From 2008 to 2014, Fantasy horror drama True Blood was released for seven seasons. This HBO show was created by Alan Ball and produced by Your Face Goes Here Entertainment. Adapted from Charlaine Harris novel series titled The Southern Vampire Mysteries, this show was yet another addition to the world of greatest vampire related series and films ever created. The story revolves around Sookie, a girl from Louisiana with the special powers to read people’s minds, and how her life is completely changed when her town is made home for vampires. Considering the show’s above average success, HBO has now started working on a reboot of True Blood, but uncertainty lies in its future as they have stated that this reboot will only be made official if the story is “worth telling”.
Why Casey Bloys is determined to have things pan out a certain way
Casey Bloys, Chief of Content at HBO Max said in a recent interview with TV Line that although they have an idea and a writer working on that idea, it is far from airing next year or even as progressed in development as the new Game of Thrones spin-off. Recently, Bloys had announced that none of the original cast members will be returning and actress Anna Paquin agreed, saying that some things should have their own story to tell. Bloys would want to create another original story rather than milk the first one and let its glory be untouched. Believing the reboot has plenty of potential on its own, he is confident of newer creations.
