Michael Ausiello from TV Line.com reports that True Blood has cast the role of Salome, who may or may not be Season 5′s BIG BAD.

This is what Ausiello said about this news…
Italian actress Valentina Cervi is joining True Blood‘s upcoming fifth season as a series regular — and her character sounds like the love child of Russell and Maryann.
The 35-year-old beauty will play Salome, an ancient vampire who is a world class seductress and fiercely intelligent. She also has quite a lot of madness in her. She is the most powerful person in every way yet capable of hiding this power when it serves her purposes.
Prediction: Sookie and she will become fast friends… not.
Cervi recently appeared opposite Rufus Sewell in the BBC miniseries Zen.
Interesting…she’s not at all who I pictured in the role. I wonder if she’ll have any scenes with Eric and Sookie? Most likely, Eric, because if they follow the books at all…Eric would call in a favor she owes him. Or, will they make her one of the Salome’s from the Bible?
