‘Tr
ue Blood” storylines are locked up tight during the daylight hours, but it appears that a female character will end up six feet under by season’s end.
That’s what fans are taking away from a trailer released yesterday for the upcoming season of the smash-hit series.

In the 14-second teaser, Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) is seen bruised and bloody, fighting with a shirtless ruffian and screaming, “Who sent you?” as Sookie Stackhouse wields a revolver.
However, it’s another Merlotte waitress, Arlene Fowler (played by Carrie Preston), that fans believe to be the lady who won’t live to see another season.
Arlene has been at death’s door before — during both the first and second season finales. Adding fuel to the fire, Carrie just signed a multi-episode deal with CBS’ “The Good Wife” and her husband told E! Online, “something shocking happens to Arlene [this season].”
HBO plans to dole out new 15- to 20-second teasers every Sunday night for the next few weeks to keep speculation going about the vampire opera, which has turned into the cable network’s signature series.
