Raelle Tucker Teases True Blood Season 5 (SPOILERS)

By  |  87 Comments

True Blood writer Raelle Tucker (she wrote “And When I Die”) gave EW.com some scoop on season 5, including which characters are returning and some hints on new characters. Here’s the gist:

Returning

  • Patrick: “His arc has to do with Terry’s past coming back to haunt Bon Temps and Arlene and their life they’re trying to set up together.”
  • Russell:  “Russell is not dead,” says Tucker. “It’s safe to assume the king of Mississippi is not gone for good.”
  • Steve:  “I will say that Steve’s reason for returning to Jason is not at all what you expect.”
  • Fairies: “Season 5 will explore more fairies, new fairies, fairies in a way you haven’t really seen fairies. We will all, as well as Sookie, come to understand fairies more than in previous seasons.”
New
  • Female Vampire: “There will be a very significant, strong, mysterious woman at the center of one of our main stories next year. That will be a very familiar and compelling character. It may be someone you’ve heard of before.”
  • Werewolf: The identity of the wolf seen growling at Sam (Sam Trammell) in the final moments will be revealed — and, according to Tucker, is “someone you have never met before.”
Raelle also teased that the consequences of Bill & Eric killing Nan will follow them into next season, and “While there will always be romance in Sookie’s life, Sookie at the moment is choosing herself over all of them.”  Is that a hint that Quinn is coming?
