Here is yet another Dexter trailer in promotion of the series’ early return set for the end of June. It is more of what we have already seen, but still nothing a die-hard Dexter fan would want to ignore. Take a look. Continue Reading

Well, today’s news from THR says the Dexter player has signed on to executive produce a new Showtime drama based on author Matthew Specktor’s American Dream Machine. The show will be about 1970s Hollywood and will move back and forth to modern times. While Hall is not signed on to star in the program (at least not yet,) this illustrates his comments are to be taken seriously about his fondness for the television drama. Scott Buck, a Dexter showrunner, is said to be supervising the script which tells the story of a talent agent and his troubled sons. My concern here is the father-son dynamic which is obviously at the center of this and so is its West Coast backdrop. Showtime already has a series like that coming out this summer, ironically paired with Dexter called Ray Donovan from the outside of the business. The title character, played by Liev Schreiber, is a fixer for the LA elite which includes Hollywood players. A major pillar to that particular series is his relationship with his criminal father (Jon Voight.) Dexter is coming to an end with its final season to premiere in late June, and that means more and more promo materials are beginning to surface. Take a look at one of the good ones to hit the web as it stars Michael C. Hall and all his in-character excuses. Be sure to tune in for the series’ early return on Sunday, June 30.
Check out the latest teaser for the eighth season of Dexter. Unlike the last one, this is purely some old footage built to showcase a building tension towards the eighth and final run of the Showtime drama. It all begins June 30.
That hardly appears to be the case as now come rumblings that a sidebar series could be in the works with any number of characters from the widely-watched program–at least network execs will not rule it out. The problem with such a gimmick is the lack of the property’s trademark allure and that leads us to believe that any expectations could live in spoiler territory. There is not much news to go off of, but there was word a few weeks ago that Chuck actress Yvonne Strahovski would be returning to the show in a rare recurrence for a guest character. Perhaps she could take up Dexter’s dark passenger in a different light, carrying it beyond Miami as she escapes from almost certain lifelong imprisonment. Maybe Dexter is caught and confesses to her crimes as the series-ender promises closure. The other options lay with Angel, Masuka, or Debra Morgan which are almost certainly all bad choices. There really is not much to latch onto at this point in time without thinking of a spin-off in tone. Would the network be comfortable with a similar-minded series set in another major market with all-new characters? Dexter’s trip to the country to chase a target a while back was not exactly embraced by viewers. Hopefully, more will come to light in the coming months when Dexter starts its eighth season run on Sunday, June 30.
Showtime Entertainment President David Nevins spoke on the series’ end and unfortunately it sounds very Breaking Bad-ish. We are getting the sense that the network could super-size the season and split it into two, but that is mere speculation at this time. Continue Reading

Check out the latest two teaser promos for the upcoming eighth season of Dexter. These are some more snapshot laden commercials than what we are used to, but a few of us should find them cool. One is for series lead Michael C. Hall who plays the title role with the other going to Jennifer Carpenter’s Debra Morgan. For those looking for a more appropriate promo, go ahead and 
Just two days ago, Showtime revealed the 
It took a while, but now we have official confirmation that the eighth season of Dexter will be its last as Showtime released a brand new sneak peek today, promoting the occasion. As one could tell, Debra Morgan is taking to the bottle following her choice of LaGuerta over her brother. This is something we heard these past few months although this is the first time we can visually piece together how well this will play going forward. 
For fans wanting their first glimpse of Dexter season 8, you will have to sit through scenes of a show you know next to nothing about. Sorry, but Showtime is really leveraging their top drama’s fanbase in order to pump up Ray Donovan. On the bright side, the show stars Liev Schreiber as a ‘fixer’ in LA, and it might just turn into the next great summer program although all the footage they show today has already been seen dozens of times already. 
As one might expect, this weekend’s season finale episodes of Homeland and Dexter each rode even higher to establish new series highs. The programs garnered 2.3 and 2.75 million viewers respectively, giving the premium network yet another night of cable ratings dominance. The big question mark will clearly be whether both can continue their momentum going forward into next fall where they will be paired again. Fall 2013 will mark Dexter’s final season on the air and Homeland’s third. [Note: Homeland's 10 pm showing fell short of last week's, but overall viewership with the night's replay won out 2.7 million versus 2.6 million.]
