‘True Blood’ season 6 spoilers: When will death come knocking?

If you are a massive “True Blood” fan, then everything that is coming out right now about season 6 has probably given you a few reasons to start shaking in your boots. All spring long, we’ve heard whispers that there will be a massive death that takes place at some point, but what may be a surprise to you is that it will arrive on the show a little bit earlier than you would expect.

Traditionally, we see the biggest events for just about any show take place during the season finales, since there has to be something pretty spectacular to keep you watching the following year. However, E! News is claiming now that this death is going to occur in the second half of this season, but not on the finale. Given that one of the later episodes of season 6 has the word “funeral” in it, this is probably just about in line with what you would expect.

So who is the most likely candidate to end up losing their life? Really, anyone other than Sookie Stackhouse could feasibly be in danger, since she is probably the only person at this point that the show actually needs to keep around. However, it would surely not be a surprise if the person leaving is someone who has a bevy of opportunities out there away from the show, and they want to try and pursue them after spending some much time working with HBO every year.

Are you nervous already about who could end up dying on the show? If you want to catch the first extended trailer for “True Blood” season 6 (if you haven’t already), all you have to do is visit the link here. The new season of “True Blood” premieres on Sunday, June 16 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time.
