CASTING NEWS: Three New Additions, One Promotion (SPOILERS)

Ausiello reports that True Blood has added three new female characters and promoted one for the upcoming fourth season. Jessica Tuck, vampire PR guru Nan Flanigan, has been promoted to series regular, indicating that we’ll be seeing even more from her and likely more of the vampire political machinations we saw in season 3.

Warning: True Blood season 4 spoilers ahead!

Janina Gavankar

Janina Gavankar (The Gates, The L Word) has signed as Luna, a “super-sexy public school teacher and shapeshifter”. She’s a series regular, so expect to see her all season. She’s also connected to Suzanne McKittrick, the woman whose shindig we suspect Sam runs across in the premiere. Could Luna be Sam’s love interest this season?

Alexandra Breckenridge (Dirt, Life Unexpected) joins the series in a recurring role as Daisy, part of Marnie/Hallow’s wiccan group and Vedette Kim (As the World Turns) also joins in the recurring role of Naomi, the cage fighter who is involved with one of her female competitors.

True Blood season 4 begins filming December 1.
