True Blood Season 7 adds Brett Lorenzini as Troy in season premiere

HBO will air the final 10 episodes of True Blood in Summer 2014 when Season 7 hits the airwaves. The show will likely add a few new characters in its final season, and the first addition to Season 7 has been confirmed.

TrueBlood-Online.com reports that the show has cast Brett Lorenzini as Troy, a character who will debut in the Season 7 premiere. According to the site, the part was not in the initial casting call and there is very little information about the character.

According to his IMDB page, the British actor has only appeared in the film A Broken Code in 2012.

For those of you who want some more True Blood Season 7 spoilers, the "Ask Ausiello" column at TVLine reports that Lafayette (Nelson Ellis) will get a new boyfriend in the final season, and this new character will help bring Lafayette back to the main stage:

"Question: Do you have any news on the storylines or new characters of True Blood Season 7? -Tom
Lafayette's getting a new boyfriend - and a serious one at that. After spending much of Season 6 in the shadows, Nelsan Ellis will sashay back to the forefront in True Blood's final season - with a little help from Drake. Described as a cross between Jim Morrison and James Dean, this brooding and insanely good-looking vamp is a compassionate protector with a poet's edge. The series-regular role calls for a twentysomething actor who is comfortable performing in simulated (and near-naked) sex scenes with another man in front of the director, assistant director, stage manager, script supervisor, camera operator, first assistant camera, second assistant camera, boom operator, production sound mixer, key grip, best boy grip, gaffer, lighting technician, makeup artist, hairdresser, costume designer, a half-dozen production assistants and Sally with craft services (who shouldn't be peeking in but probably will be)."

Production of the final season of True Blood is currently underway and the show is scheduled to air in Summer 2014.
