Dexter Season 7 Trailer

[Steve Williams]

This remains one of my 3-4 favorite shows on cable TV

The season finale last year was mind boggling where Dexter's half sister who is a Miami PD lieutenant witnessed him killing last season's serial killer on the alter in ritual fashion. Remember too that his sister Deb is developing romantic feeliings forr Dexter

‘Dexter’ Reveal Takes Show in Fresh, Frightening Direction


“Dexter” hit a crescendo in the final moments of last season with a major, major reveal that was a long time coming and “dramatically changes the nature of this show,” say producers.

Jennifer Carpenter was just as excited about the plot development as fans of the show were.

“I have been looking forward to it,” Carpenter told TV reporters at the Television Critics Association Press Tour Monday. “I’ve been very curious about how they would write it, and also terrified about it.”

The season premiere picks up moments after Lt. Debra Morgan has witnessed her serial killer brother Dexter in the act of murder.

“It was strangest, scariest seduction scene in a weird way,” Carpenter says of the intense opening scene of the highly anticipated Season 7 premiere. “I felt as weak and as powerful as I’ve ever been.”


Season 7 will explore how Deb’s dark discovery affects her job as a cop and her relationship with her brother – for whom, in case you forgot, she has developed romantic feelings. Needless to say, finding out your foster brother is a serial killer puts a damper on romance. (As does, the brother part, adopted or not.)

“I think it is without a doubt the most fundamentally game-changing development we’ve had in telling this story,” Michael C. Hall said.

“One thing we’ve always counted on was that Dexter’s secret was his own — and it’s not anymore.”



Producers say “the time was right” to have someone learn the truth about Dexter, and all of this is building toward the ultimate endgame.

“I think her [Deb] finding out does sort of make an endgame feel a little more palpable and imminent,” Hall said. “I think the plan is to do this season and a final eighth season.” When pressed by reporters if that really would be the series finale, Hall said, “Never say never.” (Earlier in the day Showtime president David Nevins confirmed the plan is for “Dexter” to end after eight seasons.)

So, how will Dexter react to having his secret exposed? Is Deb now in danger of becoming Dexter’s latest victim?! “Dexter is a serial killer,” executive producer Scott Buck reminds us. “The thought has to have crossed his mind at some point that that would be an easy solution to his whole problem.” Uh oh.

Despite getting the payoff of that jaw-dropping moment in the finale, last season did receive a fair amount of criticism on the creative front, with many viewers frustrated that they figured out the big twist long before Dexter did.

“Whatever your opinion about ranking the seasons, I will say that, for my money, Dexter is never more compelling than when he is in trouble,” Hall said. “And he’s never been in deeper trouble than he is now.”

Sadly I too have been drawn into the Dexter sagas. I watch them on DVD and take them in a mega dose. The character sees himself as some sort of pop vigilante hero. I wonder if George Zimmerman ever watched. Concealed carry+vigilante+stamd your ground laws = disaster.

The 7th and final season of this series started last night and all I can say is the"cat is out of the bag" with half sister Deb (lieutenant now of Miami PD) figuring out who Dexter is and in fact Dexter admits to her who he is. This compounded by the fact that Debs captain has found a blood sample taken at the scene of the altar murder which concluded season 6. Also Dexter is being stalked by a computer geek at Miami PD who is dating Dexter's baby sitter. He manages to break into Dexter's computer and now the $hit has hit the fan as it seems now that the series will spiral to an end this season. Great drama and definitely recommended

Missed it but recorded the episode on my DVR! Sounds hot!

It is and starts the final season with a huge bang. It'll be interesting to see if Dexter wins Deb over to his Dark Side as he did to another woman 2 seasons ago. Will he fade into the sunset as a retired serial killer or will be be outsmarted and be captured by his associates at Miami PD or will he be killed or .......

It will be a terrific final season

I'll certainly be watching this very well written and acted series as I have from the beginning. I heard somewhere Jennifer Carpenter said in an interview Dexter had better watch out this season.

Season 7 is getting fast into it with his sister Deb knowing he is the serial killer as well as another computer geek who is nosing in on Dexter because Dexter didn't like a computer game this guy designed and then there is Captain LaGuerta who has found the blood sample under the body of last year's villain (who BTW is Tom Hanks son). All in all Dexter is either going down or somehow he becomes rehabilitated by his sister Deb

Great series

Not sure who is following this great series now in its 7th and final season. We all know that Dexter is a serial killer working for Miami-Dade PD and has managed to keep his escapades hidden for the entire 6 previous seasons but this 7th season now has Dexter's identity being known not only by his sister the Lieutenant of Miami PD but possibly also Captain Laguerta onto him as well as Lewis who met his due by this year's main villain and he is a good one, a cold hearted brutal murderer who suspects Dexter of having killed an accomplice of his.

This past week's episode was probably IMO the BEST of the entire past 7 seasons. I was riveted to my seat. This series is working to a major series ending finale.

Great drama

It's been like a car wreck on the freeway for me. Must admit it is well written and acted.
