The fifth season of ‘True Blood’ will feature the return of vampire villain Russell Edgington to Bon Temp, which is featured in the second new trailer for the upcoming season of the hit HBO series. TVGuide has released the trailer, and raises the question of who would want to dig up the former King of Mississippi from his concrete grave.

Almost everyone in the trailer is suspected of wanting to dig Russell, played by Denis O’Hare, up, except for Sookie, portrayed by Anna Paquin. Russell is determined to drink Sookie’s faerie blood, as well as drink human blood because he likes it.

Check out the trailer for the new season, which returns on Sunday, June 10 at 9/8c on HBO.
