Although I’m looking forward to Season 3 of True Blood, I’ve wondered how the show can find a villain to top the deliciously wicked Maryann, and Entertainment Weekly has the answer: it can’t. That is, the upcoming season (starting in June) will feature not one, but three villains:

Franklin Mott (played by James Frain): A vampire who begins a torrid affair with Tara but turns out to be dangerously overprotective.
Russell Edgington (played by Denis O’Hare): The gay vampire king of Mississippi, a Southern gentleman with a dark side.
Debbie Pelt (to be cast): The vindictive ex-girlfriend of werewolf Alcide; she’s none too pleased when he becomes friendly with Sookie.
