be completed, due to a strike by the Writers Guild of America.[3] This seems to be in error however, as the show is now scheduled for 12 full episodes.

Les Moonves, President of CBS, speaking on December 4, 2007, stated that Moonlight is likely to return for a second season (2008-2009).[4]
