True Blood Season 5 New Trailer

For fans of Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse book series, the new trailer for season 5 of True Blood is sure to leave you scratching your head. This season looks to be the biggest departure from the books, as book #5 of Harris’ found the telepathic waitress reluctantly working with Alcide to help his father become the pack master while a sniper is taking shots at non-humans. Watch the new trailer and it’s evident this season has nothing to do with the book’s main storylines. But, it’s not as though previous seasons of the HBO series have fallen in step with Harris’ books. Usually it’s a matter of taking the absolute most basic idea of Harris’ books and then expanding and venturing off in different – mostly bizarre – directions.

That said, as a fan of Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse (Southern Vampire) series, book #5 wasn’t a particular favorite but season #5 of True Blood looks wickedly entertaining. There’s even the re-introduction of one of the show’s best supporting characters – seen in the very end of this new trailer.
