Fans of HBO’s series “True Blood” can expect changes when the series returns later this year for its second season. Actresss Carrie Preston, who plays Arlene Fowler, told SciFi Wire that the series will delve deeper into its vampire mythology this season.
“Things are going to get a little crazy on the show,” Preston said. “There’s going to be a bunch of new sort of supernatural things that are being introduced. Besides the … the vampires. And, as far as Arlene goes, well, let’s just say that Arlene’s not the type of woman to be single for very long.” Arlene’s last fiance, Rene (Michael Raymond James), was revealed to be the serial killer in last season’s finale and wound up with a shovel in the head.
Fans will find that the series begins to depart from the best-selling series of books as the second season develops.
“So the writers have really taken the groundwork that they set in the first season and kind of launched from that, and they’re fleshing out characters that are minor in the books, and they’re … changing some plot things, and they’ve really made it their own,” she said. “You’re going to see some characters doing things that you’re surprised at, which will be fun. So I think the show is going to kind of keep you on your toes, and there’s several different storylines that are spinning in the air.”
The show will also see a new cast member with Michelle Forbes. Forbes will play a “powerful force” on the show this year.
“She’s going to figure quite prominently this season,” said Preston. “It’s very mysterious, and, I mean, we’re still a little confused as to what her powers actually are.”
