Back in May it was announced that if HBO should decide to renew “True Blood”, Alan Ball would be stepping down as showrunner, to be replaced by his co-executive producer Mark Hudis. Well, fangbangers, the inevitable has indeed taken place.

TVLine reports that the supernatural soap opera has indeed been renewed for a sixth season. Ball, who’s working on new shows for Cinemax and HBO, will remain an executive producer on the show.

The Season 5 premiere of “True Blood” had 6.3 million viewers across both of its broadcasts, almost reaching the numbers it hit with the previous season’s debut, so the renewal was pretty much a no-brainer.
