"Based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris, True Bloodis HBO's sexy, scary, wildly entertaining drama series from Oscar and Emmy-winner Alan Ball (Six Feet Under). In addition to returning cast favorites -- human/faerie waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), her vampire suitors Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard), soul-searching pal Tara (Rutina Wesley), shape-shifting boss Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), rakish brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten), clairvoyant Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) and teen-vamp Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) -- Season Five introduces a whole new wave of otherworldly characters.
There's Vampire Guardian Roman (Christopher Meloni), president of the Vampire Authority, who wants co-existence between humans and vampires; vampire zealot Salome (Valentina Cervi), intent on recreating the world in God's vampyric image; Authority Chancellor Nora (Lucy Griffiths), who shares the same maker as Eric; werewolves J.D. and Martha (Louis Herthum and Dale Dickey), who want a reluctant Alcide (Joe Manganiello) to take his rightful place as packmaster; and many more. Mixing romance, suspense, mystery and humor, True Blood Season Five goes deep into the battle between the Vampire Authority and "vampire fundamentalists," a political power play whose outcome could decide not only the fate of Sookie and her Bon Temps friends, but of all human existence."
