True Blood is reviving, with a musical twist.
The vampire drama, which aired successfully for seven seasons on HBO, is resurrecting in musical form, according to Deadline:
Speaking at a 10th anniversary screening of the pilot episode at Vulture Festival in Los Angeles on Sunday, creator Alan Ball gave details of the rumored musical version coming from composer Nathan Barr, which Ball says he’s heard is “pretty good”.
“It tells the story of vampires coming out of the closet,” Ball said. “Ultimately it really departs from the book, because people aren’t ready, and they’re too bigoted and they end up going back in to the closet.” He said the project, which Barr first announced in 2014, is currently being workshopped, but didn’t reveal whether he will have any sort of involvement.

Noooo. It isn’t needed. A musical vampire tv show? Noooo. True Blood was great as it was. Don’t do this and mess up the originals memory.
