Based on the novels by Charlaine Harris and created by Alan Ball, HBO’s vampire/werewolf/were-panther/you-name-it series “True Blood” aired between 2008 and 2014, officially coming to an end after seven seasons and 80 episodes. But since successful television shows are never really dead anymore, it seems HBO is already rebooting the series.
THR reports today that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (“Riverdale,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) is behind the reboot, with Alan Ball reportedly on board as executive producer.
The reboot is said to be in the very early stages of development.
The original series starred Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress whose life is forever changed when she meets and falls in love with Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a vampire.
The series was set in a world wherein vampires and other monsters openly exist, with some of the vampires drinking the synthetic blood beverage known as “True Blood.”
Sookie’s relationship with Bill opens up a whole new world of monsters and madmen, dragging her family and friends into the supernatural insanity along with her.
The ensemble cast also included Ryan Kwanten as Jason Stackhouse, Sam Trammell as Sam Merlotte, Alexander Skarsgård as Eric Northman, Deborah Ann Woll as Jessica Hamby, and the late Nelsan Ellis as scene-stealing, fan-favorite character Lafayette Reynolds.
