HBO says it's bringing back The Newsroom and True Blood for another season each.

True Blood, the network's hit vampire drama, will be coming back for a sixth season. Its stars include Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.

The Newsroom, created and written by Oscar-winner Aaron Sorkin, won a green light for a second season after just two episodes have aired. Though getting mixed reviews from critics, the show attracted a healthy audience for its premiere, totaling 2.1 million viewers.

Set at a cable news network, The Newsroom features Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, Alison Pill, and Sam Waterston.
