New TRUE BLOOD Promo Offers a Look at Pam, Lafayette, and Tara; Season Premiere Date Confirmed

After several weeks of casting updates and a couple of teaser trailers, HBO has released a new behind the scenes clip giving fans a glimpse at Pam, Lafayette, Tara, and newcomer Marnie.

Fiona Shaw joins the cast of True Blood as a series regular playing the role of Marnie who is described as "a mousy, timid and secretly self loathing storefront medium and palm reader who is taken over by the spirit of a powerful witch." Fans may recognize the actress as Harry Potter's aunt Petunia Dursley from the Harry Potter films. The character of Marnie was originally written to be for a younger actress but is being adjusted for Shaw

Executive Producer Gregg Fienberg confirmed to True Blood.net that the premiere date for season four will be June 26 at 9pm, also saying, "I found a fan-made poster yesterday, saying the premiere date was June 12th, but the truth is now out! It’s not great that you have to wait an additional two weeks, but then it’s continuous, with no breaks, which will really keep the momentum of the show going. I know I don’t like waiting an extra week between my favorite shows. So it’s starting later, but ending at the same time. We’re really excited!"

True Blood stars Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Alexander Skarsgard, Ryan Kwanten, Sam Trammell, Rutina Wesley, Deborah Ann Woll, Joe Manganiello, and Nelsan Ellis. For more True Blood spoiler highlights, click HERE.
