Sookie, Eric, Bill and all our favorite residents of Bon Temps return tonight for True Blood’s final season!
7×01 – Jesus Gonna Be Here screens tonight 8:30pm on Showcase via Foxtel
The final season of HBO’s True Blood is fast approaching and as we all eagerly await, HBO dropped a teaser trailer on Sunday to further the excitement for True Bloods return in June.
The 35 second preview reveals that our favorite residents on Bon Temps have begun to turn on each other, guns aimed and pointed, and if things couldn’t get any worse, it seems the townsfolk will also have to deal with ‘sick vampires’ ravaging the town.
As you’ll see in the teaser below, neither Eric nor Bill were shown.
True Blood, season 7, returns Sunday June 22nd on HBO and on Showcase via Foxtel shortly after.
Our favorite vampires and shifters will be leaving our screens at the end of the True Blood‘s seventh season, due to air mid 2014.
HBO announced yesterday that True Blood’s 10 episode season seven will be the shows last. The show has been a defining part of TV culture and HBO’s programming president promises the last installment will be nothing short of incredible when it airs in 2014.
“True Blood has been nothing short of a defining show for HBO,” Michael Lombardo said in a statement.
“Alan Ball took the books by Charlaine Harris, assembled a brilliant cast led by the magnificent Anna Paquin in the role of Sookie Stackhouse, and crafted a show that has taken its many devoted fans on an unforgettable journey.”
“Together with its legions of fans, it will be hard to say goodbye to the residents of Bon Temps, but I look forward to what promises to be a fantastic final chapter of this incredible show.”
The show recently ended it’s sixth season revealing vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) as the new mayor of Bon Temps and Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Alcide (Joe Manganiello) happily together in a relationship while Eric’s (Alexander Skarsgård) whereabouts remains unknown after loosing his ability to walk in daylight (last we saw him, he was enveloped in a ball of fire…)
True Blood returns to FOXTEL mid next year for it’s final season.
