True Blood

Sundays 9:00 PM on HBO

Changes are once again afoot on True Blood.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Mark Hudis - who replaced Alan Ball as showrunner in anticipation of Season 6 - has now been replaced himself by writer/co-executive producer Brian Buckner.

A HBO spokesperson says Hudis is stepping down to “to focus on development under his overall deal with the network."
