Moonlight star will be back!

Well CBS did listen to those clamoring for Moonlight's return to TV.

Somewhat.

Alex O' Loughlin, Moonlight's lead actor, is coming back. Only not as a vampire. That show remains dead. He's starring in a yet unnamed TV show.

According to THR:

The Australian actor has signed a talent holding deal with the network, sister studio CBS Paramount TV and ABC Studios.

Under the one-year pact, O'Loughlin will star in a new series project for CBS that will be developed by top TV producer Mark Gordon, whose ABC Studio-based company is behind such series as ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," Lifetime's "Army Wives" and CBS' "Criminal Minds."

Any guesses to what the new show will be?
