Gorge on this New Trailer for True Blood Season 5

The fact that Russell Edgington makes his triumphant return gives us hope for Season 5 of HBO’s “True Blood”. Well, that and a look at Chris Meloni in full blood-spattered vamp mode from the show’s newest trailer.

“True Blood” takes place in the not-too-distant future, when vampires have come out of the coffin, thanks to the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood that means they no longer need humans as a nutritional source. Alan Ball created and executive produces the show, based on the best-selling Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris.

The 12-episode fifth season of “True Blood” will kick off Sunday, June 10th, at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT). For more in the meantime visit “True Blood” on HBO.com, “like” “True Blood” on Facebook, and jump in on the Twitter conversations here using the hashtag #trueblood.
