HBO got pretty busy on Friday, teasing fans with a ton of new images from the show’s upcoming sixth season, which is set to premiere on June 16. With under a month to go before the new episodes appear, the subscription cable network has been busy sending teaser and trailers fan’s way. The set of twenty pictures released via Facebook is really the motherload in terms of giving us a sneak peak at the future of the series, although the images don’t tell us much about where the plot will go.
At the end of True Blood’s fifth season, shit hit the fan with the Authority. The final few scenes offer a pretty big payoff for viewers, as well as a pretty big cliffhanger leading into Season 6. I’m assuming the top image will come sometime early in the season, when Sookie and Tara are dealing with the aftermath of a faction of vampires gone rogue, as well as Lilith’s big choice.
In addition to some action shots, we also get some first looks at some of this season’s newest recurring characters and guest stars. Rutger Hauer’s first image shows about how excellent his character, Niall Brigant, physically looks, with wild hair and a splendid tailored costume. Additionally, we get a first glance at Jurnee Smollett-Bell’s character, Nicole Wright, Arliss Howard’s Governor Truman Burrell, and Rob Kazinksy’s Ben Flynn. Check out tons of other new stills, below.
True Blood's sixth season premieres on June 16 at 9 p.m. ET.
