I checked out of last season of HBO’s “True Blood” a little before the halfway mark – and I’m sure this is a case of “fool me 6 times, shame on you” – but this teaser actually looks kind of fun. Can they sustain this high stakes go-for-broke attitude throughout the upcoming season? I doubt it. But we can hope. Plus? Jessica.

Season 6 picks up immediately after last year’s bloody finale, which found Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) attempting to escape a very scary–and very naked–Bill (Stephen Moyer, who also directed the premiere episode). Joining the “True Blood” regulars this year are guest stars Rutger Hauer, Arliss Howard, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Rob Kazinsky, Karolina Wydra, Luke Grimes, and Amelia Rose Blaire.

Prepare for battle on June 16.
