David Greenwalt, co-creator and co-producer of
Angel, is getting another chance at running the afterlife with
Moonlight, according to
the Hollywood Reporter. Greenwalt will serve as executive producer/showrunner for the new series, which is strongly reminiscnet of the old one. A vampire detective, accompanied and harried by undead friends (including the lovely and bewitching vampire who sired him), makes his way in the human world and falls n love with a mortal. The
Angel fans are sighing with annoyance; the
Forever Knight fans are beating their heads into their keyboards. The
Blood Ties fans are welcome to chime in any time. The pilot has been picked up for CBS's fal schedule, though it's going through some changes, including a recast of the leading lady.
Greenwalt has a good track record with genre shows. Besides
Angel, he also worked on
Buffy,
Jake 2.0, and
Eureka.
