The second season of HBO's True Blood kicks off tonight and doesn't waste any time jumping into the scary murder madness that has engulfed the citizens of Bon Temps.

Most of this year's vampire-centric projects aren't hitting screens till Fall — which means True Blood gets the Summer all to itself. The HBO show is one of my favorite reasons to keep your TV on this season, and there's not much longer to wait: The show's second season premieres on Sunday.
To celebrate, I've got four new clips from the season premiere — and while I'm sure they only hint at what's to come, they're some pretty good hints.

The new promotional video for season two of HBO's vampire series True Blood (following an earlier preview clip) is everything you'd expect from this series: sexy and bloody. There are no words, just Bob Dylan singing his smooth and bluesy single, "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'," but the visuals say a lot.
For example, it looks like Jason is getting down and doing some praying, signaling he's serious about finding his religion as suggested at the end of season one.

I was jealous of the folks at the Paley Festival in LA last week when they got to see a sneak peek of the second season of True Blood. Well, kudos to HBO for slipping this clip out to the rest of us, because it's a dark and creepy first look at season two of the vampire series.
The clip focuses on Sookie, Bill, and Bill's new little vampire girl, Jessica.
