'True Blood' Gains Another Howling Hottie With Daniel Buran

With anticipation for the next season of "True Blood" at an all-time high, any news about what's next for Bon Temps is more than welcome. But when it comes to announcements from the show's producers, the ones we like best are hot, howling, and...um, hairy. (Alliteration win!) So it's with great delight that we report the following: According to TVLine, a sexy new werewolf has joined the pack!

Daniel Buran, previously of "CSI: NY," will be nosing his way into the "True Blood" family this year in the role of Shreveport's werewolf packmaster. Not only is this good news from a casting perspective —it's always lovely when a hot new man joins the party—but it means we'll be seeing at least seven episodes' worth of lupine plotlines in season 4. And that, of course, means more shirtless screen time for Joe Manganiello as Alcide.

YES.

Daniel joins a slew of previously announced season 4 newbies, including Fiona Shaw, Courtney Ford, Janina Gavankar, Alexandra Breckenridge, Vedette Lim, Christina Moore, Neil Hopkins, Chris Butler, Dane DeHaan, Rebecca Wisocky and Paola Turbay.

Are you getting pumped for more wolfish shenanigans in Bon Temps?
