From SlashFilm.com:

True Blood is based on Charlaine Harris’ “Southern Vampire” novel series. The series follows the world of vampires set in small-town Louisiana. Apparently the vampires are able to co-exist with humans by drinking a Japanese-manufactured synthetic blood.

This is the first I’ve heard about this show.  I’m curious to see it because Vampires are cool, except if they come from Lost Boys 2.  Yes I saw that movie and it sucks.  I’ll put up a review when it’s released.
