True Blood Cast: Where Are They Now? Anna Paquin and More

True Blood hooked fans in with its dark depiction of vampire life in Bon Temps, Louisiana, and its pull is still felt by many of the show’s fans today.

From 2008 to 2014, viewers tuned in to see telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) attempt to bridge the gap between the town’s residents and vampire population. She proved that humans could live with supernatural beings based on her continued friendship with Tara (Rutina Wesley) after she turned — and through her own vampire love triangle.

As Sookie juggled Civil War vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and his longtime foe Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard), her police officer brother, Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten), found himself getting into trouble for his “fangbanger” reputation.

The series, which lasted seven seasons on HBO, was based on the best-selling Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. HBO confirmed in February 2021 that a reboot was in development with Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and NOS4A2 creator Jami O’Brien cowriting. The project was ultimately axed in 2023.
