Discussion: Where is Trueblood filmed?

"The second unit filming was done in Shreveport and around the area. The "nest" that the locals burnt down in episode 7 was a historic old house in downtown Shreveport and it caused a real stink.

As for the accents, I disagree with some of the other Louisiana-connected folks here and say they are poorly done. Renee sounds like the assistant coach off The Waterboy.

Having never read the books, I don't know how accurately the place names reflect the author's usage, but I find them horribly distracting. It's as if someone just sat with an alphabetical listing of Louisiana place names and picked them at random. There's no geographic continuity. People bounce all over north Louisiana as if they are going down the street. As for the general feel of the scenery, it's quite awful and degrading as well. Everyone lives in a run-down house with peeling paint and Spanish moss-draped live oaks. Every road seems to be either gravel, one-laned, or both. It's a caricature and a pretty inaccurate one."

"The house was burned this past April. It was a run down home that local preservationists were attempting to save given it dates to the 1800's and was the last remaining historic brothel from Shreveport's the former "red-light district." After the scene was filmed, there was some confusion as to what was going on as permission was not explicitly given to burn the house. As a result, it was demolished. "

"I live in Vicksburg, Mississippi, which is about an hour across the river from Monroe, La. I've lived here my whole life. I was wondering where they film the show. I love the show and of course the books. Vicksburg is actually mentioned in the 3rd book. I love the fact that the actors perfected their southern accents for the show too. I just hate to watch shows or movies with actors that cannot speak with a true southern accent. Many of the characters remind me of people I know. I guess that is why I love the show so much, plus Charlaine Harris is from Mississippi. Merlotte'ss reminds me of a bar that I used to hang out at in high school. Yeah I know, I said high school, but the drinking age in Louisiana at that time was 18. IT WAS AWESOME! I also really like to look and Bill and Eric! I hope the show continues for a 3rd season. "
