While theres still a bit of a wait till True Blood returns in June, Alan Ball and the entire cast crashed this year’s Paleyfest and revealed a few details on what to expect for season 4, they also screened a clip from the new season. Below are spoilers for the upcoming season so you have been warned:
- Season Four will revolve heavily around witchcraft. According to Ball this arc will be kicked off with a Wiccan ceremony that accidentally summons an “older entity” (which we assume isn’t friendly).
- Expect to see new werewolves, shape-shifters, and “a new child.” (Arlene's serial killer love-spawn?)
- Russell Edgington, the Vampire King of Mississippi, will return. Ball says the decision not to kill him was very deliberate, and when he comes back, “he’ll be pissed.”
- Guest stars this season include Gary Cole and Fiona Shaw as a witch.
- Bill and Sookie aren’t going to get back together so easily. Their journey will be long and arduous.
- Niall, Sookie’s great-fairy-grandfather from the Charlaine Harris books, will appear in the future (but probably not this season).
