TRUE BLOOD SEASON 5 – Joe Manganiello Family and Friends?

Joe Manganiello’s True Blood character, Alcide, is getting some new friends to play with, as well as possibly reuniting with his father. Unfortunately the father bit is just speculation at this point, but when you hear the reasoning behind it I think you’ll agree that it sounds like daddy is coming to cause some trouble for Alcide and the rest of his werewolf pack.

According to TVLine, an actor is being searched for to play the role of J.D., a hard-bodied werewolf in his 50s who isn’t about to simply obey the new pack leader. Sounds an awful lot like Alcide’s one-man wolf pack mentality. If that isn’t good enough, then keep in mind Alcide’s papa has a big role in the fifth Charlaine Harris novel that True Blood Season 5 will be loosely based on. But before we can get any kind of real confirmation about all this, the role needs to be cast! If you have any preferences on who you’d like to see play Alcide’s father, let us know in the comments below.

As for Alcide’s “friends”, Season 5 will see the introduction of several new characters. We will be seeing former pack leader Marcus’ mother, Annie; a she-wolf named Rikki, a couple of beta dogs with skills in interrogation; Holly’s teenaged sons, Rocky and Wade; a corrupt judge; and a humorless vampire named Cat. Sounds to me like True Blood has no intention of reducing the amount of people flowing in and out of the soap opera-like drama. Yay.
