There’s an audio production company called Big Finish that may be interested in doing audio dramas of Moonlight, with the original cast. We’d get the voices of Alex, Sophia, et al recreating their characters for new Moonlight stories. These audio dramas are full-immersion experiences, with great supporting actors, effects, and music – the next best thing to the TV show itself.
Big Finish has a lot of experience in this medium. They’re best known for their Doctor Who stories, but have also done audio dramas for other TV shows such as Stargate and Highlander. They’re very good at re-assembling cast members, and they know Sophia personally because of her Doctor Who performance a couple of years ago. Since recording for audio does not take much of an actor’s time, it is certainly possible that they might be able to get the entire cast on board. Audio dramas can continue indefinitely, if the cast is interested in doing it and the audience keeps buying copies.
I wrote to Big Finish asking if they would consider doing Moonlight, and received this reply from producer Paul Spragg:
“I’ve passed on your comments and suggestion to the team, so we’ll see what happens. I’m not sure how big Moonlight is as regards turning it into audiobooks. I did interview Sophia Myles before the last four episodes went out and she was lovely, so who knows? Perhaps we could convince her.”
The reply is encouraging, but they’re definitely unsure if the potential audience is big enough for them to take on the project. They’re open to fan input, so if anyone is interested in this, please send a request to enquiries@bigfinish.com.
