We first heard that HBO was planning a reboot of its popular vampire drama series, True Blood, back in 2020, and updates have been few and far between since. Now, reports are coming in that the revival has been officially staked.
In fact, According to Variety, the project never fully got off the ground in the first place.
HBO and HBO Max content CEO Casey Bloys tells the trade that, although some scripts had been written and a certain amount of progress had been made, nothing ever really came together and the reboot was only ever in the early stages of development.
While this iteration of a True Blood reboot now appears to have been shown a cross, it sounds like HBO hasn't completely closed the coffin on a future attempt to resurrect the series.
The original True Blood ran for seven seasons between 2008 and 2014, and was wildly popular... until it wasn't. The first few seasons were critically-acclaimed and drew huge viewing numbers, but most fans would agree that the show took a steep dip in quality heading into its fourth run.
