The one-and-a-half minute teaser features Anna Paquin’s Sookie facing judgment from the citizens of Bon Temps as their town comes under siege, as well as flashbacks to the first season. And, of course, there’s also plenty of bloody violence and sex that _True_ fans have come to expect from the vampire drama. The ominous trailer—set to the tune of The Wright Brothers’ “Blood on My Name”—also offers glimpses of Stephen Moyer’s Bill Compton and Sam Trammell‘s Sam Merlotte, though there’s no sign of Alexander Skarsgard’s Eric Northman, who is set to return. The seventh and final season of _True Blood_ kicks off June 22. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/104411/watch-the-trailer-for-true-bloods-final-season/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/104411/watch-the-trailer-for-true-bloods-final-season/"},"headline":"Watch The Trailer For True Blood's Final Season","datePublished":"2014-05-19T12:06:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:54:52.697Z","description":"The seventh season trailer for HBO's vampire drama is filled with plenty of blood, sex and fear","url":"https://time.com/104411/watch-the-trailer-for-true-bloods-final-season/","keywords":["Television","HBO","Trailer","Trailers","True Blood"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/104411/watch-the-trailer-for-true-bloods-final-season/","name":"Watch The Trailer For True Blood's Final Season"}}]}] ```
