Stephen Moyer On HBO’s “Correct” Decision to End the Show, Final Season Hopes
TVLine caught up with Stephen Moyer to talk about The Sound of Music Live! broadcast happening Thursday, December 5, and of course the final season of True Blood. Stephen talks candidly about thinking HBO made the right decision to end the series now, his hopes for Bill, and reveals that he begins prepping to direct the first episode on December 9 (filming won’t begin until January).
Here are some excerpts from the interview:
“I think they made the right call to say, ‘Let’s finish it on a massive run of 10 episodes,’” he tells TVLine, adding that the cabler considered extending the series through an eighth season. “It was either going to be one season or two seasons… and I would’ve definitely [stayed] on. But it’s very difficult with a show like ours to keep finding a Big Bad and creating all the drama around it.”

TVLINE | Personally, do you think Bill and Sookie are the endgame?
I don’t know whether they can be, given everything that’s happened between them. What Bill did was open up something inside her that she had never had before. He was the key to a new world for her. And maybe that’s all he was supposed to be — a window into that world. I don’t think that there is a right or wrong answer. I think a bunch of people would be happy if that was the story and a bunch of people would be pissed off if that was the story. I don’t read that s–t, so I don’t care, ultimately. All I want to do is do the show and have fun doing it.TVLINE | What does Anna think?
She would have a completely different answer. She would probably say, “Sookie should go off and become a barwoman in New York.”
