The behind-the-scenes saga of "True Blood" continues, and is becoming nearly as juicy and convoluted as the show itself.
The HBO drama has seen a number of major shake-ups lately, and now there's another big one to report.
Back in May of last year, creator-showrunner Alan Ball left the show in order to focus on the new Cinemax drama "Banshee," and veteran writer-producer Mark Hudis stepped in as a replacement for the show's upcoming sixth season.
However, Hudis' tenure in the position didn't last long, as it's now being reported that he is being replaced himself. Writer-producer Brian Buckner will now act as showrunner, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Buckner has been onboard "True Blood" since the first season.
