The creator ofMoonlightinghas taken to social media to raise speculation that a reboot of the 1980s comedy-drama may be in the works.Glenn Gordon Caronrevealed on Twitter that he’d met up with Disney and a big announcement was coming will be made on Wednesday.
Rumors about a potential reboot have been circulating for years with the idea facing numerous challenges. Fans of the show have long demanded a return ofMoonlighting, but to date, it has only remained as speculation and rumors… that is until now. “Disney and I have put our heads together and come up with a plan. Big announcement Wednesday!!!” Caron wroteon Twitter. The post was accompanied by an image ofCybill ShepherdandBruce Willis, who starred in the original series as private detectives Madolyn ‘Maddie’ Hayes and David Addison.
In aninterview with IndieWireback in 2017, Caron indicated he’d been approached aboutMoonlightingreturning to television, but was torn about whether or not he should. However, he also acknowledged he did have some ideas if it was to return. “Maybe you do it withChanning TatumandEmma Stone? Or for a moment I had this idea of doing it [again] with Bruce and Cybill,” Caron said. “I can’t tell you all the ideas I’ve had. But at the same time there’s a voice in my head that goes, ‘leave well enough alone.’ I have this debate with myself constantly.”

Moonlightingwas a comedy-drama series that ran from June 05, 2025 to August 10, 2025 on ABC. The series ran for a total of sixty-seven episodes, focusing on cases investigated by the Blue Moon Detective Agency run by a former high-fashion model (Shepherd) left bankrupt by her embezzling accountant and a detective of another agency at risk of going bankrupt (Willis). Shepherd and Willis are joined byAllyce Beasleyas receptionist Agnes DiPesto,Curtis Armstrongas junior detective Herbert Viola, andJack Blessingas MacGillicudy.
Caron credited the end of the series to ‘a bunch of things’ he had no control over, “There was a huge writers strike that went on for what seemed like forever. Cybill got pregnant with twins, so she wasn’t able to work for an extended period of time. And Bruce suddenly became a movie star… It wasn’t meant to be.” Caron also added that he regrets he didn’t allow ABC to continue merchandisingMoonlighting. “I thought that diminished the show. I look back on that and think, what a fool!” Perhaps the second time’s the charm.
A joint announcement by Disney and Caron is expected on Wednesday, October 5. Check out Caron’s tweet below:
