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.

‘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.

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.
