Thirteen “True Blood” cast members will take part in a live social media event to launch the show’s sixth season, which debuts at 8 p.m. Sunday, June 16 on HBO.

Details on the event, provided by HBO, are as follows:

Truebies will get their blood pumping when 13 cast members from the hit seriesTrue Blood kick off the new season with HBO’s first-ever live broadcast from the set of Fangtasia.  The two-part social media event begins at 8 a.m. June 16, when HBO will reveal exclusive #secretsfromtheset via the True Blood profiles on Facebook (Facebook.com/Trueblood), Twitter (Twitter.com/TruebloodHBO), Instagram (Instagram.com/TruebloodHBO) and Vine. This all leads up to a fan-fueled interactive pre-show, #TrueBlood: Live from Set, airing on HBO at 7:45 p.m. hosted by comedienne and Parks and Recreation actress Retta.

Additionally, HBO’s top True Blood fans will be featured in the broadcast through a never-before-done execution with Twitter and powered by Mass Relevance. All they need to do is follow @TrueBloodHBO on Twitter for info on how to prove they are a #TopTruebie

I think this is a really neat idea to get everybody pumped for the new season of ‘True Blood’, especially when you consider how huge social media is these days.  You’ll be hard pressed to find anybody from the ‘True Blood’ fan base that doesn’t have a Facebook or Twitter account… several have both plus instagram, so it’s a perfect platform for this kind of event!  And who doesn’t want some sneak peaks at the new season… especially when the ‘True Blood’ camp is always so closed lipped!
