Months before HBO’s True Blood begins its fifth season comes a report at Forbes that Alan Ball, writer and showrunner, is stepping down from the hit vampire series. Head inside to find out why…
We’re going on a small news break here, but Forbes is saying that Ball is basically exhausted with the show.
“Explanations include exhaustion, and maybe that the show seemed like it had tired blood last season. Ball will still be with the show, Im told, but a new regime will guide the fates of the characters into their new season.”
Will the show be reinvigorated? Does it need this kick in the ass to transcend what some considered a sloppy season four?
An official announcement is likely forthcoming, so we’ll update this spot if any updates come in.
True Blood season five, meanwhile, begins this summer.
