At the end of last season, Debbie Pelt (Brit Morgan) shot Tara (Rutina Wesley) in the head and Sookie (Anna Paquin) killed her. This is going to have massive consequences for the show and Tara's fate will be revealed in the first episode. So is the fact that Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) and Bill (Stephen Moyer) killed Nan Flannagan (Jessica Tuck). In the first episode, we'll see the consequences of both of those deaths. We'll also meet Eric's "sister" and learn what their relationship really is. We're also going to get a look at some more werewolves. Alcide (Joe Manganiello) killed someone too and his pack is hunting for the killer. There is a pack moment that is going to gross you out beyond belief. You're also in for a character coming out in spectacular fashion. If the first episode is anything to go by, the show is off to a fantastic start. Are you guys excited for the premiere on June 10? Let us know below.

Well, according to Bauer, things are still going well for him in Season 5. Zap2it caught up with Bauer at the "True Blood" Season 5 premiere in Hollywood where he told them that Andy will "get into some ladies." We asked, "Holly?" He said, "She's a sweet kind of a small town gal who happens to be a witch. But he's been exposed to so many weirdos at this point that he's fine with it." They asked him about the plural here. "Ladies?" "Well, maybe I was speaking as Andy and maybe overshooting, but you know at the end of last season, he was that guy who every guy thinks they may be someday, who actually ran into a gal in the woods and they had a thing," he says. It's like a supernatural Playboy letter! Bauer was told that some of our favorite scenes were between Andy and Terry (Todd Lowe) and asked if we'll see more. He says yes, and that he loves working with Lowe. "Whenever I speak to him, I imagine I'm speaking to Waylan Jennings because he's from Texas and he's got the beard and the voice and everything. And I always love those guys." (Source:Zap2it)

Jones, all three will be returning in 2012-2013.

Ashton Kutcher was brought on to replace Sheen, and ratings-wise, the show continues to be one of the network's highest ranked comedies. Two and a Half Men joins four other comedies already renewed by CBS for next season. How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly, and The Big Bang Theory will all be returning. (Source: CBS)

Fox has announced that Fringe has been renewed for next season, which will see the series conclude with 13 final episodes. Amidst falling ratings and time slot changes over the years, Fringe has persevered, bolstered by its legion of loyal fans. The final, shortened season of Fringe is a smart way for the network to provide those fans a satisfying end to the series, rather than have the show pulled abruptly from the schedule mid-storyline. Season 4 of Fringe is currently winding down, with three episodes remaining until the finale on Friday, May 11, 2012. The fifth season is scheduled for the 2012-2013 season, but no premiere date has been announced.

Word is that the remaining episodes Breaking In has produced will air at a later, yet-to-be-determined date. Still, this scheduling change could be the final nail in the Christian Slater comedy's coffin. Breaking In premiered its first season last April but was met with a similar fate, being cancelled after five episodes. And while Fox eventually decided to give the series another chance, a second revival is not likely in the cards.
