"True Blood" Season 5 returns to HBO in 2012.
Thanks to a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight on HBO's "True Blood." And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures "coming out of the coffin." Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides, but in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps on "True Blood," the jury
is still out.
Local waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), however, knows how it feels to be an outcast on "True Blood." "Cursed" with the ability to listen in on people's thoughts, she's also open-minded about the integration of vampires — particularly when it comes to Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill's arrival in Bon Temps on "True Blood," that tolerance will be put to the test.
A sexy, scary new drama from "Six Feet Under" creator Alan Ball, "True Blood" delves into the meticulously-crafted world of novelist Charlaine Harris. Described by the Emmy-winning Ball as "popcorn for smart people" and featuring a colorful cast of local misfits, "True Blood" promises an intense ride.
