True Blood

Original showrunner Alan Ball is set to return as executive producer.

These ladies are serving up food with a side of sarcasm.

Few would argue that HBO's 'True Blood' has been limping to the finish with its final season, but the last bit of blood will finally drop on August 24 with series finale installment "Thank You." To wit, HBO has released their spoilery synopsis for the finale, along with a brand new look at this Sunday's penultimate installment, "Love is to Die."

After six seasons, we're now in the midst of 'True Blood''s final outing, bringing the epic (and ridiculous and 'Twilight'-y at times) love story of Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) to an end. We've lost many memorable characters along the way, from the villainous Russell Edgington to the Vampire Authority to Sookie's own gram. Now, we honor those we lost with a supercut of the most noteworthy and, yeah, straight-up ridiculous deaths from the first six seasons of 'True Blood.'

[You're hereby warned of major spoilers from last night's 'True Blood' season 7 installment "Fire in the Hole," as well as a few episodes beyond.] Once 'True Blood' season 7's premiere "Jesus Gonna Be Here" killed off a main character before the opening credits, it was safe to say that no one was...well, safe in the show's final year. Last night's "Fire in the Hole" pulled off a few unexpected surprises of its own, but none so much as what befell Joe Manganiello's werewolf character Alcide Herveaux, so what does Manganiello himself have to say of the development?

This Sunday will see HBO's 'True Blood' beginning its final bleed with season 7 premiere "Jesus Gonna Be Here," but you didn't think you'd have to wait that long for the first taste, right? Check out our first bloodthirsty new clip from the final season, along with a fresh batch of spoilery synopses, and even news of a potential 'True Blood' musical!

Sad as we are to have the final season of HBO's 'True Blood' upon us, the June 22 return to America's favorite fang-banging drama can't come fast enough. We've already seen the first full trailer for Sookie's latest vampire drama, but the latest morsel offers our best look yet at the all-out war between humans, vampires and the deadly H-vamps complicating the final run.

Sure, 'Game of Thrones' season 4 got all the attention Sunday night, at least enough for HBO to show off its summer premiere, 'The Leftovers,' with a first trailer, but what about the seventh and final season of HBO's fangbanging hit 'True Blood'? See the Stackhouse future in our first real look at 'True Blood' season 7, buried in HBO's latest spring 2014 trailer!

True Blood' season 6 naturally thinned the herd a bit, moving into a seventh and final run that reset the focus on smaller Bon Temps vampire stories, though it seems the cast has suffered an unexpected loss. Late season 6 arrival Luke Grimes had his suave vampire character James upgraded to series regular for the final year, but will now be recast.

Popular drama 'True Blood' will conclude its run next year, HBO said on Tuesday.

'True Blood' season 7 has been extensively revealed to scale back its storytelling next year by keeping the Bon Temps characters together against one threat, but season 6 finale "Radioactive" guaranteed the population would need some new blood. Among the first to sign on as a new series regular will be Amelia Rose Blaire, aka the Governor's daughter, Willa Burrell!

Rutina Wesley, who plays human-turned-vampire Tara on HBO's 'True Blood,' has filed for divorce from her husband of eight years, Jacob Fishel. And to stop him from sucking her dry, she is asking a judge to deny any requests from Fishel for spousal support.
