HBO has released the first batch of True Blood season 3 photos and boy is it nice to see our gang in action again! First up we have Alexander Skarsgard as Eric and his right hand gal, Kristin Bauer as Pam.

Pam is looking fierce!

Followed by Sookie with Alcide, Eric and Jessica (but not at the same time; it’s not that kind of show. Oh wait…).

Alcide and Sookie look surprised...and like they're from the '90s.

Is it getting hot in here? Love the jut of Sookie's jaw as she faces Eric.

Is Sookie offering advice to Jessica? Aww.

Now for some handsome new faces: Russell Edgington, Talbot, Franklin Mott and Tommy Mickens.

I suspect Russell is an Anglophile.

Wow! No wonder Russell has stayed with Talbot for 700 years!

Photo of James Frain as Franklin Mott on True Blood

Remember the description of Franklin Mott? "Sexy, sexy, sexy!" I think they nailed it.

Photo of Sam Trammell as Sam Merlotte and Marshall Allman as Tommy Mickens on True Blood

What do you think Sam is telling his half-brother? It doesn't look like Tommy is listening. Typical.

And let’s catch up with of our other favorites with photos of Arlene, Bud & Andy, Pam and Jessica, and Lafayette and Tara.

There's a group that looks worried about something. Is Sheriff Bud wearing his pajama shirt?

Is Pam giving Jessica style tips? Please, please let it be so!

The cousins don't look very happy here. Are they visiting Ruby Jean?

And, because we wanted to bookend this post with hunkiness, Bill!

Bill lives! Or at least he's still undead. And it looks like he is in the place where Russell is riding the horse.

HBO hasn’t released season 3 photos for Jason, Hoyt, Terry, or the other characters yet, but as soon as they do, we’ll post them for you. In the meantime, how giddy are you for these first looks at the new season of True Blood? For larger versions, just click the photos.
