Anna Paquin & Stephen Moyer Will Never Let Their Kids Watch True Blood

True Blood stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer have said they will never let their children watch the beloved series, as long as they have a say in it. Created by acclaimed writer Alan Ball, True Blood ran for 7 seasons on HBO and produced 80 episodes, attracting a large fan base. Other members of the ensemble include Sam Trammell, Chris Bauer, Adina Porter, and Alexander Skarsgård.

True Blood follows the stories of Paquin’s Sookie, a telepathic human-faerie hybrid known as a halfling, and Moyer’s Bill, her love-interest and a 174-year-old vampire, as they contend with the invention of a synthetic blood substitute that allows vampires to “come out of the coffin.” The series is based on The Southern Vampire Mysteries series of books by Charlaine Harris. The series is known for its satire and exploration of real-life issues, such as discrimination, violence against minorities, drug addiction, identity, and family.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Paquin and Moyer discuss not wanting their kids to watch the show, even though their twins are currently only 9 years old. They made the decision based on not wanting their kids to see them as actors, and would rather just see them as parents, with True Blood’s graphic content surely a contributing factor as well. Paquin, however, did allow her kids to watch her newest film, American Underdog, about NFL quarterback Kurt Warner’s rise to success. Read Paquin’s full quote below:

We’ve very intentionally not brought them into this aspect of our lives, because frankly, they’re minors, and I don’t feel comfortable making that decision for them, because it’s permanent. […] I would like them to get to be kids. I think that I’m speaking for, not just from myself here, from the last 18 months, I think kids just getting to do normal kid stuff is a pretty big priority, you know?

After the announcement in December 2020 that True Blood will receive a reboot, it was confirmed that none of the original cast are set to star. Despite this, Ball will return as an executive producer, which is good news considering his departure as showrunner after True Blood season 5 contributed to the highly criticized final two seasons. Ball’s other series, Six Feet Under, is also in development to be rebooted.

Actors are in a unique position as parents, where their work can have a much stronger influence on their children than most professions. Paquin and Moyer’s decision to let their kids be kids could also stem from Paquin’s own past as a child actor, winning an Academy Award at age 11 for her role in Jane Campion’s The Piano, whose latest film, The Power of the Dog, is a current Oscar contender. With the reboot on the way, True Blood will surely bring its twisty satirical edge to a modern audience.
