Updated with new poster: No matter how you feel about “True Blood” you have to admit that their marketing is never short of stellar. Case in point? This “Gimme Five” poster (and now updated with an incredible “Bleed the Fifth” piece of art). Great image, great execution – great way to remind people that this absolutely batsh*t show has been around for five years.

“True Blood” returns to HBO Sunday, June 10 at 9 PM ET/PT. The show’s fifth season will contain 12 episodes and will be the last season of the program overseen by show runner Alan Ball. Those of you wondering what will happen in the season, HBO has released descriptions of the first three episode. Read ’em inside.

“Mixing romance, suspense, mystery, and humor, the Emmy-nominated show takes place at a time when vampires have come out of the coffin and follows the on-and-off romance between waitress and part-faerie Sookie Stackhouse (Paquin), who can hear people’s thoughts, and 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton (Moyer).”

Head inside for the one-sheets.
