If
you’ve ever heard the phrase Fangbanger or have the overwhelming urge to say
“You are mine” in a deep seductive southern accent, then it’s most likely
you’re a fan of author Charlaine Harris’ The Southern Vampire Mysteries AKA The
Sookie Stackhouse Novels AKA True Blood (wow that a lot of AKA’s.) and most
likely an even bigger fan of the hit HBO series. With that being said, one
could argue that True Blood played a huge part to the recent successes of
vampire lore being a popular topic in all forms of media today. And with the
series being at an all-time high in ratings and popularity what could possibly
make the show even more interesting? Well how about some new faces added to the
cast for the next season? Yep that’s right, Deadline reports that
two new actors have been cast for the 5th season of True Blood. At the moment
the creators have been mum on anything regarding the production of next season
including what direction the general plot will be taking next year. However,
with that being said, Deadline acquired an expulsive regarding the two new
additions to the cast. Actress Kelly Overton and actor Louis Herthum will be
joining the cast next year with each getting a 6 to 7 episode story arc next
season.
Overton, will play a dirty, beautiful werewolf named Rikki who
demands to know what’s become of the pack leader.
Herthum, will play a particularly large Marine-type werewolf who
refuses to bow down before the new pack leader.
Meanwhile
there is still no official word by the creators or not if season 5 will in fact
be the shows last season or not. As hinted by the creators early this year,
there have been some hints at the possibility that season 5th may or
may not be the last season for the hit HBO show. For now Trubies will just have
to wait it out until official word on the subject does come down the wire, If
and when word does arise you can bet we will report it.
Side Tidbit: I’m probably going to get some heat from this but I honestly don’t care, if you think Twilight is what Vampires are, then you know nothing about vampires and don’t deserve to call yourself a fan of the lore.
