Video: Charlaine Harris' True Blood books spawned a huge hit for HBO, and NBC is hoping for a similar windfall with Midnight, Texas. The series is also based on Harris' books, and also features a small Southern town with some decidedly supernatural inhabitants. Because it's NBC though, it looks a little more... tame.
The idea of a True Blood musical has been bandied about since the vampire drama concluded its HBO run in 2014. Composer Nathan Barr, who worked on all seven seasons of the show, revealed that he'd pitched the concept to show creator Alan Ball, with hopes of "returning to the roots" of the story ... in song.
