The fate of all humanity is at stake in the fifth season of this unique, bold, and undeniably sexy series. While Sookie deals with Tara's shooting and her own unpredictable faerie powers, Bill and Eric find themselves called into action by the Vampire Authority. Alcide battles new werewolves J.D. and Martha; Sam searches for shifter murderers; and Jason struggles with his attraction to Jessica. It all adds up to a wicked, bloody climax between the Authority and the bloodthirsty vampire fundamentalists that will affect the lives of everyone living and dead in this unrelenting, action-packed season of HBO's otherworldly phenomenon.
