HBO Renews TRUE BLOOD For 7th Season

TV HBOTrue Blood by Joey Paur

HBO has officially announced that they have renewed True Blood for a seventh season. The seventh season is scheduled to debut in the summer of 2014, and executive producer Brian Buckner is returning as showrunner. The news comes from Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming, who says,

"'True Blood' remains a signature show for HBO, and a true phenomenon with our viewers. Thanks to Brian Buckner and his talented team, the show continues to be a thrill ride like nothing else on TV."

I've been enjoying the sixth season. It's crazy how much this show has changed and evolved since it first started. It's almost a completely different show. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing how the current season turns out before I get too excited about season 7. I'm happy it's not ending yet, though!

How do you feel about where season 6 is heading and the fact HBO has greenlit a seventh season? 

Mixing romance, suspense, mystery and humor, the show takes place in a world where vampires and humans co-exist, after vampires have come out of the coffin, thanks to the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood that means they no longer need humans as a nutritional source. The series follows waitress and part-faerie Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), who can hear people's thoughts, vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård). Alan Ball (creator of the Emmy-winning HBO series "Six Feet Under") created the show, which is based on the bestselling Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris.
The sixth season of "True Blood," which launched June 26, is already exceeding ten million viewers per episode.
