'True Blood's' vampire characters may create a problem for the show as it ages

Devoted fans hoping that True Blood will provide dedicated viewers with seasons among seasons of the show might be disappointed.

While HBO’s hit series, True Blood, is based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels written by Charlaine Harris, creator Adam Ball doubts the show will match the longevity of the novels on which they are based on.

There are as many as ten novels, and there is a good possibility that more are on the way, USA Today reports.

Ball says about the hit series, “I'd like to see it run as long as it possibly can, but I don't want to get to the point where I have to explain why the vampires are aging.”

Viewers hoping to find out how the show will end through the novels may be in for a rude awakening. Although the series is based on Harris’ novels, Harris proclaims a differentiation amongst the series and the novels, saying “They're two separate entertainment experiences," adding, "Things may not end up in Alan's world the same way they end up in my world."
