TRUE BLOOD: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON - With vampires, shapeshifters, and werewolves, the seductive world of True Blood®
continues to grow each season, and the thrill ride continues when True Blood®: The Complete Third Season comes out
on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download from HBO Home Entertainment on May 31, 2011. Streeting just weeks before
the highly-anticipated fourth season premiere on HBO®, True Blood: The Complete Third Season is packaged in five-
disc DVD and Blu-ray Disc sets that include all 12 episodes, along with extensive bonus materials for the suggested retail
price of $59.99 and $79.98 respectively.
Sexy, scary and wildly entertaining, True Blood has been “difficult to resist” (Daily Variety) and “a complete and total
turn-on” (The Washington Post) for fans and critics alike since it premiered on HBO in 2008. Season three finds Bill
kidnapped and Sookie heading to Mississippi to find him. There she becomes entangled in a world ruled by a powerful
Vampire King and the werewolves who do his bidding. Meanwhile, back in Bon Temps, new threats emerge that make
previous problems seem tame by comparison. Created and Executive Produced by Alan Ball (Emmy®-winning creator of
HBO series Six Feet Under®), the Emmy® and Golden Globe®-winning series is based on the popular “Sookie Stackhouse”
novels by Charlaine Harris.
