Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 23:45:34 +0000

Prior seasons of HBO's 'True Blood' have shifted the supernatural focus to everything from werewolves to witches, but like its previous year 'True Blood' season 6 seems to belong to the vampire.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:21:01 +0000

With its spring lineup of 'Game of Thrones,' 'Veep' and 'Family Tree' about to bloom, HBO hasn't showcased much in the way of 'True Blood's sixth season to air this June.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 01:40:08 +0000

Just when you think AMC has the market cornered on show-runner drama, HBO injects some new blood into 'True Blood.' Following series creator Alan Ball's departure from the series after its fifth season, it seems Ball's replacement Mark Hudis is similarly being replaced, prior to wrapping on season 6. Longtime 'True Blood' presence Brian Buckner will take the reigns going forward, but is there trouble in 'True Blood's future?

Jacob Hall — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 02:38:38 +0000

Let's face it: no one cuts trailers quite like HBO. In an age where we've seemingly forgotten that trailers and TV spots are advertisements because they're put together so artfully, HBO continues to be leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. Thankfully, their content tends to live up to the marketing. Their newly released Winter Preview promo (which you can watch below) reminds us why they're worth the subscription cost.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 23:45:43 +0000

Don't worry, it isn't the first sign of an impending 'True Blood' / 'The Walking Dead' cross-over that HBO hasn't returned our calls about (but looks amazing sketched inside our Lisa Frank notebook).

'True Blood' Season 6: Robert Patrick Joins as Series Regular

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 17:00:11 +0000

Sure, we were sad to hear that ABC opted not to renew 'Last Resort,' which maintained relatively meager rating in its initial run despite being recieved as one of the better offerings of the season. But one good show's loss is another of our favorite's gain, as the cancellation frees up series star Robert Patrick to join 'True Blood' full time! The one-time 'Terminator 2' star will return to Bon Temps as Jackson Herveaux, father to Alcide and newly minted series regular, but does that mean the werewolves will have a bigger story?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 20:30:06 +0000

While many of us were disheartened to learn that 'True Blood' creator Alan Ball would be stepping down as showrunner for the sixth season of HBO's bloody drama, the news was tempered by the fact that Ball would swiftly return to TV to helm Cinemax's pulpy thriller 'Banshee.' The network kept the project pretty secretive at first, but how would you like to see the first trailer? Is it every bit as bloody, sexy and action-packed as its spiritual predecessor?

'Arrow' Casts 'True Blood' Star Janina Gavankar

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:00:34 +0000

Just because 'Arrow' mostly gets our attention when it recruits characters from the DC universe to appear in the fledgling CW series, it doesn't mean the show hasn't made some cool original castings on its own. The latest fan-favorite star to take a turn on the DC superhero drama is 'True Blood's own Janina Gavankar, but whom will she be playing? Does she have connections to any of the other DC characters, and what does it mean for her role on 'True Blood?'

We've seen the same old story a hundred different times, whether it's a young woman torn between her love for two brooding vampires, or a vampire and a werewolf, or, in 'True Blood's' case, all three. But we've got to hand it to the writers of 'True Blood' season 6 for making the old dog do some new tricks.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 23:00:02 +0000

Fans of 'True Blood and 'How I Met Your Mother' know doubt recognize that the chiseled Joe Manganiello guested in early season before making a bigger name for himself on the sexy HBO drama as Alcide Herveaux. We were excited to hear that Manganiello would reprise his role as Marshall's law school chum Brad, but that was before we got a load of the first picture from his November 5 appearance in "Splitsville!" Has the buff star finally let himself go?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 15:14:11 +0000

Yesterday we were surprised by the incredible casting that saw 'Blade Runner' vet Rutger Hauer joining the sixth season of 'True Blood' in a mysterious new regular role, especially considering 'True Blood' season 6 won't arrive until soemtime in June 2013. But Hauer's isn't the only 'True Blood' casting buzzing about, as a few other roles yet to be filled have us seriously worried about the vampire-human conflict.

'True Blood' season 5 has been in the ground for a few months now, leaving us with quite a terrific cliffhanger to salivate over, which only fuels our bloodlust for the coming season.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 02:00:33 +0000

For as many out there who don't enjoy HBO's 'True Blood,' there's no denying it appeals to men and women alike with its bloody bevy of beautiful bodies. One particular coupling that had been long in the making was that of Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganiello), though the story seemed to make an abrupt swerve just as the pair first hooked up.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:44:27 +0000

'True Blood' season 5 is barely dead in the ground following last week's gripping season finale "Save Yourself," but already speculation has run rampant on the next season. Behind the cameras, we know that longtime show-runner Alan Ball will depart the series for his new Cinemax venture 'Banshee,' leaving the 'True Blood' reigns to writer Mark Hudis, who already has gallons of story to spill. Brace yourselves though, as 'True Blood' season 6 might feel a bit lighter than we're all used to, but why?
