Brian Buckner has just two words to describe the new season of True Blood: “Power corrupts.”
But he wants us to know that everyone will get their just desserts: “Know this — all of those corrupted by power will see the error of their ways — one way or the other.”

Executive Producer Brian Buckner fills us in with some teases for True Blood Season 6.
Sookie Stackhouse has seen her ex Bill Compton transformed into…something after drinking a vial of gore that once flowed through ancient vampire god Lilith’s veins. Does that make him a god now?
“We prefer prophet. Bill’s more than just vampire and has powers we’ve never seen a vampire have,”
“Bill and Sookie are not going to get on so hot. But their not getting on is kind of awesome.”
What’s not so awesome? Humans declare war on vampires, and Sookie has to contend with the mysterious Warlow, who killed her parents. “Warlow is the oldest vampire we’ve met,” Buckner says. “Killing the Stackhouses — that was nothin’!”
While battles have brought together Sookie and Eric before, this season “she’s looking to date somebody with whom she has more in common,” Buckner teases.

Eliza: We’re less than two months away from the new season of True Blood, so how about some scoop to celebrate?
Well, can the possibility of death really be cause for celebration? Oh, all right. Take it away,
Joe Manganiello: “We’re in the middle of episode six, moving right along. Right now, we still have the big cast with the big table-reads, but pretty soon everybody’s going to start getting knocked off!” Yikes! As for the latest showrunner swap, Manganiello says, “I think with Brian Buckner replacing Alan Ball there’s maybe some hair being let down, maybe some ‘let’s get wild, let’s get crazy!’”

In the first episode of Season 5, you will be introduced to new character Cat Ingersley.
The writer of the episode, Brian Buckner, took the name from some lovely ladies in our art department: Art Director Cat Smith and Production Designer Suzuki Ingerslev. This isn’t the first time a writer has taken liberties like this. Can you find any other names in our credits from previous seasons that may have inspired characters?
mmm who the hell will this be….?
