HBO original series Trueblood comes to India

Suspense, thrills, humour and a hearty dose of synthetic blood come your way as HBO announces the launch of a brand new original series, TRUEBLOOD in India. Golden Globe Award® nominated television drama, TRUEBLOOD, kicks off with the first season on Sunday, 5th July after the 9 PM movie on HBO. Starring newly crowned Golden Globe® winner (for Best Actress in a Television Series – Drama) Anna Paquin and created by Six Feet Under’s Alan Ball, TRUEBLOOD is based on the popular Sookie Stackhouse novels of Charlaine Harris about the tale of Sookie Stackhouse, a perky waitress with telepathic gifts – and an irresistible attraction to a vampire named Bill Compton.

In the not-too-distant future, and thanks to the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood, vampires no longer need humans for their fix and can walk freely, if not yet comfortably, among their living counterparts – though they can still come out only at night. Meanwhile, in the backwoods of Louisiana town in Bon Temps, Sookie works as a waitress at the down-home bar Merlotte’s. Though outwardly normal, she has unusual qualities of her own: Sookie can read minds, which complicates her world in endless ways. But Sookie’s life gets a lot more interesting when Merlotte’s gets its first vampire patron – the 173-year-old Bill – and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other.
