HBO has released the first set of photos from True Blood season 7. In them we see several key characters – and danger on the horizon?

The first nine photos from True Blood season 7 depict several of your favorite people who’ve been on the show for a long time. However, one important person is missing: Eric. No worries, though! Showrunners confirmed last year that he will be back.

There are many stoic and/or concerned faces in these photos which don’t really offer any clues about what to expect in the upcoming storyline. The nice thing is that the show appears to be focusing on the core characters.

Everyone looking at something on the ground. This scene appears in the True Blood season 7 trailer that was released last month. “There’s no one left,” Sookie says in the quick clip to the men surrounding her.
