Altho season 3 only just got started and a new season won’t even begin production until next year, HBO has announced that they have officially picked up True Blood for a 4th season. I’m sure there may be a small contingent of y’all out there worried that the show might not get picked up (er, yeah right) so this news should put those fears to rest:
As “True Blood” fans know, waiting sucks. But at least HBO isn’t making fans wait to find out if their favorite vampire soap opera will be back for a fourth season. On Monday (June 21), HBO announced that “True Blood” has been renewed for a 12-episode fourth season, set to begin production early next year and premiere in the summer of 2011. “The new season of ‘True Blood’ is off to a terrific start, as enthusiasm for this unique show continues to build among both subscribers and critics,” says HBO Programming President Michael Lombardo. “We’re looking forward to more chills from Alan Ball and his gifted team next year.” The third “True Blood” season premiered on June 13 and drew 5.1 million viewers for its first airing, not quite a record for the bloodsucking series, but up 38 percent from last summer’s season premiere. “I am beyond thrilled to be able to continue working with this amazing cast and crew,” states Alan Ball, who developed the series from Charlaine Harris’ novel series. “This is the most fun I have ever had.”
Well thank Jebus that is settled … I was only kinda sorta worried that HBO would decide not to renew its outrageously popular series for another season. Yeah, not really. I am fully expecting True Blood to last at least another 3 seasons … probably more. I understand the books have a lot of plots that can be developed for TV and, who knows, there may come a time where the show branches off into new, unwritten territory. True Blood seems like the kind of show that still has a lot to offer. I’m so happy that we have an assurance of at least one more season of butt-baring fun :D
