True Blood airing in the UK… some good news and some less good news

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video

We’ve had our Sherlock Holmes-style deerstalkers on and been investigating when HBO’s fantastic vampire drama series True Blood is coming to UK shores. The good news is that we can confirm that it’s been snapped up by the ace digital channel FX. The bad news is we’ve just learned that it’s not scheduled to air until next summer – so all you blood-thirsty fans out there are in for a bit of a wait. Thankfully, there’s plenty of great new US drama to keep us going until then, and we’ll keep you updated on all things True Blood-related until then.

    NOOOOOOOO
    NOT FX
    I DONT HAVE FX
    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  2. Ben says:

    Sorry Juliette, ’tis true! Though seeing as how ITV1 show Dexter after FX have screened it, perhaps there’s a chance they’ll pick up True Blood as well…? We should start a letter-writing campaign to get this ace series the recognition it deserves!

  3. Abe says:

    Superb news for anyone who has caught a snippet of this great series – Channel 4 have also got the rights to show it, so will be putting it on sometime later this year.
    good stuff for all those who don’t have FX,especially as ITV never do a good job with their US shows.

  4. redfirewood says:

    True Blood is a great show and Stephen Moyer shines in this series and everybody believes this is his breakthrough performance. His presence in the show is truly mesmerizing.

  9. Nadine says:

    NO! Seriously next summer! Ive seen like one episode and im hooked, i want to see it now.

  10. Ben says:

    Worry not, Nadine. When we first wrote about True Blood – a year ago now – it wasn’t due until next summer. However, a year has now passed…

    And True Blood is launching on FX on Friday 17th July at 10.00pm. 2009!

    If you’re not fortunate enough to have FX, then you’ll have to wait a little longer. Channel 4 are aiming to show it in October!

  25. Georgia says:

    I don’t have FX either, when I found out it wasn’t on E4 anymore, I was upset, it’s on its 3rd episode now and I haven’t been able to watch one, so I have to wait so patiently, I really want to watch it! Fingers crossed it comes to ITV or Channel 4! :) x

  26. kayla says:

    ah im a bit confused so is series two out this ummer on channel 4 need to see it lol as read all the books

  27. ann says:

    Cannot believe that the produers of trueblood would put season 1 on channel 4 then put season 2 on fx. Wat is the point? So now we have to wait months if ye don’t have fx.

  28. Melanie says:

    When are we getting season 3 in the UK?

  29. Louise says:

    Season 3 airs in the US from June 13th and there’s so far been a 9-10month gap between airdates so I’d speculate Season 3 will hit FX around Feb-March 2011 and then Channel 4 the Summer of 2011. If you can’t wait that long the DVD and Blu-ray of Season 2 comes out on Monday :)

  30. gill barber says:

      • Heather says:

        And the good news is the FX Press office confirms it’ll be airing TB5 this Autumn! So not tooo long to wait, just have to avoid the spoilers between now and then…
