It's Official: Chris Meloni Joins True Blood as a Series Regular

The buzz around the internet has been that True Blood has been in contact with Law and Order: SVU's Chris Meloni. And today it was announced that Meloni will indeed join the cast as a season regular for season 5!

Alan Ball says Meloni will be "An ancient, powerful vampire who holds the fate of Bill and Eric in his hands.” Can't wait to see what that means exactly.

True Blood doesn’t have an official premiere date for Season 5, but at this point we can probably expect the series to return June 2012.
