HBO have released the first teaser trailer video for True Blood Season 5, which returns to our screens this coming summer. You can watch the teaser preview video below which carries the warning “In Bon Temps, Nothing Stays Buried Forever” and most seem to suggest it is hinting that Russle Edginton (Dennis O’Hare) will be making his return to the show…

I’m sure that preview should be enough to get many of you salivating at the mouth in anticipation of seeing more but sadly there’s no actual footage on display.

The fifth season which returns on an as-yet announced date in the summer will consist of 12 new episodes, though creator Alan Ball has said he will only produce the show from here on in and won’t write or direct any future episodes.

Are you looking forward to the return of True Blood or do you think by now the show has run it’s course and the vamp undead should be put out of its misery and staked in the heart?
