Anna Paquin and Bill Moyer are no strangers to risqué magazine covers, but the real-life couple made waves posing for Entertainment Weekly recently.

The married actors co-star together on HBO's "True Blood," and their unusual magazine feature promotes the seventh and final season of the vampire series, which premieres this week. In the past, Paquin and Moyer have been joined by co-star Alexander Skarsgard in an eyebrow-raising magazine cover for Rolling Stone. However, for EW, Skarsgard was not present while Paquin posed nude beside a clothed Moyer in a coffin.

In addition to the unusual photo, Paquin and Moyer opened up about the highly-anticipated new season of "True Blood." The actors, who have been married for four years, met on the set of the vampire series, and even cited the highly sexualized content on the show as an aid to their marriage.

"In a funny way, I feel like – without revealing too much – it's quite interesting for us as a couple because we've kind of gone to places where a lot of people don't get to," Moyer, 44, explained to Entertainment Weekly. "And we're still here. And I think that's good for us in a way."

Paquin, 31, added that the "potentially awkward couplings" that her character on "True Blood" encounters are a part of her regular work day alongside her husband.

"It's not as awkward as you would think," the actress told EW. "If you were to picture the perfect day at work for your spouse, would that be it? Probably not, but this is just kind of how it's always been. So it doesn't feel as bizarre."

While Paquin portrays a fairy, Sookie Stackhouse, on "True Blood," Moyer portrays a powerful vampire, Bill Compton. The final season of "True Blood" arrives on HBO Sunday, June 22.
