The planned TrueBlood reboot, which has been in development since 2020, will not be moving forward at HBO Max.
HBO has canceled the reboot of True Blood, TV Line has reported. The series was in development since December 2020 with Riverdale creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa attached as executive producer and co-writing the script with Jami O’Brien. Furthermore, Alan Ball, who created the original True Blood was set to return as executive producer. Per HBO and HBO Max CEO Casey Bloys, the series is dead because “nothing… felt like it got there.
In February 2021, Bloys noted that there was “no green light imminent on” the reboot though the series had “a writer working on an idea for sure, but I think that it’s fair to say it’s not quite as far along as people think. It’s [not] coming on the air next year. It’s a long way away from that.” Further adding, “We’ll have to see how it comes together. Like with any development, you want to see [if] it [is] a story worth telling. Is it engaging? Does it add to the original? And we’ll see.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The original fantasy drama was a smashing hit for the network enjoying a seven-season long run. Based on The Southern Vampire Mysteries, a series of novels by Charlaine Harris, the original series followed Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress, who falls in love with a 174-year-old vampire Bill Compton.
