"You know what? You're the angel of death."

Another day, another body to bury. Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) sets the mood for the new season of True Blood with a stern lecture to his best friend Sookie (Anna Paquin), claiming that bodies pile up wherever she goes. Harsh, but true. And since Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare) is back and pissed off, we can expect a much higer body count this time around…

The big question is: Who dug up the former King of Mississippi? Lots of suspects to consider, and Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) doesn't trust any of them. And Russell is clearly out for revenge, because as Roman (Christopher Meloni) says: "Suffering does not cure the appetite for power."

To sneak a peek at a whole new season of blood, vamps, werewolves and Sookie finally harnessing her powers, check out the just-released trailer below!

True Blood returns to HBO on Sunday, June 10.
