UPDATE: I’ve leaned that Alan Ball’s new deal with HBO is actually multi-year. But under it, he has committed 
to be a full-time executive producer/showrunner on True Blood for only one more season. He is expected to reevaluate his future on the show at the end of Season 5, when he may take a backseat on True Blood while focusing on developing new projects for HBO or decide to continue full-time.
PREVIOUS: Big news at the opening of the True Blood panel at TCA: Series creator/executive producer Alan Ball said he has just closed a deal to do another season of the HBO series, effectively sealing the fifth-season renewal of the hit vampire drama. Ball disclosed the fact that he has re-signed in response to a request to address speculation that Season 4 could be his last. “I have no desire to leave,” he said. “Doing the show, I’m having more fun than I have ever had in my life.” He later said that he and the show’s writers are already breaking stories for Season 5 and one of them is about “how one of the vampires was made.”

Pretty sure that last item he mentions is the Pam origin story. Was hinted at during Comicon in any event…
This IS the best show on the air….and what do you expect- Alan Ball is one kinky and BRILLIANT producer…I mean, SIX FEET UNDER????? You go Ball Baby- keep the kink koming!
yeah not really enjoying TB anymore.
This show is incredibly inconsistent and bipolar. It is either great or so bad it’s laughable. I don’t why I bother anymore.
Second season was amazing…third limped. This season is horrible, I stopped watching two weeks ago, and im not missing the water cooler chatter…there is none.
I’ll admit that I was skeptical of this season but… I LOVE IT! People who don’t like change probably don’t need to watch the show because that is part of the charm, you never know what direction it’s going to go next. There are so many possibilities. I love Eric and Sookie together and I am definitely interested in how Pam will react to it. It’s all about fantasy and a HUGE break from the reality b.s. that is overtaking our television screens. I watch t.v. for a mini vacation from real life troubles and this show definitely does it for me! Alan Ball keep it coming!
