The wait is nearly over for fans of HBO's hit series, True Blood, as the program is set for its highly anticipated Season 6 return in less than a month.

The popular vampire show will be bringing in its upcoming installment with a slew of brand new characters, including Brothers & Sisters standout Rob Kazinksy (Ben Flynn) whose role was revealed by Dread Central.

The site stated that the Ben character will be a "moderately powerful" faerie that will be down on his luck. However, Sookie (Anna Pacquin) is said to come along to rescue and nurse him back to full health, leading to romantic sparks flying "literally and figuratively" between the two.

To the fortune of TVD loyalists, a promo photo of Sookie, Tara (Rutina Wesley), and Nora (Lucy Griffiths) has made its way onto the Internet, as TVLine had posted a handful of pictures on the upcoming season.

In other True Blood news, the show will only be airing 10 episodes this season as opposed to its usual 12. It's set to make its return on Sunday, June 16 on the HBO network.

Keep checking back for more of the latest details on the cable network TV series.
