[edit]Development history
Series creatorAlan Ballhad previously worked with premium cable channelHBOonSix Feet Under, which
ran five seasons. In October 2005, afterSix Feet Under'sfinale, Ball signed a two-year agreement with HBO to
develop and produce original programming for the network.True Bloodbecame the first project under the deal,
after Ball became acquainted withCharlaine Harris'sSouthern Vampire Mysterybooks.[5]One day, while early
for a dental appointment, Ball was browsing throughBarnes and Nobleand came acrossDead Until Dark, the
first installment in Harris's series. Enjoying it, he read the following entries and became interested in "bringing
[Harris's] vision to television".[5][6]However, Harris already had two other adaptation options for the books. He
said she chose to work with him, though, because "[Ball] really got me. Thats how he convinced me to go
with him. I just felt that he understood what I was doing with the books.
The project's hour-longpilotwas ordered concurrently with the finalization of the aforementioned development
deal and was written, directed and produced by Ball.
[1][5]
Cast members Paquin, Kwanten and Trammell wereannounced in February 2007 and Moyer later on in April.[7][8]The pilot was shot in the early summer of 2007
and was officially ordered to series inAugust, at which point Ball had already written several more
episodes.[1]Production on the series began later that fall,[9]withBrook Kerr, who portrayed Tara Thornton in
the original pilot, being replaced byRutina Wesley.[10]Two more episodes of the series had been filmed before
the2007-08 Writers Guild of America strikeshut down production of the 12-episode first season until
2008.[11]That September, after only the first two episodes of the series had aired, HBO placed an order for a
second season of twelve episodes of the show, with production scheduled to commence in January 2009 for a
summer premiere.[12]
[edit]Opening title sequence
True Blood's Emmy-nominated title sequence was created by Digital Kitchen, a production studio that was also
responsible for creating the title sequence ofSix Feet Under. The sequence, which is primarily composed of
portrayals of the show's deep South setting, is played to "Bad Things" byJace Everett.[13]

Digital Kitchen wished to explore themes of redemption and forgiveness in the opening title sequence.
Conceptually, Digital Kitchen elected to construct the sequence around the idea of "the whore in the house of
prayer"
[14]
by intermingling contradictory images of sex, violence and religion and displaying them from thepoint of view of "asupernatural, predatory creature observing human beings from the shadows ..."[13]Digital
Kitchen also wished to explore ideas of redemption and forgiveness, and thus arranged for the sequence to
progress from morning to night and to culminate in abaptism.[14]
Most of the footage used in the sequence was filmed on location by Digital Kitchen. Crew members took a four-
day trip toLouisianato film and also shot at aChicagochurch and on a stage and in a bar
inSeattle.[14]Additionally, several Digital Kitchen crew members made cameo appearances in the sequence.
In editing the opening, Digital Kitchen wanted to express how "religious fanaticism" and "sexual energy" could
corrupt humans and make them animalistic. Accordingly, several frames of some shots were cut to give
movements a jittery feel, while other shots were simply played back very slowly. Individual frames were also
splattered with drops of blood.[14]The sequence's transitions were constructed differently, though; they were
made with aPolaroidtransfer technique. The last frame of one shot and the first frame of another were taken as
a single Polaroid photo, which was then divided betweenemulsionand backing. The emulsion was then filmed
being further separated by chemicals and those shots of this separation were placed back into the final edit.[13]
Eight different typefaces, inspired by Southern road signage, were also created manually by Camm Rowland for
cast and crew credits, as well as the show's title card.[14]
[edit]Music
Gary Calamar, the music supervisor for the series, said that his goal for the soundtrack to the show is to create
something "swampy, bluesy and spooky" and to feature local Louisiana musicians.[15]ComposerNathan
Barrwrites the original score for the series which features cello, guitar, prepared piano and glass harmonica
among other instruments, all of which he performs himself.[citation needed]The main theme song is "Bad Things"
bycountry musicartistJace Everett, from his 2005 self-titled debut.[16]
Elektra/Atlantic Records released aTrue Bloodsoundtrack on May 19, 2009, the same day as the release of the
DVD and Blu-Ray of the first season.[17]
Nathan Barr's original score forTrue Bloodwas released on CD ontheVarse Sarabandelabel on September 8, 2009.[18]
BothNathan BarrandJace Everettwon 2009 awards fromBroadcast Music Incorporatedin the BMI Cable

Promotional poster
The premiere ofTrue Bloodwas prefaced with aviral marketing/alternate reality game(ARG) campaign, based
atBloodCopy.com. This included setting up multiple websites,[20][21][22]encoding web address into unmarked
envelopes mailed to high profile blog writers and others, and even performances by a "vampire" who attempted
to reach out to others of their kind, to discuss the recent creation of "TruBlood", a fictional beverage which is
featured in the show. AMySpaceaccount with the username "Blood"[23]had, as of June 19, uploaded two
videos;[24]one entitled "Vampire Taste Test - True Blood vs Human",[25]and one called "BloodCopy Exclusive
INTERVIEW WITH SAMSON THE VAMPIRE". Aprequelcomicwas handed out to attendees of the
2008Comic-Con. The comic centers around an old vampire named Lamar, who tells the reader about how
TruBlood surfaced and was discussed between many vampires before going public. At one point, Lamar
wonders if TruBlood is making the world safe for vampires or from them.
Several commercials featured on HBO andFacebook[26]aired prior to the series premiere, placing vampires in
ads similar to those of beer and wine. Some beverage vending machines across the US were also fitted with
cards indicating that they were "sold out" of TruBlood.
Promotional poster for second season
Thousands of DVDs of the first episode were handed out to attendees of Midnight Madness, a special screenings
event of the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival.Blockbuster Videoprovided free rental of the first

On April 16, 2009, HBO released the first teaser poster for Season 2. The image uses a perspective technique
that shows observers one of two images.[27]A minute-long promotional video advertising season two, which
featuredBob Dylan's "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'", was released viaEntertainment Tonightin early May.[28]
On September 10, 2009, HBO.com will begin sellingTru:Blood, the fictional drink that appears in the show. Inreal life, it is a blood orange carbonated drink, developed and manufactured byOmni Consumer Products, a
company that specializes in defictionalizing brands from television and movies.
There is also a website forThe Fellowship of the Sun, antagonists from the book series, featuring videos about
hot-button issues such as becoming a vampire.
FX (UK), the UK and Ireland broadcaster of the series, launched an extensive promotional website for the
series.[29]
[edit]Cast and characters
Main article:Characters of True Blood
True Bloodemploys a broad ensemble cast composed of regular, central characters and a rotating group of
impermanent supporting characters. Though the series is based in the fictional town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, a
noticeable number of the actors comprising the cast are originally from outside the United States. In an
interview, Ball explained that he didn't intentionally seek out "non-American" actors, but was willing to go
anywhere he needed to in order "to find the actor who makes the character breathe." Ball went on to explain
that, in casting, there was more of a focus on who would portray the character in a compelling way rather than
who would physically resemble the characters from the book. Noting that there's a definite difference between
the characters portrayed inTrue Bloodand the ones depicted inThe Southern Vampire Mysteries, he described
Harris as being very understanding in terms of how her work was being reinterpreted.[30]
[edit]Principal cast
The series is set within the fictional town of Bon Temps,Louisiana. The show acknowledges the reality that
supernatural creatures such asvampires,telepaths,shapeshiftersand other mythical creatures exist.
In thefirst seasonvampires have recently come "out of thecasket" and many are trying to integrate, or
"mainstream", into society, a process made easier by the sale of artificial blood called "Tru Blood". The maincharacters for the series areSookie Stackhouse(Anna Paquin), a telepath and waitress at the local bar, called
"Merlotte's", owned by shapeshifterSam Merlotte(Sam Trammell). Sookie's best friendTara Thornton(Rutina
Wesley) begins working at Merlotte's in the pilot episode, and enters into a brief relationship with Sam during
the first season.
In the first episode the viewers are introduced to the vampire culture viaBill Compton(Stephen Moyer), who is
rescued by Sookie when a local couple attempt to drain his blood. After drinking Bill's blood Sookie becomes
psychically connected to Bill, and soon after they begin a relationship.

DetectiveAndy Bellefleur(Chris Bauer) investigates the murders in Bon Temps and favours Jason Stackhouse
as the chief suspect; when he is proven wrong at the end of the season, he falls offthe wagon. Bellefleur's boss
is the town sheriff,Bud Dearborne(William Sanderson). Andy's cousin,Terry(Todd Lowe) is a former

employs Sookie to find a thief in his bar, but once the perpetrator (a vampire) is revealed and attempts to kill
Sookie, Bill stakes and kills the thief to save her. Bill is thus punished for killing another vampire by being
forced to create a new vampire. She isJessica Hamby(Deborah Ann Woll), a seventeen year old girl. Once

[edit]Reception
Critical reception ofTrue Bloodhas generally been favorable, despite the fact that initial impressions were
mixed. TheNew York Postcritic wrote of the opening episodes: "If HBO's new vampire show is any indication,
there would still be countless deaths - especially among vampire hunters and the viewers who love them -
because everyone would be dying of boredom. And so it is with HBO's new series from death-obsessed Alan
Ball, creator of the legendarySix Feet Under, whose new showTrue Blood, won't so much make your blood run
cold as it will leave you cold."[31]
WhereasUSA Todayconcluded: "Sexy, witty and unabashedly peculiar,True Bloodis a blood-drenched
Southern Gothic romantic parable set in a world where vampires are out and about and campaigning for equal
rights. Part mystery, part fantasy, part comedy, and all wildly imaginative exaggeration,[True] Bloodproves
that there's still vibrant lifeor deathleft in the 'star-crossed cute lovers' paradigm. You just have to know
where to stake your romantic claim."[32]
By the end of the first season,True Bloodhad a score of 64, indicating generally favorable reviews,
onMetacritic, an aggregator of critical responses.[33]The second season received a more favorable score of 74
on Metacritic.[34]
