True Blood premiered on HBO in 2008, and ran for seven seasons until 2014. The show is based on the novel series The Southern Vampire Myseries by Charlaine Harris.

The show starred Anna Paquin as telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse, alongside Alexander Skarsgård, Joe Manganiello, Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell, Ryan Kwanten, and Rutina Wesley.

HBO has declined to comment on the upcoming reboot series at the time of writing.

Meanwhile in Riverdale news, Aguirre-Sacasa teased that a character could return from the dead in a new season five poster.

“Nothing stays buried forever,” the showrunner wrote on Twitter alongside a string of cryptic emojis, sharing the poster of a hand reaching through the fog.
