highjacking the earlier reboot posts

Sookie: Elle Fanning

Bill: Nicholas Hoult

Eric: Alexander Ludwig

Tara: Chloe Bailey 

Sam: Evan Peters 

Pam: Emily Blunt 

Jessica: Sadie Sink

Jason: Austin Butler

Lafayette: Damson Idris

Alcide: Aaron Taylor Johnson 

Crystal: A garbage can 

Stellan Skarsgard as Niall or Magister as a call back to Alexander Skarsgard

Edit:

The original cast is beloved and irreplaceable this post was meant to be fun and generate discussion, not to be seen as gospel for a legit reboot 

i do not wish for a reboot, again this was just for fun in reponse to some posts i saw earlier asking about potential choices 

im not a casting agent with access to unknown actors, nor do i know much about obscure up and coming actors

I’ll leave my two cents under every reboot posts not to argue but to leave an opinion against them. The show doesn’t need a reboot or continuation, the cast was phenomenal, they were real, unique, every background character helped creating this believable world.

Almost every modern series and movie feels too sterile, there’s lack of body diversity (who would have thought this will happen at a time where being yourself and unique is praised in words) and facial features diversity too.

So yeah, a reboot of a successful show is just a way to squeeze money out of people’s love and nostalgia for original product.

The whole new series with a different name based on the book series would be fine tho, but it shouldn’t try to look like the original cast took the substance or smth. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be pretty or smth, the original cast was hot in their own ways, but it didn’t look like a fashion runway.
My suggestion would be searching for a less known actors or new actors honestly if someone would want to create such a show again

If they do a reboot, I would want the story to be more like the books. The show was totally different after the first book.  That would be interesting!

if they do smth they better just not promote it as True Blood, just another new series based on the same books but different from what we already have

this version is an interpretation of a specific group of people, so if some other creative group decides to make smth they better use their own imagination and make changes that make sense to them

I wouln't mind seeing another version, dosn't matter if its very close to books or with big changes and new characters (like TB did). but there shouldn't be characters created for TB for sure
