True Blood - Season 5
HBO hat soeben bekannt gegeben, dass das Vampir-Drama True Blood um eine fünfte Staffel mit 12 neuen Episoden verlängert wurde.
Die vierte Staffel beschert dem Sender aktuell Top-Quoten, daher kommt die Verlängerung nicht überraschend, zumal die Quoten bereits an den Drehbüchern für die kommende Staffel arbeiten, was andeutet, dass sie von HBOs Vorhaben bereits wussten. Die neuen Folgen werden vorraussichtlich nächsten Juli, also wie gewohnt, an den Start gehen.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11, 2011 – HBO has renewed the hit show TRUE BLOOD for a 12-episode fifth season, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming. Created by Alan Ball, the series will begin production of new episodes later this year in Los Angeles, with debut set for summer 2012. “I am thrilled that TRUE BLOOD continues to enjoy a phenomenal reception from both subscribers and critics,” noted Lombardo. “Alan Ball and his gifted team have devised the greatest thrill ride on TV.”
“I remain amazed and delighted by the enthusiasm of our viewers,” says Ball. “I can’t imagine having more fun than this.”
Mixing romance, suspense, mystery and humor, the Emmy-nominated show takes place at a time when vampires have come out of the coffin, and follows the on-and-off romance between waitress and part-faerie Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), who can hear people’s thoughts, and 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer). Series creator Alan Ball is also an executive producer of the show, which is based on the bestselling Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris.

"I think there should be visuals on a show, some sense of mystery to it, connections that don't add up. I think there should be dreams and music and dead air and stuff that goes nowhere. There should be, God forgive me, a little bit of poetry." - David Chase
