True Blood Premieres Tonight: 10 Things To Expect

True Blood is back tonight! Last summer’s season finale ended with the epic destruction of Bill (Stephen Moyer) when he drank the blood of the vampire Lilith. In the premiere episode of season six, debuting tonight on HBO at 9 p.m., the aftermath sets in. Bill is scarier than ever as he wreaks havoc on Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and her gang. "He is pretty mean," Moyer told InStyle.com at the show's premiere in Los Angeles this week. "He is out to find out what he is and what he can do and he doesn’t know. He doesn’t know what his powers are. He doesn’t know what his purpose is." Scroll down to find out more of what you can look out for this season.

"The last thing he did was, you could sort of say, a selfish act, he drank the blood," he said at the premiere. "He didn’t know what that would do, he just knew he couldn’t let go of that point. And from then on you are finding out just as the same time what he is as he is finding out."2.
