More Blood Coming Up

Scott Foley and fans of True Blood can rest easy tonight.

HBO has gone ahead and ensured everything that goes bump in the night in Bon Temps keeps on bumpin’ – at least for another season.

The cabler has renewed its summer hit for a fifth, 12-ep season to debut next summer, with showrunner Alan Ball back to call the shots for Sookie (Anna Paquin) & Co.

In fact, Ball is said to be already hard at work on the next batch of episodes, which will explore how one of the vampires was made, and, of course, introduce many more (sexy, I’m sure) characters.
