Looks like someone just struck one of HBO's arteries!  Details, photos and previews of HBO's forthcoming summer premiere of 'True Blood' season 5 have been a little slow and coming, but with the latest outpouring of photos, we've gotten our best look yet at all the blood-sucking action.  Take a taste, if you dare!

Our first look at a full round of photos for 'True Blood' season 5 not only gives us a peek at all our favorite Bon Temps residents, but also provides a first look at some of the incredible guest stars to be featured when the series premieres Sunday, June 20 on HBO.  Below you'll see not only 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit' star Christopher Meloni as a member of the American Vampire League, but also former '300' and 'Spartacus: Vengeance' star Peter Mensah as one of his cohorts.

Also joining them are 'Hell on Wheels' star Christopher Heyerdahl, as well as Carolyn Hennesy and Lucy Griffiths, and young Jacob Hopkins among the vampires in the circle.  Plus, who could forget Michael McMillian as a newly-sired Steve Newlin, first appearing back in season 4's "And When I Die" to terrorize Jason Stackhouse!

You'll see all your favorites, as well as the new faces in the twenty photos below, so check 'em out, and be sure to stay tuned for more 'True Blood' news before the fifth season premieres on HBO June 10!
