What is True Blood about?

Thanks to the invention of a synthetic blood substitute, vampires are finally able to live among humans. Not all vampires, however, believe integration is possible, wedging a divide between those who want to assimilate and those who believe it’s a lost cause. Humans, too, are at odds about their new supernatural neighbours; some even believe vampires should be killed.

Of course, the advent of human-vampire interaction also means inter-creature love is in the air, which is exactly what happens to human-faerie hybrid Sookie Stackhouse, a Bon Temps, Louisiana waitress who falls in love with a 175-year-old vampire named William Compton.

In series one, Bon Temps, still struggling with integration, is rocked by a series of murders. All seem connected to Sookie’s brother, Jason, but she is convinced of his innocence and seeks to find the true killer.

Subsequent seasons introduce new mysteries — and new mythological creatures — to Bon Temps, all set against the complex, evolving conflict between human and supernatural factions.

Where is True Blood set?

Is True Blood based on a book?

Yes! True Blood is based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris, also known as The Southern Vampire Mysteries, which are comprised of 13 main instalments.

Much of the series’ humour can be credited to Harris, who told Mystery Scene: “Vampires can also be pretty funny… I try to find the humour in every situation. It’s pretty much how I cope.”

Who wrote True Blood?

No doubt Harris’ dark humour appealed to series creator Alan Ball, who also created Six Feet Under. Ball served as the showrunner for five seasons before handing the reins to Brian Buckner for the final two.

Notably, the latter two seasons received a more tepid critical response than what came before, so it could be that Ball had a better understanding of how to make the show work.

Where is True Blood filmed?

True Blood was filmed primarily in California and Louisiana. Some interiors, including Merlotte’s, where Sookie works, were filmed in a Hollywood studio. Many exteriors, however, were shot on location in Louisiana, including Bill Compton’s house, which is actually Louisiana’s Roseneath Plantation.

For Maryann’s house, however, the team used a Pasadena, California home. The exteriors for Sookie’s house were also filmed in California—the interiors were filmed in the same studio as Merlotte’s.
