About True Blood

Thanks to a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed overnight from legendary monsters to fellow citizens. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures "coming out of the coffin."

HBO's True Blood is a mystery, science fiction, and fantasy series. Its themes are whimsical, interspecies romance, exhilarated, and fairy.

Its 7 seasons and 80 episodes were broadcast from September 2008 to August 2014. Seasons run to about 11 episodes.

Anna Paquin stars as Sookie Stackhouse, Stephen Moyer as Bill Compton, Alexander Skarsgård as Eric Northman, and Sam Trammell as Sam Merlotte. The story is adapted from a novel. It comes from HBO and Your Face Goes Here Entertainment.

It streams on HBO Max, HBO Max Amazon Channel, and Hulu in the United States. The Vampire Diaries, A Discovery of Witches, and Kindred: The Embraced make useful companions to True Blood, all filed under vampire and werewolf. TMDB voters put it at 7.6 out of 10 across 2,175 votes and it carries a TV-MA rating.
