What we know:
- Vampire and human relations are not great (to put it mildly), after Russell Edgington ripped out a news anchors spine live on air, it is perhaps understandable as to why humans are more than cautious regarding their safety around these supernatural beings that are much stronger, faster and deadlier.
- Fangtasia isn't a safe haven for vampires as human protesters gather outside. It looks like Hoyt (Jim Parrack) may be on the receiving end of a beating due to his allegiance to Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll).
- The American Vampire League is trying to rectify this issue by winning back humans "one smile at a time". Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) appears to be the poster boy for this campaign looking very dapper in his suit as he smiles and waves to the press.
- Witches are going to pose a major problem for vampires this season, if they can control the dead that means that they can control vampires.
- The witch coven will also be attempting resurrection spells, first on a bird and then on a human. Who will it be?
- Sookie wants to have a reading with medium Marnie (Fiona Shaw), who looks rather reticent to perform this task but later in the coven circle she is definitely in control.
- Sookie will be using her 'microwave fingers' once again but this time on the fairy plain to aid her escape.
- There will be a lot of skin on show (this is True Blood after all), in this promo alone we see Jason (Ryan Kwanten), Sam (Sam Trammell) and Alcide (Joe Manganiello) all shirtless, Jessica in her underwear, newcomer Courtney Ford (who will be playing Andy Bellefleur's sister Portia) getting hot and heavy with someone and a naked Sookie.
- Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) is in a perilous situation once again in the Fangtasia dungeon, this time at the hands of Pam (Kristen Bauer van Straten), is it his involvement with Jesus (Kevin Alejandro), and the coven that has landed him in this position?
- Jason is also in danger (again) as he is tied to a bed with only a werepanther for company.
- Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) is after "everything" from Sookie and tells her that her "blood tastes like sunshine in a pretty blonde bottle."
Questions that are raised:
- Why is Bill also dressed in goth attire? And why does it look like he is feeding on a human if he is the American Vampire League's poster boy?
- Why is Jessica being scanned and what with?
- When Jason jumps down from a tree he looks like he has had a rough time and what/who is he staking?
- Whose house is being blown up and is anyone inside? Arlene (Carrie Preston) sure looks pretty upset.
- What will happen when Bill encounters Marnie? Will she be able to control him?
- When Sookie returns from the fairy plain is it all over for her Grandpa Earl (Gary Cole)?
This promo is definitely packed with images and snippets of scenes that infers that this season is going to be an explosive one, with new enemies and old foes.
