Although we know the show has been busy filming over the past couple of weeks, HBO’s Inside True Blood Blog is now officially discussing the start of production!

We’re getting some nice behind-the-scenes details.

From the blog’s conversation with True Blood producer Alexander Woo:

Alexander [Woo]: I’ve read episodes 1 and 2, and I’m very excited about them.

Gianna: Do you know which episodes you’ll be writing?

Alexander: There are six writers and twelve episodes, so I will be writing two. I’m doing episode 4 now, and another one toward the end of the season.

Gianna: Is there anything you can share with us about next season?

Alexander: Some of the things that people loved in the first four seasons of ‘True Blood,’ you’ll be getting more of. And there will also be some surprises that will hopefully delight everyone. We have a sense of what the fans have already enjoyed in the previous seasons, and we’re doing our best to give our fans more of that but also leave some room for novelty and surprise.
