Rutina Wesley is reborn as a vampire in the fifth season of True Blood.
Sookie Stackhouse and her Southern-friend cohorts return in HBO’s acclaimed vampire-ridden, faerie-flavored, werewolf-wizened gothic horror television series True Blood: The Complete Fifth Season.
Based on the Sookie Stackhouse series of novels by Charlaine Harris, True Blood remains one of HBO’s strongest TV shows as it readies for its Season 6 premiere in June.
Season 5 finds Sookie (Anna Paquin, Margaret) triumphant over her climactic encounter with Marnie (Fiona Shaw, The Tree of Life). However, her showdown with Debbie (Brit Morgan) may have had fatal consequences for Tara (Rutina Wesley). Meanwhile, the denizens of Bon Temps are approaching a new crisis with Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare, The Eagle); Bill (Stephen Moyer, The Double) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard, Straw Dogs) are in deep with the Authority; and new threats from unexpected sources loom.
The Blu-ray/DVD Combo is available as part of HBO’s branded “Blu-ray with HBO Select” package, which includes a Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy of True Blood.
