i was just on netflix and found a link to add season 3 in my queue. here is what it says:

True Blood: Season 3
(2010) TV-MA

The conflicted vampires of rural Louisiana continue their disarming blend of eerie charm and violent bloodlust in the third season of this acclaimed HBO drama produced by Alan Ball (American Beauty). As barmaid Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) considers a relationship with vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård), she also confronts werewolves and learns the truth about her own supernatural gift of reading minds.

That sounds like a whole lot of interesting.

The Dead Shall Rise Again! (or something like that)

[Show spoiler]

Vampire sheriff Godric was one of my favorite characters from True Blood's second season. As played by Allan Hyde, Godric was a wise, sensitive and progressive bloodsucker who felt compelled to atone for his sins and for the sins of his people. Last time we saw the peaceful vamp, he was bursting into flame on top of a Houston high-rise.

"That's too bad," I thought at the time. "I really liked that guy."

Did anyone else feel the same way? If so, head after the jump for some spoilery news that's sure to make you smile.

It looks like we might see more of Godric in True Blood's third season. E!'s Kristen says the show's writers are considering exploring Godric's 1,000-year history with Eric though flashbacks.

This sounds like a great idea. I'd love to see how the wicked and feral Godric we saw in last season's flashback became a stoic and merciful leader. And I'd love to see Eric in the role of naïve student learning from one of the oldest vampires on the show.

What do you say, True Blooders? Do you want to see Erik and Godric's story play out in season three?

Yup. Very nice. I was a little upset that she kinda - went away for a bit in the last season.

CASTING NEWS

Sam's Mom & Brother are going to be played by (two different people, of course lol )

[Show spoiler]True Blood has tapped Tony-nominated actress J. Smith-Cameron to play the recurring role of Sam’s estranged mother, Melinda.

In addition to her many Broadway roles, Cameron has appeared on Law & Order, Six Degrees, and K Street.

As previously described in this very column, Melinda is dirt-poor, hungover, and trashy-looking. Prison Break’s Marshall Allman is on board to play her son (and Sam’s younger sib.) Still-to-be-cast is Melinda’s equally filthy hubby, Joe Lee.

And a new character to show up who's connecting with Tara

[Show spoiler]Something tells me Tara’s going to fly through her five stages of grief when True Blood returns next summer.

Tudors star James Frain has just been cast in the heavily recurring role of Franklin Mott, Tara’s over-protective vampire squeeze, sources confirm to me exclusively.

The English actor, whose TV credits include recurring roles on Invasion (as Eli) and 24 (as Paul Raines), will debut in the second episode of the show’s upcoming third season.

The casting breakdown for the role describes Franklin as a tall, dark, and handsome vampire who seems to have an “immediate and torrid” connection to Tara. In the books, Franklin is essentially Tara’s sugar daddy, but I’m guessing Alan Ball is taking the character in a different direction.
