With the new season of True Blood in full swing, things have really started to get interesting. All sorts of cool things are happening to our favorite vampires, and vampire lovers, and this season looks to just keep getting better.

We’ve got some previews for this Sunday’s new episode to share with you today. In them you get a taste of what’s in store for Sookie, Eric, Bil, Pam, Jason and the rest of the gang. Looks like a great episode. And yes, we realize the pic above is from last week’s episode. We just like it, so there.

Check out all the videos after the break. A new True Blood episode hits HBO on Sunday at 9/8C.

It’s Friday again so that means it’s time for previews of one of our favorite shows on TV: HBO’s True Blood. If you haven’t been watching True Blood, you’re really missing out on a great show full of drama, sex, violence, werwolves, shape shifters and, of course, vampires. The non-shimmering kind, thank goodness.

This time around we’ve got three, count ’em, three previews for Sunday’s all-new episode. The episode, entitled “I’m Alive and on Fire”, continues the story of Bill’s reign as King of Louisiana, Eric’s memory problems, the witches that are starting to be a big problem and Sookie’s desperate attempts to just feel normal and have a regular life.

The clips, which are “Alcide comes to Sookie’s Aid”, “Bill Questions Pam” and “Marnie is asked to Reverse the Spell” are some good examples of the kind of drama this show entails. They don’t give away too much but just serve to whet your appetite for more. Of course, that’s just what they are intended to do right?

Check out all the videos after the break. True Blood airs Sunday at 9/8C on HBO.

It looks like at least one new cast member has already gotten a big benefit from the recent announcement of True Blood’s renewal for a fourth season. According to Deadline, everyone’s favorite new werewolf Alcide — aka actor Joe Manganiello — has been given the word he will become a show regular for the new season.

Originally only supposed to appear in a handful of episodes this season, the actor supposedly so impressed the show’s producers and was embraced by True Blood fans that his role was expanded. Obviously, this is something I’m sure the actor is thrilled about.

With some original cast members supposedly being killed this season, it makes sense that the show’s producers will need fresh, um, blood to fill in. With all the hype these days surrounding vampires and werewolves it makes sense that this character would get the nod.

Who knows, maybe the show is setting up some kind of super love triangle (Or love square?) between Sookie, Bill, Eric and Alcide? If done right, that could prove very interesting indeed.

Maybe we will get some more news during True Blood‘s panel at Comic-Con? If so, we’ll be sure to bring it to you.

With only two episodes aired for season three so far, HBO has already given the green light for a fourth season of Alan Ball’s vampire series True Blood. The announcement, given by HBO’s programing president Michael Lombardo, will give the series a new season of twelve episodes and follow the continuing adventures of your favorite residents of Bon Temps, LA.

The series, based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charliane Harris and featuring Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgard, had a very successful premiere episode and scored a 38% ratings increase over last year’s season two opener. Obviously, this was enough to convince HBO to give the show another season.

“The new season of True Blood is off to a terrific start, as enthusiasm for this unique show continues to build among both subscribers and critics,” noted Lombardo.

This is great news for fans of the show (like me) and with the series going into some new and interesting directions so far this year, I can’t wait to see where it all ends up. The series will begin production of new episodes early next year in Los Angeles, with a season four debut set for summer 2011.
