Volgend jaar juni start het alweer zesde seizoen van de Amerikaanse horror serie True Blood, en deze heeft dan gelijk een Nederlands tintje want volgens de website TVline zal niemand minder dan Rutger Hauer een rol gaan spelen in het nieuwe seizoen. Wat uiteraard fookin A is.

True Blood has made its first major Season 6 hire, and it's pretty bloody fangtastic. Acting vet Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) is joining the HBO smash as a series regular, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Hauer will play Macklyn, a mysterious and sinister figure with deep ties to Sookie and Jason.

Hauer is well known for his portrayal of Blade Runner's Roy Batty, a renegade robot trying to evade capture in Ridley Scott's classic sci-fi film. But the Dutch actor has a varied resume that includes parts in movies like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Batman Begins and Sin City and guest roles in TV's Smallville and Alias. In 1988, he won a Golden Globe for his work in the TV movie Escape From Sobibor. True Blood's sixth season is slated to premiere in June.
