True Blood Season 4 ‘Waiting Sucks’ Clip: Sam Merlotte

HBO released a neat behind-the-scenes look at Alexander Skarsgård as Eric Northman filming a critical scene from an episode of True Blood: Season 4 just prior to PaleyFest 2011 a week ago. Little did anyone know at the time realize that Eric’s sneak peek was the beginning of something much bigger.

Over the weekend, HBO released a second sneak peek in this ‘Waiting Sucks’ series that ties into the social media campaign that has been running since season 3’s finale. This brief clip, filmed from the vantage point of someone hanging out on the set for episode 4, features Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) on the couch discussing a potential fling or relationship with new character Luna (Janina Gavankar). Sam learns that Luna’s ex-boyfriend is a werewolf which could prove an issue for the shapeshifting bar owner.


HBO is expected to release many more of these ‘Waiting Sucks’ character spotlight videos over the coming weeks and months leading up to True Blood’s anticipated season 4 premiere episode in June. I’ll be sure to pass them along as they’re released.
