‘True Blood,’ starring Anna Paquin, will wrap up with next year’s seventh season.



Put a stake in it, “True Blood” is just about done.

HBO announced Tuesday that the steamy vampire drama series will end its run in 2014 with its seventh season.


HBO says it will be ‘hard to say goodbye to the residents of Bon Temps,’ including trampy vamps, Alexander Skarsgard’s Eric and Kristin Bauer van Straten’s Pam.


“‘True Blood’ has has been nothing short of a defining show for HBO," Mike Lombardo, the nework’s head of programming said in making the annoucement. "Alan Ball took the books by Charlaine Harris, assembled a brilliant cast led by the magnificent Anna Paquin in the role of Sookie Stackhouse, and crafted a show that has taken its many devoted fans on an unforgettable journey.

‘As we take a final walk through Bon Temps together, we will do our very best to bring Sookie's story to a close with heart, imagination and, of course, fun,’ says show runner Brian Buckner.

“Together with its legions of fans, it will be hard to say goodbye to the residents of Bon Temps, but I look forward to what promises to be a fantastic final chapter of this incredible show."

Even before series creator Alan Ball’s departure as show runner after the fifth season, however, some critics felt the once buzz-worthy show might be getting long in the tooth.

The season 6 finale, which aired two weeks ago, drew an audience of 4.1 million viewers, down from 5 million the previous season, according to Nielsen’s figures.

Current show runner Brian Buckner promised that the seventh season will wrap the saga of Paquin’s Sookie “with heart, imagination and, of course, fun.
