True Blood has added another new name to its season five cast.

The Spartacus: Vengeance star will recur this summer, according to Deadline, as Kibwe, a ruling member of the Vampire Authority. The news confirmed multiple True Blood spoilers and reports that Eric and Bill's war against the Authority will be featured prominently on season five.

It's unclear how this casting will affect the actor's role as Doctore on the aforementioned Starz drama, but shooting schedules for each series should allow him to be a part on both.
