We first heard that HBO was planning a reboot of its popular vampire drama series, True Blood, back in 2020, and updates have been practically non-existent since. Now, reports are coming in that the revival has been officially staked.

In fact, According to Variety, the project never fully got off the ground in the first place.

HBO and HBO Max content CEO Casey Bloys tells the trade that, although some scripts had been written, nothing ever really came together and the reboot was only ever in the early stages of development.

While this iteration of a True Blood reboot now appears to have been shown a cross, it sounds like HBO hasn't completely closed the coffin on a future attempt to resurrect the series.

The original True Blood ran for seven seasons between 2008 and 2014, and was wildly popular... until it wasn't. The first few seasons were critically-acclaimed and drew huge viewing numbers, but most fans would agree that the show took a steep dip in quality heading into its fourth run.

What do you guys make of this news? Were you looking forward to a True Blood reboot, or are you happy to hear that it's now resting in peace?

As a reboot? Screw that. Now, if it were a continuation or a spin-off I would have been interested in checking it out.
