HBO experienced additional viewer acclaim with the 2008 debut of "True Blood", a vampire-themed fantasy horror drama based on "The Southern Vampire Mysteries" gothic novel series by Charlaine Harris. While earning few major television awards throughout its run, "True Blood"s average viewership often rivaled that of "The Sopranos", peaking at an average of 12.4 million per week (counting repeat and on-demand viewership) during its second season. The network saw three more hit series premiere in the 2010s: "Game of Thrones," which earned both critical and viewer praise, and set a single-year record for Emmy wins by an individual program in 2015 with 12 awards; "Girls"; and "True Detective".
