True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten attended the 2013 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner April 27, 2013. While there, Ryan chatted a little True Blood Season 6 with Fox News. A little is an understatement, since he doesn’t really reveal much, but it’s good to see Ryan out and about and praising the show.

It’s seems like it’s taken forever to actually get some info, but finally below are episode descriptions for the first three episodes of True Blood Season 6. They are sure messing with the titles this year as they have changed them for all three episodes from what was previously reported. We will update our Season 6 Episode Guide with the new titles below.
What we know is that Bill is reincarnated and gets used to his new powers, Eric seems to be dealing with things on a local level, and there is an impending castastrophe. Yikes, looks like things are really getting hot in Bon Temps this year. Can’t wait!
Episode summaries:
Episode 6.01 – “Who Are You, Really?” (formerly, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood)
Bill’s bloody reincarnation ushers in a new era for vampires, faeries and humans alike. (Written by Raelle Tucker; directed by Stephen Moyer.) Playdates: June 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20
PLEASE NOTE: This week the True Blood Music Volume 4 was announced with a full list of songs to be included on the CD. “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” – Eric Burdon with Jenny Lewis is listed on the CD which would make us speculate that this new title might not be correct.
Episode 6.02 – The Sun (formerly, Here Comes the Sun)
Sookie meets a handsome stranger; Eric takes on the governor; Bill contemplates his new powers. (Written by Angela Robinson; directed by Dan Attias.) Playdates: June 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27

Now this is a teaser that you can get your “teeth into.” HBO has just released the video for Season 6 below that it just chocked full of all sorts of great information about the new season.
Let the Speculation Begin!
True Blood Season 6 premieres June 16th at 9pm. Can’t wait!
Here are some screencaps from the video:
Charlaine Harris is ending her popular “Sookie Stackhouse” vampire series, which has sold 24 million copies and got a massive boost from HBO’s “True Blood,” despite passionate objections from her fans, agent and publisher.
Five years ago, Charlaine Harris tried to kill Bill Compton, a handsome, brooding vampire in her best-selling supernatural mystery series. She fatally wounded him with a sword in book nine. But her editor fought back. HBO was launching “True Blood,” a TV show based on Ms. Harris’s books. Killing off a main character and romantic lead could damage the franchise at a moment when millions of new readers were discovering it. Ms. Harris rewrote the scene. Bill got bitten and poisoned, but stayed undead for four more books.
It paid off. The books, which had sold some two million copies before the show, went on to sell 30 million more copies in 35 countries. Ms. Harris’s rabid fan base gobbled up “True Blood”-themed comic books, graphic novels, cook books, and other quirky merchandise, from “I Bill” T-shirts to nail polish, jewelry, candles and bottles of a fake-blood beverage.
But after more than a decade, Ms. Harris, a cheerful 61-year-old grandmother, grew tired of the characters, even as her hyper-dedicated followers lusted for more. She ran out of fresh story lines about her bubbly blond protagonist, Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress who tangles with an ever-expanding supernatural cast of vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters, demons, goblins, elves, witches and fairies. She struggled to keep track of the convoluted mythology she’d invented. Things that used to excite her, like unveiling new supernatural creatures, started to feel stale.
So Ms. Harris decided to shut down the lucrative franchise she created. When the 13th book, “Dead Ever After,” hits bookstores next week, it will mark the end of the Sookie Stackhouse series.
Many of her fans, however, aren’t close to satiated. Thousands of readers have written her and begged her to keep the story going. Some have taken to taunting Ms. Harris in emails and online forums, saying she’ll regret her decision. One fan threatened to commit suicide if the ending doesn’t meet her expectations.
“I’m very fortunate that people are so invested in the series,” Ms. Harris says. “At the same time, it can be a source of some anxiety to get emails that say, ‘If Sookie doesn’t end up with Eric, I’m going to kill myself.’ “
The prickly dynamic between Ms. Harris and some of her followers highlights how hard it can be to kill a successful series. For the first time in years, Ms. Harris isn’t touring to promote the book. She doesn’t want to be berated by readers who hate the ending or want vampire spinoffs.

Alexandra Alter reports in the video below about the series ending:
Alexander Skarsgård recently talked to Inquisitr about his new film, “What Maisie Knew” and the interviewer obviously couldn’t resist asking a couple of question about True Blood. That portion of the interview is provided below.
We here at The Vault couldn’t imagine that his character of Eric would possibly be killed off and therefore don’t believe the rumors that have been circulating the internet saying that it might happen. Sadly however, even though the interviewer asked Alexander that question outright, he didn’t provide any information to help dispel those rumors.
THE INQUISITR: Do you feel like the True Blood books are following your character’s arc well?
SKARSGARD: At this point I think we’ve kind of gone on a different path. It’s based on the world and the characters, and in the beginning we follow book by book. The season would be based on that book, and the third season would be based on the third book, but now it’s taken on a life of its own. I think it has to because otherwise what’s the point of watching the show if you can just read the books? It has to have its own identity.THE INQUISITR: There’s this terrible rumor going around that your character on True Blood is going to get killed off. Is that true?
SKARSGARD: I obviously can’t say [LAUGHS]

We’ve yet to learn what the title of this season’s eighth episode will be, but Spoiler TV got a tiny little snippet that we just had to share. All we know is that:
For episode 6.08 of True Blood, the guest role of Funeral Director is being cast.
Presumably the funeral director might also be in episode 7 which is titled “The Funeral,” but as Episode 8′s title is still unknown we can’t be sure if they relate.
