True Blood Finale Will Have A Lot More Deaths

True Blood star Anna Paquin was a guest on Larry King Now, and the host took the opportunity to question Paquin about the final season’s already high mortality rate, including the deaths of two principal characters.

“I mean, True Blood has a high body count,” Paquin said, “so you know we like to kill people. That’s how we keep it interesting. Especially people who the audience actually cares about because sometimes—in previous years, there’s been times where we’re killing a lot of people, but they’re not people the audience are invested in. So, you know if it doesn’t make us sad, it’s probably not going to make the audience sad.”

When King asked Paquin if fans could expect to see a lot more “heads roll,” she simply said, “yes.”

The final season of True Blood is currently airing Sunday nights on HBO.
