If there was one thing that sort of bothered us about the last season of the HBO hit series "True Blood", it was the introduction of all the new characters while familiar favorites were left with little to do. With Season 4 gearing up, even more new characters will be on their way, and we've got a bit of a taste of whom they're looking for.

As per TrueBlood.net via IMDB:

TRUE BLOOD, Episode 4.04, "TBD"
Writer: Nancy Oliver
Director: Michael Lehmann
Location: L.A.
Start Date: 1/26/2011

[CAROLINE BELLEFLEUR] In her 70s, Caucasian, formidable, refined, and beautifully dressed, she is Portia's (Courtney Ford) grandmother who dislikes vampires but warms to Bill's charm. Guest Star.

[EMMA] Native American / Hispanic, 6 years old to play 5 years old, happy, playful and talkative, she is the daughter of a shifter and a werewolf. Strong Recurring.

[HEAD PRIEST] Male, Hispanic, 40s to 70s, seen in a flashback to 1610, he instigates the burning of a witch at a medieval church, and he clearly takes pleasure in describing the procedure. 3 lines, 1 scene. Actor must speak Spanish.

In addition, a bit of confirmed casting news slipped under our radar earlier this week. Per Deadline Hollywood Paola Turbay, a former Miss Colombia and Miss Universe runner-up, has joined "True Blood" as recurring character Antonia, about which not much is known aside from the fact she speaks fluent Spanish.

Look for more, we're sure, soon.
