We are just 2 days away from the season 4 premiere of True Blood on HBO and to celebrate, Entertainment Weekly magazine has the principal cast of the show on the cover of this week’s issue. The cast aren’t featured on just one cover, there are 3 collectible True Blood covers for this week’s issue of EW magazine. The covers are themed on the famous American Gothic painting by Grant Wood. Click below to check ‘em out.

Playing the smoking hot vampire Eric Northman is humbling, to say the least, for Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard. So to say that he’s used to the adoration from female fans of True Blood, the subject of this week’s Entertainment Weekly cover story, would be a bit of an understatement … “I’ll never get used to that,” Skarsgard said of his googly-eyed fanbase. “It’s just very, very humbling and flattering. The character Eric means so much to me and I’m having so much fun playing him. Of course it means a lot when you meet fans and you can actually tell there are people out there who really do care about the character. It means something to you, then. That’s kind of why you do this whole thing.” Eric fans could have plenty to salivate over this season, which begins June 26 on HBO. This year, True Blood is inspired by book four of the Stackhouse series, Dead to the World, which features a steamy shower scene between Sookie and the tall, light and handsome vamp. Unfortunately, Skargard isn’t in the mood to kiss and tell. He will say, however, that sex this year is, um, a little more down to earth. “I did some crazy stuff last year. I almost had sex with a Greek man and I was covered in his goo. Everything from here on is pretty childish. Everything’s quite innocent.”

Firstly, these EW covers are brilliant. I love the idea of posing the cast in the famed American Gothic pose for the covers … very cool. I love that all 3 of the leading men are featured on their own covers. I think they could’ve done something a bit different with Anna Paquin but all in all, this is a fun way to promote the show’s return. As for the season 4 premiere this weekend, I’m very much looking forward to going back to the drama in Bon Temps, LA. I’m curious to see how the new witchy characters will interact with the already established cast of supernatural creatures. True Blood always bring the cheeky entertainment … I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the coming season.
