Returning to the small-screen June 10th is “True Blood” for its fifth and possibly final season, and to get you all lathered up, HBO has released a new promo poster and video for the hit vampire skein. On one hand the message is “Waiting Sucks,” yet in the same breath we’re told, “Don’t Cry, It’s Back.” Make of it what you will…

Thanks to a Japanese scientist’s invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight.

Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell, Ryan Kwanten, Rutina Wesley, Nelsan Ellis, Alexander Skarsgard, Deborah Ann Woll, Camilla Luddington (below), Janina Gavankar, Jacob Hopkins, Carolyn Hennesy, Christopher Meloni, Peter Mensah, Christopher Heyerdahl, Scott Foley, Lucy Griffiths, Dale Dickey, Louis Herthum, Valentina Cervi and Kelly Overton all comprise the mega ensemble.
