The sixth season of the HBO supernatural drama series True Blood premiered on June 16, 2013. The season had an abbreviated run of ten episodes, as opposed to the usual twelve, partially to accommodate the pregnancy of lead actress Anna Paquin. It is also the first season not to be primarily based on the corresponding novel in The Southern Vampire Mysteries series (in this case Definitely Dead), instead taking elements from multiple books in the series.
In the finale, Bill discovers that salvation comes at a price as he loses his powers inherited from the blood of Lilith. Sookie tries to talk Warlow into dating her first, but he turns violent. Bill releases Takahashi, and Jessica encourages him to save Sookie. With the help of Jason, Violet, Andy and Adylin, they rescue her. Warlow follows them and just as he is ready to recapture Sookie, Niall reappears and helps Jason stake Warlow. As soon as Warlow dies, the inherited power of daywalking diminishes. Far away in Sweden, Eric also loses the power, which causes him to burst into flames.
In February 2012 series creator Alan Ball announced he would step down as day-to-day showrunner of True Blood but would stay on as executive producer.Mark Hudis, who joined the writing staff at the beginning of the fourth season, was chosen as executive producer for season six. However, the producers announced in March 2013 that, after only a single season, Hudis would also depart the series to focus on developing his own HBO series. Brian Buckner filled the position for the rest of the season and will continue in the role for the seventh season. On Monday, July 15, 2013, HBO renewed True Blood for a seventh and final season.
