PHILIPPINES, JUNE 22, 2013 – Entering its
sixth season is this “fangtastic” HBO Original Series by Oscar® and
Emmy® winner Alan Ball, TRUE
BLOOD. Premiering in Asia on Saturday, July 6 at 10pm exclusively on HBO
and HBO HD, the ten-episode season six introduces several jarring storylines
that threaten what little sense of normalcy remains in and around Bon Temps.
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.
TRUE BLOOD follows waitress and part-faerie Sookie
Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), who can hear people’s thoughts, vampire Bill Compton
(Stephen Moyer) and vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård). Mixing
romance, suspense, mystery and humor, the show takes place in a world where
vampires and humans co-exist, thanks to the invention of mass-produced
synthetic blood that means vampires no longer need humans as a nutritional
source.
In addition to Paquin, Skarsgård and Moyer,
who also directs the season premiere, the returning cast includes Ryan Kwanten
as Sookie’s trouble-prone brother, Jason Stackhouse; Rutina Wesley as Pam’s newly-turned
progeny, Tara Thornton; Sam Trammell as Sookie’s shape-shifting boss, Sam
Merlotte; Nelsan Ellis as Tara’s clairvoyant sharp-tongued cousin, Lafayette
Reynolds; Carrie Preston as Arlene Bellefleur, a Merlotte’s waitress; Todd Lowe
as Terry Bellefleur; Chris Bauer as Terry’s cousin, sheriff Andy Bellefleur;
Deborah Ann Woll as Jessica Hamby, Bill’s vampire progeny; Kristin Bauer van
Straten as Pam, Eric’s vampire progeny and business partner; Lauren Bowles as
Holly, a Merlotte’s waitress; Joe Manganiello as werewolf Alcide; Michael
McMillian as vampire Steve Newlin; Lucy Griffiths as Nora, a former chancellor
of the Vampire Authority; Kelly Overton as werewolf Rikki; and Anna Camp as
anti-vampire crusader Sarah Newlin.
New cast members this season include Arliss
Howard as Louisiana Governor Truman Burrell; Rob Kazinsky as Ben, a stranger
with faerie ties; Rutger Hauer as Niall, a faerie grandfather; Jurnee
Smollett-Bell as Nicole, a pro-vampire activist; and Amelia Rose-Blaire as
Truman Burrell’s daughter, Willa.
