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.
Showtime is launching a brand new series this year starring Liev Schreiber (aka Wolverine’s brother) in Ray Donovan. The network has paired the show with Dexter this summer in the hope that the loss of their top program will help the gain of another. Its plot has its title character as a fixer for LA’s elite. Premiere is set for June 30. We have a new poster today, thus the memo, thanks in part to THR.
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.

I hate to mention when I predicted something, but it is inevitable. It turns out I was 100% right when it came to the fate of The Borgias over on Showtime. Despite the show’s fantastic portrayal of period politics in Western Europe, it never seemed to find viewership beyond that of The Tudors. This was unfortunate because nowadays when a drama on the premium network finds only half a million viewers or less, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Dexter, Homeland, and Shameless all perform wildly better which is why it has become apparent that after their contemporary-set Ridley Scott Vatican drama launches next year, Borgias could be on its way out. The news on that end today is that it looks highly probable the show will not receive a fourth season renewal. It instead is likely get a two-hour movie to wrap things up much like we recently saw with The Big C and that will be that. The good news is that Jeremy Irons has suddenly become available.
There is a brand-new Ray Donovan trailer to look at today. It seems like the marketing materials for Showtime’s latest drama have been endless thus far, but now that several more non-pilot episodes are in the can, there is new footage to explore. For the most part, those scenes seem centered on an extended relationship between Ray (Liev Schreiber) and his father played by Jon Voight. Perhaps we should grow to expect him to have a much bigger part in this series than originally thought. There is still no James Woods though even as he is set to recur throughout the series’ freshman run. 
Showtime sent out synopsis’ for first episodes back on all of their hit scripted programs today. Of course, our intrigue lies with what they have to reveal about the upcoming third season of Homeland premiering Sunday, September 29. The last run of the terror-heavy drama left the audience polarized so we will definitely have to see how they put the train back on the tracks. Two words: “Media Firestorm.”
Check out the latest behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming Showtime series Ray Donovan. Showtime was so hot on the series they moved Dexter for support in the summer, so we are really looking at something the premium network believes in. Once again, for those unfamiliar with the show, it stars Liev Schreiber who most of you may know as ‘Wolverine’s brother’ as a fixer for the LA elite. Jon Voight stars in a supporting role. 
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 
Showtime has already started up 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.
