The summer has arrived. The winter cobwebs have been lifted, and now heavy heat begins to sink in. Some embrace the warm months, while others dread the inescapable heat. One way to cool yourself at least is by sinking into your couch in a well air conditioned room, grabbing the remote and putting on one of your favorite television shows. Now that summer's here, so are the season's hottest series. One in particular, HBO's "True Blood," is getting plenty of heat.
The season 6 premiere may still be a couple weeks away, but that doesn't mean the preemptive vampire drama hasn't already hyped up fans. Official episode synopses, interviews with the cast and several trailers have provided fans with an early look at what's to come, and as TV Line recently reported, it's going to be hotter than ever.
In the first two episodes, "there's a pivotal death, a threesome, a Hoyt shout-out, all kinds of fancy new anti-vampire weaponry and a horrifying glimpse into the future that may or may not foreshadow this." Well, it can't get much more exciting than that.
Not only that, but TV Line also shed some light on how Jurnee Smollett-Bell from "Friday Night Lights" will tie into the season. It's now confirmed that she will be playing an activist with the Vampire Unity Society (V. U. S.) by the name of Nicole who sets her sights on someone in town. Check out the episode one synopsis below.
True Blood Ep. 1 Who Are You, Really?

Now packmaster, Alcide (Joe Manganiello) discovers that the job comes with unsavory side dishes, but other major perks. In Bon Temps, Andy (Chris Bauer) deals with parenting four newborn human-faerie hybrids. Meanwhile, Louisiana Governor Truman Burrell (Arliss Howard) vows open season on vampires. Jessica returns to Compton Place as Jason hitches a ride with an eerie stranger.
