Sunday's episode was episode 7 of season 2. I think they'll be done by the first Sunday of Sept, which is actually the 1 year anniversary of when season 1 premiered. Which for a cable series is lightning fast turnaround.
Usually the wait between seasons of HBO shows range from just a year to even longer. In the case of David Chase with THE SOPRANOS and Larry David for CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, the deciding factor of if they wanted to go another year was completely dependent on their mood. But with TRUE BLOOD, season 1 ended in November and season 2 started in June, so there was only a seven month wait between the two seasons. Probably because TRUE BLOOD has been the first real hit show HBO has had in years. After the end of THE SOPRANOS, they were really struggling to find another hit series in light of AMC with MAD MEN and BREAKING BAD, Showtime with THE TUDORS, DEXTER, WEEDS, etc and FX with THE SHIELD, NIP/TUCK and RESCUE ME. But TRUE BLOOD averages about 4 million viewers every Sunday night and 10 million in total with repeats over the week. While those numbers would be decent for regular tv, for pay cable those are fantastic numbers. Joss would potentially kill for those numbers.
Season 3 probably won't be until next summer, but that should be long enough for people to catch up on the show.
As for the show right now, just fantastic. I can't wait to see what'll happen when Jason and Sookie finally run into each other. And I think next Sunday's ep will be the all out war episode. It'll be cool to see the show which rightfully focuses on the characters and their dynamics to just go all out in an epic clash you'd normally see in a summer blockbuster.
