According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS is cancelling Moonlight. CBS’s reasoning was that the show, which was drawing passionate fans, was “failing to hold its Ghost Whisperer lead-in and declined in the ratings post-strike.” Last week’s episode brought in a 2.0 rating among adults 18 to 49.
Commenting on the commitment of fans to the show, THR noted a blood drive organized by fans, the Red Cross, and YouChoose.net, in which 3000 series of the faithful pledged to donate blood.
Our review of apparently the series finale episode of the vampire detective love story is here.
Correction: last week’s was the penultimate episode. The final episode airs this Friday, 16 May.
