17 June 2013 8:35 AM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »

Last night was the premiere of True Blood‘s sixth season and we have another nine episodes to go. If you’d like a tease of what’s to come, HBO released a new trailer that shows what’s to come.

“The Authority is in flames. TruBlood is in short supply. As Bill comes to terms with his newfound powers after emerging reincarnated from a pool of blood, humans are in open conflict with vampires like never before. Meanwhile, Sookie and Jason must steel themselves for an encounter with their parents’ killer: the mysterious and ancient Warlow.

The hit series True Blood kicks off its ten-episode sixth season Sunday, June 16 (9:00-10:00 p.m. Et/Pt), exclusively on HBO, followed by other new episodes on subsequent Sundays at the same time.

‘True Blood’ Season Premiere Recap: Sookie Takes A Stand Against ‘Billith’

16 June 2013 7:14 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

Plus, with Bill out of the way, Sookie & Eric are free to get their flirt on. It’s just like old times!

Picking up right where we left off, the June 16 season premiere of True Blood found Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) running like hell from “Billith,” whom Jason (Ryan Kwanten) aptly referred to as a “naked evil Superman.” But is Bill (Stephen Moyer) really the dark, irredeemable vampire god that Truebies have spent all year fearing he would be?

That remains a bit of a mystery.

Upon returning home from the Authority, Bill was able to revert back to his former self — physically, at least — though he discovered a few handy new powers, like telepathy and the ability to make mini-earthquakes. But things got super weird at the end of the episode. Bill was suddenly overcome by painful visions (was he hearing the prayers of his injured vampire people? »

Pam And Tara: True Blood’s Cutest Couple? Discuss!

16 June 2013 6:00 PM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »

Last season on True Blood, we saw the beginnings of a crazy but hot — and strangely cute — pairing between Pam and her new vampire “daughter” Tara. (Ok, when you use those incestuous terms, it’s a little less hot, but you know what we mean.) When VH1 News hit the red carpet for the premiere of season six, we asked the stars — and author Charlaine Harris — what they thought of the chemistry between the angry lady fangers, played by Kristin Bauer van Straten and Rutina Wesley.

“That is a cool couple, something I never anticipated,” Harris told us. “In the books, Tara is still human, married and the mother of twins. But given the trend of the show, that was a very logical step.”

Wesley didn’t seem very optimistic about the fate of this couple, though. “You will see me and Pam together,” she teased. “We always will have a special bond, »

'True Blood's' Rutina Wesley: In Season 6, 'all hell is breaking loose'

16 June 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Relationship crises are nothing new to telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), but she faces a new one of epic proportions as "True Blood" comes roaring back for its sixth season on HBO on Sunday, June 16.

As fans will remember, Season 5 reached its climax as Sookie's brother, Jason (Ryan Kwanten), led a daring raid on the New Orleans headquarters of the Vampire Authority, where control had been seized by the Sanguinistas, a rogue vampire faction that opposed mainstreaming with humans and worshipped a primal deity known as Lilith, the mother of all vampires.

As carnage reigned throughout the complex, Sookie and charismatic vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) confronted her old lover Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), who in a fit of religious mania downed a large flask of Lilith's sacramental blood, then dissolved into the gruesome puddle of gore that generally signals that a vampire has gone to his "true death. »

TV Review: HBO’s ‘True Blood’ Has Lost Its Pulse

16 June 2013 8:56 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Does anyone else remember when “True Blood” was fun? When it was about a special girl falling for a brooding vamp and not Always about the fate of the entire world? When it had a sense of humor, especially in characters like Jason & Lafayette? When the blend of sexuality and commentary on gay rights sometimes brilliantly interjected themes of tolerance into escapist entertainment? Watching the start of the sixth season of “True Blood,” I’m struck by one overwhelming criticism — it’s just not fun any more. Maybe there are too many supernatural entities floating around Bon Temps, dragging it down into melodrama, but this show needs to find its entertainment value again by stop taking itself so damn seriously. It may be too late.

Television Rating: 2.0/5.0

At the end of the fifth season, Bill (Stephen Moyer, who also directs the sixth season premiere, “Who Are You, Really?”) bathed »

HBO’s True Blood returns with its sixth season this Sunday, and according to the cast — who chatted with TVLine at the addictive drama’s recent premiere party — things are more “extreme” than ever.

Five Reasons To Start Hyperventilating About "True Blood"

13 June 2013 2:54 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

Tags: True BloodAnna PaquinRutina WesleytelevisionJessica ClarkJanina GavankarKristin BauerIMDb

This Sunday, HBO’s True Blood returns for its sixth season. For the uninitiated, True Blood is the story of telepathic (fairy) waitress Sookie Stackhouse, and the multitude of magical creatures she attracts to her magnetic vagina. It’s a supernatural soap opera with a sensibility that is unabashedly trashy, gory, and sweaty. It is also one of the smartest allegories on television about gay rights, race relations, and the South. In other words: the perfect summer show. So whether this is your first visit to Bon Temps or you’re a full-time resident, here’s what we have to look forward to.

Kristin Bauer Teases True Blood Season 6, Changing Pam and Eric Relationship

13 June 2013 8:26 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

As loyal fans of the HBO smash know so well, each season of True Blood delivers a roller coaster of nudity, fun, death and all-out craziness.

And True Blood Season 6, which kicks off Sunday, is no exception.

But Kristin Bauer talks exclusively to TV Fanatic in the following interview and explains that upcoming episodes are different for just how much is very different in Bon Temps, from a ruthless governor (played by Arliss Howard) to the relationship between Pam and Eric, which is changing in ways that do not make Pam very happy.

Another major change to come? Yes, Pam really is drinking milk in this photo...

TV Fanatic: The season starts out with Pam and Eric not exactly connecting as he pushes her away. How does that make Pam feel?

Kristin Bauer: Not good. Eric is all Pam has ever needed, besides clothing, hair and makeup. But all that can be replaced, »

Courtney Ford Returning for True Blood Season 6

12 June 2013 10:28 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Remember back in Season 4 of "True Blood" when we met attorney Portia Bellefleur, the great-great-great-great granddaughter of Bill Compton, played by Courtney Ford? Well, she's coming back to Bon Temps for Season 6!

Per TV Guide, Ford is slated to return in Episode 7, which should be interesting given that when we last saw her, Bill had glamoured her into screaming and running away any time she encountered him due to her persistence in making a play for him despite their familial connection. She did share a bit about why she might be returning: "After watching the Season 5 finale, which was pretty intense and crazy, things are getting a little heated in Bon Temps, and it stands to reason that someone is going to need a lawyer."

But what about that pesky screaming and running away thing? Will that still be in play? "How much of Bill is in there?" Ford mused. »
