There are more changes afoot at HBO's "True Blood".
Mark Hudis, who in May replaced departing creator-showrunner Alan Ball for the show's upcoming sixth season, is being replaced himself. Writer-producer Brian Buckner, who has been with the vampire series since its first season, has taken over the position for the show's not-yet-concluded season.
“Mark Hudis has stepped down as showrunner of 'True Blood' to focus on development under his overall deal with the network,” a spokesperson for the premium cable network said in a statement, referring to a two-year deal the writer-producer signed with the network last spring.
