The final season of HBO’s hit show True Blood just added another vampire set to appeal to the female viewers.

Deadline reports in a Feb. 28 article that Riley Smith is joining the final season of True Blood as a “sexy, rock ‘n’ roll vampire.”

“He will play Keith, a sexy, rock ‘n’ roll vampire with a romantic side. A drummer in James’ (Nathan Parson) band, he becomes smitten with Arlene (Carrie Preston) on first sight,” the article states.
