FALL 2013 UPDATE: HBO'S 'TRUE BLOOD' CANCELLED
Is True Blood reaching its end?
True Blood wrapped up its sixth season last Sunday night, and while viewership on the HBO vamp fest has steadily decreased in the past couple of years, the drama raked in pretty decent ratings for the finale. Not even a week has passed and discussions of the show's future are set to begin, specifically after the next season.
In the next couple of weeks, showrunner Brian Buckner will find out through discussions with the show's writers if there is material to warrant a continuation past Season 7. These eyebrow raising questions aren't necessarily surprising given the mixed reviews of the last season, declining quality being the biggest concern. Are viewers becoming bored with the supernatural world of Sookie Stackhouse? So far, viewers are split between continuing the show and ending the show on a high note. We'll see what news the next few weeks will bring...Stay Tuned!
UPDATE 9/3/13
Well it's official, HBO has announced today that True Blood's next season will be its last. There has been no set date for the show's last episode but the seventh season isn't set to premiere until Summer 2014. Now that the swan season has been determined, it gives writers plenty of time to plot the end of Sookie Stackhouse.
FALL 2013: 'TRUE BLOOD'S STEPHEN MOYER CAST IN NBC'S 'THE SOUND OF MUSIC'
