    Alan Ball’s position as show-runner for “True Blood,” it’s almost done.
    The creator of the hit HBO series will step down as the day-to-day mastermind of the show at the end of this summer’s fifth season, Ball and the network announced Monday night.
    The 54-year-old executive producer, who helped usher Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse to the small screen, will stay on as an advisor on the show, assuming “True Blood” is picked up for a sixth season.
    The move, however, frees Ball up to produce more shows for HBO and sister network Cinemax - which is airing his newest series, “Banshee”, which starts filming this spring.
    “True Blood has been, and will continue to be, a highlight of not only my career but my life,” Ball said in a statement. “Because of the fantastic cast, writers, producers and crew, with whom I have been lucky enough to work these past five years, I know I could step back and the show will continue to thrive as I look forward to new and exciting ventures.”
