Stephen Moyer: 'True Blood keeps getting better'

True Blood star Stephen Moyer says the vampire and werewolf-laden US drama is getting better and more interesting with every episode.

Speakign at PaleyFest in Beverly Hills, the actor, who plays Bill
Compton in the hit fantasy series, said working on True Blood is like a
dream.

"It's the dream that you dream of in terms that it's good, it's
beautifully written, it's fantastically shot and each episode looks
like a mini movie.

"If you were to put together your dream gig of how it would end up it
wouldn't be much further away from this... It just keeps getting better
and better and the show keeps getting more and more interesting, it's
everything you hope it would be."

True Blood's cast and crew are currently busy shooting the fourth
series, and Stephen admitted it will be hard to top the reception that
the third season received.

"We've had these incredible spikes each year," he said. "I don't think
it's historically possible to get another 60 per cent spike in audience
figures, but if we maintain what we've got I think we'll be very happy."

That would be the Sookie series of books right? I never read any of them but I am enjoying the show a lot.

Yes they are called like "Dead As a Door Nail" and "Definitely Dead"...If you like reading and you like True Blood you might like them.

Thanks TPP I may have to look into the books now.

I agree with that too. I don't like the new thing that they do with shows where they show 8 episodes then disappear for a long time either. So annoying.

There's the season finale & the almost year long wait. It seems like all the cable shows do this & it's irritating. True Blood, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, Weeds...they all do this & it's easy to lose interest if you're not really into the show.

Exactly CeCe, I am just confused when the first episode of TB returns but then I end up enjoying the season.
