True Blood Season 2 : What Will Happen in Season Two of True Blood?

Could Bon Temps Be Loosing a Great Cook? Could We Be Gaining a Psychotic Fairy?

True Blood , HBO's breakout series on vampires, has garnered a whole legion of blood sucking fans. A Season 2 was green lit very quickly after the network saw how ratings were progressing. Season 2 of True Blood is currently being filmed, and tid bits of information on what to expect from Bill, Sookie, and Eric are making their way out!

Season one of True Blood left us with the mystery: who's manicured toes were hanging out of Andy Bellfleur's car? While at first sight it looks like it could be a woman's foot, many fans agree that it most likely is our sassy Lafayette. In the season one finale of True Blood we see Lafayette encounter something behind Merlotte's Bar that has him horrified. Putting two and two together, we can kiss Lafayette good bye!

Loosing Nelsen Ellis from the True Blood cast is a huge loss, he is an amazing actor and really does justice for Lafayette's character. (Lafayette wouldn't make a very good vampire, unfortunately!) But, no fear, with loss comes new cast members. Last month HBO announced that Todd Lowe, Deborah Ann Woll , Michelle Forbes and Mehcad Brooks would be joining the cast of True Blood as series regulars.

While most of the casting is straight forward, we do have one character who is considered the mysterious casting. Maryann is the social worker who takes in Tara at the end of season one, and has an odd little conversation with Sam Merlotte. What could she be doing in Bon Temps, and what does it mean for our True Blood world? It is widely accepted that Maryann is most likely the Maenad, a other worldly being who feeds of drunkenness and mayhem. This can't bode well for anyone who lives in her general vicinity!

Eggs Benedict , played by Mechad Brooks, is another new series regular of True Blood. Currently in the True Blood story line he is living in the same house as Maryanne, with Tara . The story line between Sam Merlotte and Tara was totally played out and has run dry, this is Tara's chance at love!

The last and most impressive True Blood series regular casting decision is the role of Jessica. She is a whiney, rebellious teenager, who loves the freedom that Bill has given her, albeit it forced. How is Sookie Stackhouse (Bill's lover) going to handle playing "step mom" to the bratty teen? Will Eric be able to help Bill out and if so, will Bill owe him something for it?

The second season of True Blood is based off of book two of the Southern Vampire Series , and is entitled Living Dead in Dallas. In the books this is a pivotal phase for Sookie because she begins to depart from Bill, and also begins to get to know Eric. Whether or not series producers of HBO's True Blood are going to follow Living Dead in Dallas closely or not, remains to be seen.

True Blood season two is set to air this summer on HBO. This summer is about to get a whole lot hotter!

  • Jason could be joining a new anti vampire cult. Could this be it for him and Sookie?
  • The manicured foot on the dead body in Andy's car is going to be Lafayette!
Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer came out and said they have been dating and together for over a year. They didn't want the news to have any effect on the cast , crew or TV show so they hid it. They both are glad it can be open and in the air now!

    I think the second season will be exciting to watch. I have read all the Sookie Stackhouse books and at first was put off by the True Blood series but it has grown on me. I don't like the Tara character or Jessica's. It will be seen if season 2 can turn me in their fan.
