Yes, that means Christopher Meloni has officially joined HBO's 'True Blood' as a series regular. TVLine reports Meloni will play a very powerful vampire. This vampire just so happens to hold the fate of Bill and Eric in his very undead hands.
News of Meloni's involvement in 'True Blood' first broke in November.
After spending 12 years as Detective Stabler on 'Law & Order: SVU,' Meloni abruptly quit the show prior to Season 13. Danny Pino and Kelli Giddish were brought on as new 'SVU' detectives.
This is Meloni's first TV gig since leaving 'SVU' and it's a homecoming of sorts of Meloni. He appeared on HBO's acclaimed prison drama 'Oz' for several seasons.
