Fans and Fangs Gather for the True Blood Ultimate Fan Experience

Fans and Fangs Gather for the True Blood Ultimate Fan Experience

In anticipation of the season three premiere, the pride of Bon Temps takes to New York.



It's so close we can almost taste it! True Blood is set to return on June 13th and fans are chomping at the bit for the return to Bon Temps. So what better way to work fangbangers into a frenzy than to host an "Ultimate Fan Experience" right here in New York city.

Showrunner Alan Ball and cast members Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Rutina Wesley, Ryan Kwanten, Alexander Skarsgard, Sam Trammell and Deborah Ann Woll were in the house to spill on season three with scoopmeister Michael Ausiello moderating the evening.

According to Ausiello, the third episode of the new season will feature what may be "the most twisted, ahem, sex scene in television history." That intel coupled with the following comment from Skarsgard on his growing attraction to Sookie makes us wonder...

"There's something very different about Sookie and he can't quite put his finger on it. That's very intriguing for him. He really wants to pursue that and figure out what she is. She is different. And I think he enjoys the game with Bill at the beginning, because Bill is very protective of her. It's kind of fun for Eric to play with that. But the attraction is definitely deeper than that — it's definitely not a game for Eric anymore," said Skarsgard.

And as expected, showrunner Alan Ball, the man holding all the cards, had lots to say about what fans can look forward to this summer in Bon Temps. "One of the people seated here tonight will get new hair. There are creatures besides werewolves that we'll meet. Someone's going to take their clothes off. We'll see a bit of a dark side from some of our characters who we wouldn't expect it from, including Ms. Stackhouse. We'll see a dark side to Sookie."

Vampires with a dark side? Now that's a first.
