In just 2 weeks, ‘True Blood’ viewers will finally see the havoc of unearthing King Russell will cause and the vampire struggle involving The Authority. But it’s not a ‘True Blood’ event unless there’s blood and gore and in this new trailer, there seems to be plenty of that!

While the first trailer centered on the arrival of The Authority, this second one gives a larger overview of the series and has some great footage showing why Russell makes a great villain. We still don’t know about Tara’s fate and who dug up Russell but Sookie takes all this in stride, “A 3000 year old vampire wants to suck my blood? Must be Thursday.”

While the series has ventured off from the Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse books which it was based upon, word has it that season 5 will incorporate many of the elements found in the fifth book. If you are a fan of both the books and the series, you can see how much was integrated into the show as HBO recently released the synopsis of the first three episodes which you can read after the trailer.

So get ready for some answers and suspense as the 12-episode fifth season of ‘True Blood’ debuts on  Sunday, June 10th, at 9:00PM ET/PT on HBO.
