We’ve been hearing about a bunch of new characters coming on board for the third season of True Blood but so far, only Tony winner Denis O’Hare has been cast to play Russell Edgington, the King of Mississippi. Now Entertainment Weekly‘s Michael Ausiello reports that casting is underway for Werewolf Alcide, who debuted in the third Sookie novel Club Dead and will be prominently appearing on the new season of the HBO series, and his psycho ex-girlfriend Debbie Pelt.

While the specifics about Werewolf Alcide have not been disclosed, the casting people behind True Blood have made it known that Debbie Pelt would be played by a 20 to 30 something knockout and is described as “sporty and spiteful, with black hair.”

Ok, I love that the werewolf’s ex-girlfriend’s last name is “Pelt”. This should be an interesting  season…

Who do you think would be perfect for these parts? Are you excited about the characters joining the show?
