During their True Blood Comic-Con panel, executive producer Brian Buckner said that they will be focusing more on early themes of the show, which is the relationship between humans and vampires as well as the small town its set in.
Buckner admitted to the crowd’s applause that the HBO show has “hurt” themselves by straying from those themes a bit too much.
"I feel like this show is ultimately about the relationship between vampires and humans and it's about this town. I want to bring it in a little bit. I feel like at times we've hurt ourselves," Buckner said, USA Today reports. "My goal is to get all these people living under the umbrella of one story and one threat ... and make it about this small town we've all come to know and love."
Buckner continues to say that the show will “return to its roots” and the current season will “end awesomely.”
"I think you're going to feel that the show is going to return to its roots and it's going to feel like it's about a gang of people in Bon Temps. We're going to try to condense the number of stories we are telling and really make this feel like we're coming home,” he said.
As we previously reported, True Blood was just renewed for a seventh season.
