Here’s a clever HBO spot letting everyone know that Season 3 of True Blood is indeed in production. More on that below.

True Blood – Episode 3.04 – ’9 Crimes’ – Casting Call
The casting call for True Blood Episode 3.04 has been released.

Titled “9 Crimes” (from the 2006 piano pop song by Damien Rice), Episode 4 of Season 3 introduces the character that in interviews Alan Ball has expressed the most enthusiasm for.

Yes folks, Debbie Pelt (got to love the last name but if you are in the dark, you won’t be after getting acquainted with her) is being cast for this episode. She’s Alcide’s’ ‘beloved ex’ and a ‘V’ (vampire blood) addict to boot! The character is described as being in her late 20s, appearing “strung out and stubborn.”

This description supplies only an inkling of what Ms. Pelt is like. I can’t wait to see who they cast because she’ll need gravitas. This is a recurring character.

Alcide’s sister is also being cast. Janice is described as “(age) 32, fit and tough as nails… She fancies biker gear, horoscopes and psychics and is protective of her little brother.”

AB and Co. have cooked up another entirely new character in “Kitch Maynard”. Kitch is a “17-year-old… new high school football star and hometown hero, which he enjoys rubbing in Jason’s face.” (Isn’t Jason like 30 y.o.? Why would he care?) Kitch is a recurring character. This description also states that Kitch might participate in some “Possible car ass type nudity.” Is that legal?!

Kitch has an admirer, “Donny,” who works the road crew with Jason while “he kisses up to Kitch, the new high school football star…”

Rounding out this trio is “Tammy,” age 16. She is “Kitch’s hot girlfriend who drives around with him in his sports car and giggles at Kitch’s rudeness.”

This episode also calls for fresh blood in the form of an exotic stripper, “Ann,” who is described as striking-looking, scantily clad and “dead behind the eyes.” Ann performs topless and will be glamoured and devoured by three vampires.
Um, wow.

Injecting some Christianity into this episode is “Chip Welling, a clean-cut, all-American Christian boy recognizes Jessica from Bible study. He’s relieved to see her alive.” Boy, is Chip in for a surprise! Should be fun.

I’m not sure if it’s been announced if the were village of Hotshot, which was in the books, will be part of the show. The characters who reside there seem to be taking shape–like Felton Norris–described as “in his early 20s and a violent young punk.” He’s a relative of the cooler-headed Calvin Norris. Felton strips Lafayette’s car and helps beat up Lafayette.”

Oh noes! Lafayette is gonna get pummeled again? He gets smacked around almost as much as Sookie does!
