‘True Blood’ Season 6 Scoop: Is Eric Waging ‘War’ Against Billith?

Alexander Skarsgard reveals a 'big war' is coming to Bon Temps!

True Blood's fifth season ended on a strange note — a naked, bloody, strange note — leaving Truebies to wonder what will become of King Bill (Stephen Moyer), now that he's evolved into an evil vampire god. And while we still don't have an exact answer, Alexander Skarsgard recently offered up a few hints about season six that should appease our curiosity. For now.

"There's a big war coming up — a big war," Alexander, 36, told Wetpaint Entertainment this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival.

As for whether or not we'll see our bloody, naked king in season six? I think it's safe to say #TeamBill can rest easy.

"Bill will be back, yes," Alexander confirmed, though he couldn't give any specifics.

Of course, it's also possible the "war" in question will be triggered by Warlow, the mysterious vampire responsible for killing Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Jason's (Ryan Kwanten) parents. True Blood creator Alan Ball confirmed the show will "define" Warlow in season six.

Along with Bill and Eric, HollywoodLife.com's sister site TVLine reports that (at least) two new faces will be arriving in Bon Temps this summer.

Former Friday Night Lights star Jurnee Smollett will play Nicole, who's concerned with "doing what's right" more than anything else; and former 90210 actress Amelia Rose Blaire will play Willa, whose father just so happens to be the governor of Louisiana.

Do you predict Bill will be the cause of the "big war" in Bon Temps? Watch Bill's haunting transformation below, then drop a comment with your thoughts and theories about season six!
