2 decent seasons out of 7 doesn’t justify a reboot...

kevin87 · 12-09-2020, 04:27 PM

A reboot or a revival? I really wish the "industry" wouldn't use one word for everything, there's a difference.

El Rey · 12-09-2020, 04:35 PM

Ehh
The last season left such a bad taste in my mouth that they should just leave it alone

thecooldud · 12-09-2020, 07:40 PM

Didn't it only just finish last week?

ianungstad · 12-09-2020, 10:25 PM

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa always seems to executive produce trashy stuff that I find a guilty pleasure. (Riverdale/Chilling Adventures of Sabrina/You)

BerryTheMusicMan · 12-09-2020, 11:25 PM

Why ?

slumcat · 12-10-2020, 02:19 AM

Worst thing, it will be TAMER than the original, not more explicit.

I bet they want it in a PG13 Riverdale tween mode.

Lutz · 12-10-2020, 08:08 AM

Don’t see that being an issue since RIVERDALE is even more ridiculous fever pitched camp American gothic than TRUE BLOOD was.

Riverdale is an unhinged show. What is even the genre of that show?

My family lost our cable before I got around to watching the ending, but I liked the main series well enough. I liked the directions they took it in and all the differences they made- Nelsan Ellis' Lafayette is still an amazing character, and I'm glad they let him stick around. I'd love to be proven wrong, but as previously stated by others- I don't see them going as all-out as they did before, even if it is still on HBO.

...you don't want to watch the ending.

There is absolutely no point to this.

Jay H. · 12-10-2020, 05:34 PM

Hated the original (no, I didn't watch every single episode) and I have no interest in a reboot.

willbfree · 12-14-2020, 02:02 PM

Some don’t like the ending to True Blood because it doesn’t fill in every detail of what happened in Sookie’s life. But it was a good last season, and far better than some of the middle seasons.

Anyway, with the showrunner of Sabrina the Boring Witch in charge of the new series I don’t have much hope for it.

Nice

The original show got way too cringe after season 3 or 4.

I thought any plans for a reboot were dead already. Either way, good it would not have the same quality as the original. Plus, True Blood seems to be available now on TNT. I thought the network was removing scripted shows, I guess only new ones.

I’ll take a second Vampire Eric prequel movie as long as it’s directed by Robert Eggers again.
