True Blood is more than half completed filming of Season 5 and we’re excited to get some new casting calls for the next episode to start production in early April, Episode 5.08.

The episode has been written by Mark Hudis, and for the first time, a True Blood star is directing an episode, Stephen Moyer.

We remember that during PaleyFest last year Stephen Moyer was asked if he wanted to direct an episode of True Blood and he replied that it had hoped to do so. Read more about Stephen’s True Blood Directing debut click here.
