SPOILERS: Which True Blood Star Is Headed to CBS?

Ausiello just scooped that a True Blood regular is heading from L.A. to New York to film a multi-episode arc on the CBS series The Good Wife. Who is it? Carrie Preston (Arlene), the sassy waitress who almost married a serial killer. But before Truebies start to worry that Arlene meets her maker this season, Ausiello quotes an insider who says, “Arlene isn’t a major presence in the third book. A lot of the action takes place outside of Bon Temps, so [Carrie] probably had some free time on her hands.” Of course those who have read the books know Arlene probably isn’t leaving True Blood for good any time soon, but it’s nice to have some assurances.

Meanwhile, on The Good Wife, Carrie will play Elspeth Mann, a member of Peter’s (Chris Noth) legal team.
