It's here. The sixth season of "True Blood" is now only a few days away. In anticipation of the vampire drama's return, the cast attended the premiere party in Hollywood on Tuesday. While celebrating the series' return, the stars also took a few moments to discuss the forthcoming season and what fans can expect.
Stephen Moyer informed fans that his character, Bill, who drank the blood of Lilith at the end of season 5, will be out to rediscover himself in the new season. Whether he stays righteous or is seduced by evil, we can't be sure.
"He is out to try and find out what he is and what he can do," Moyer told Hollywood Reporter. "He doesn't know. He doesn't know what his powers are. He doesn't know what his purpose is."
In addition to the new Bill, many new threats will arise, impeding the vampires' lifestyle. "We're at war," said Rutina Wesley, who plays Tara. "They shut down all vampire-run business, there's a curfew. It's really tough to survive."
And they'll have to put up a serious fight for their survival. Wesley, along with co-star Deborah Ann Woll, both commented on the obscene amounts of blood that will stain season 6. "I feel like every other day I'm covered in blood or dirt of some kind," Woll said.
When discussing one particular scene from the premiere episode, Woll said, "by the end of [shooting] I had blood on 75 percent of my body, and it was the kind of thing where a week later I was still finding it in my ears."
And it doesn't stop there. "I have a lot of bruises from shooting a bloody, bloody scene. I had to put some makeup on them," said Anna Camp, who plays Sarah Newlin. "I just shot it last week. It's by far the craziest thing I've ever done."
"True Blood" returns to HBO on Sunday, June 16 at 9 p.m.
