Truest Blood not only has Woll and van Straten watching all seven seasons for the very first time, but they'll also interview a line-up of co-stars and members of production staff.
"Thirteen years after True Blood first premiered, HBO Max has seen both longtime fans continuing to rewatch and a whole new generation of Fangbangers devouring the iconic series.
"In this unscripted podcast series, Truest Blood, former co-stars Deborah Ann Woll and Kristin Bauer van Straten will reunite to watch and break down never before shared behind-the-scenes moments of each episode of the hit series," a press release stated (via ComicBook).

"The long-form episodes will feature recaps, interviews with cast and crew, special effects breakdowns, and questions from listeners. Truest Blood will be coming to HBO Max and all podcast platforms soon.
"Truest Blood follows the release of HBO Max's first look-back podcast, Band of Brothers, hosted by Roger Bennett and featuring interviews with former cast members including Tom Hanks and Damian Lewis. Both are part of HBO Max's continued investment in the audio space announced earlier this year, joining other new HBO Max podcasts, including Batman: The Audio Adventures, HBO Max Movie Club, and Trade Secrets."
True Blood aired on HBO between 2008 and 2014, starring Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer as doomed telepath/bloodsucker couple Sookie and Bill.
True Blood is available to stream on HBO Max in the US and NOW in the UK.
