SYNOPSIS
Vampires have come 'out of the coffin' and are now living among us. Surviving on synthetic blood, they no longer need human blood to survive. Or so it seems...

The small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana boasts a wide array of colourful locals. Meet Sookie Stackhouse (Academy Award® winner Anna Paquin), a sweet and innocent waitress who hides her powerful ability to read minds; Bill Compton, a 173-year-old vampire who's just moved back to town; Sookie's brother Jason, a ladies' man who can't seem to stay out of trouble; tough as nails Tara, Sookie's loyal best friend; Sam, the owner of Merlotte’s who tries to keep his feelings for Sookie to himself; Lafayette, a man about town who's always cooking up something illicit and 'off the menu' and a quirky cast of characters who each hide their dark secrets in the shadows of night in this series that's like no other.

From Alan Ball, writer of the Oscar®-winning Best Picture American Beauty and creator of the Emmy Award® winning HBO series Six Feet Under, comes the critically acclaimed world of True Blood.
