Why True Blood Needs a Spin-off Rather Than a Reboot

While the True Blood reboot was first announced some time ago, it has not yet been fully confirmed as the studio is allegedly still chasing suitable ideas. HBO’s content chief Casey Bloys tells TV Line they want to make sure there’s a story worth telling that adds to the original. Considering that at the time, despite a shaky start, True Blood had become the network’s most popular show since The Sopranos and Sex and the City by the end of its first season, the stakes are exceptionally high. All the more after the disappointing series finale that triggered a huge uproar among long-time fans.
