Production

A seventh season was ordered on July 15, 2013, and was later announced to be the final season.[2][4] Brian Buckner continued as executive producer and showrunner.[4]

At the end of December 2013, actor Luke Grimes, who had portrayed the vampire James in the sixth season, asked to be released from his contract over creative differences (according to cast and crew Grimes didn't want to play the role once he found out his character was going to be bisexual in season seven).[28][29] Australian actor Nathan Parsons was later announced as his replacement.[30] After having recurring roles as Ginger and Lettie Mae Thornton since the first season, both Tara Buck and Adina Porter were promoted to series regulars.[31][32]

Filming on the final episode wrapped in the early hours of July 10, 2014.[33][34] Charlaine Harris, author of the series of novels on which the show is based, filmed a cameo for the series finale (she was director for Eric and Pam's commercial).[35]
