SPOILERS: True Blood Season 5 Casting News

The first piece of True Blood season 5 casting news is out, and it’s AWESOME! Following in the steps of Lara Pulver, who starred in the BBC’s [easyazon-link asin=”B003ORC54U”]Robin Hood[/easyazon-link] series, True Blood is welcoming Lucy Griffiths to Bon Temps! Lucy played Maid Marion in the first two seasons of the British fantasy series, and I loved her!

Lucy will be playing Nora, an ancient vampire who was sired by Godric, making her Eric Northman’s “sister”. Per the casting call, Nora is a double-agent within the Vampire Authority. She is described as intelligent and cool under pressure. She loves Eric deeply, but has dedicated herself to a higher purpose (taking down the Authority?).
