Buzz Sugar Lists The New Characters For Season Four
Get to Know True Blood's New Characters
Shannon Vestal
The wait for True Blood's season premiere is almost over, but when we pick back up in Bon Temps, we're not just going to be reunited with our favorite returning characters. There is a stable of fresh faces playing new characters in season four, all of whom will stir things up in one way or another, whether it's as villains, victims, or love interests. The series is already packed with vampires, werewolves, fairies, and now witches, so I put together a handy guide to get you acquainted with the new players before they hit season four. Check out who the newbies are, who's playing them, and why you might recognize them.
