Executive producer Alan Ball revealed to TV Line that Meloni will be playing ”an ancient, powerful vampire who holds the fate of Bill and Eric in his hands.”

Meloni previously played the role of Chris Keller​ in the HBO series Oz and will be playing Colonel Hardy in Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman film, Man of Steel.

Following the creation of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. Sookie Stackhouse​ (Anna Paquin​) is a telepath and waitress at Merlotte's in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, owned by Sam Merlotte​ (Sam Trammell​), a shapeshifter—though this secret is kept hidden. One night, Sookie meets Bill Compton​ (Stephen Moyer​), a handsome 173-year-old vampire who has returned to Bon Temps following the death of his last remaining relative.

@Grif...You do realize no one cares what you think anymore, right?
You always complain, and very rude sometimes.
It is a great show. You think anything, and everybody sucks.
How about this; get a life, grow up, and learn to enjoy some things.
Is it possible for you to say one nice thing?
I highly doubt it, but I am just wondering.

God, I hope he didn't leave SVU for this show... though I wouldn't blame him. 10 plus years on the same show must get tedious.

I hope this season can keep my intrest. Last season didn't have the same allure of the previous.
