Showtime has released a full trailer for the upcoming eighth and final season of the drama series Dexter.  The trailer shows how the events of last season’s finale will reverberate throughout this new batch of episodes, and we’re also introduced to a new character that could finally spell the end for Michael C. Hall’s Dexter and his secret-keeping.  There are some promising bits to be found in this new trailer, but I’m a little apprehensive about how Jennifer Carpenter’s Deb is handled.  It looks like Deb’s arc could get really repeptetive really quickly, not to mention being a tad grating.  Nevertheless, I’m interested to see how the producers pave the wave for the conclusion of the long-running series.

Michael C. Hall (Dexter) is sticking with Showtime, though it will be in a primarily behind-the-scenes role.  Hall will take on the title of executive producer for a new series based on the Matthew Specktor novel, American Dream Machine.  Set in Hollywood but fluctuating between the 1970s and modern times, the story centers on talent agents and their troubled sons.  If the project moves forward to pilot, Hall may be eyeing a small role but will focus mostly on his off-camera duties.  Dexter showrunner Scott Buck will supervise the script, also written by Specktor.  Hit the jump for more.

It’s officially official, folks: Dexter has run its course.  While producers of the wildly popular Showtime series had previously stated that they began season seven with the intention that the show would come to an end at the conclusion of season eight, the network had yet to publicly confirm an end date.  Now Showtime has confirmed that the upcoming eighth season of Dexter will in fact be its last.  The Michael C. Hall-fronted series continues to be a ratings draw for the pay cable network, but its quality has been a bit of a roller coaster over the past few seasons.

The first teaser trailer for season eight hinted at the titular character hitting a breaking point this year, and it’ll be interesting to see what kind of endgame the producers have in mind given the events that transpired last season.  Yvonne Strahovski, who appeared in a multi-episode arc last year, is confirmed to be returning for this final season, so might Dex get a semi-happy ending after all?  We’ll find out for sure this summer when season eight of Dexter premieres on Sunday, June 30th.  Hit the jump to watch a sneak peek clip from the final season.

Showtime has unveiled the first teaser trailer for the upcoming eighth season of the drama series Dexter, and things don’t appear to be very calm in the Dexter universe.  The teaser doesn’t show any actual footage from the season (as is the case with most TV teasers), but we do get a rather ominous voiceover from Michael C. Hall’s title character warning viewers that he’s starting to lose control of his so-called Dark Passenger.  There’s been no official announcement that this is the final season of the popular serial killer show yet, but going into season seven the producers were operating under the assumption that they were starting an end-of-series arc that would conclude at the close of season eight.  Dexter has definitely had its ups and downs over the years, but it should be interesting to see what kind of endgame is set up in the season eight premiere.

If poetry doesn’t broaden our view of our world and force us to push the boundaries of our lives, then it’s pointless.  Poetry cannot always tap into the chaos and beauty of life if it must be constrained by meter, verse, and rules set down centuries ago.  Poetry, when wielded by genius, can seduce, defend, condemn, and most importantly, transform.  Words are powerful enough to change the world, but even in the hands of the most gifted writers, they can be futile against our frailties, insecurities, and desires.  In his magnificent debut feature, director and co-writer John Krokidas has created a moving, exhilarating, and heartbreaking film in Kill Your Darlings.  Led by breathtaking performances by stars Daniel Radcliffe, Dane DeHaan, and Ben Foster, Kill Your Darlings watches the greatest writers of a generation push the boundaries of modern American culture only to find that even the best words, the most well-spoken words, the most honest words, can fail when spoken to a shattered heart.

Showtime’s Dexter returns later this month, and fans are understandably eager to see the fallout from the events of the season six finale.  A new behind-the-scenes featurette has landed online that features some tantalizing clips from season seven as well as interviews with castmembers like Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter talking about what to expect when the show returns.  I won’t get into specifics for fear of spoiling those that haven’t caught up, but fans of the series will definitely find this featurette quite interesting.

Every previous season of Showtime’s Dexter has been positively packed with tension and season seven is promising to continue that trend.  For those of you who haven’t caught up with the show, we’ll save the spoilers until after the jump.  Let’s just say that Dexter (Michael C. Hall) was in a tight spot at the end of season six.  While this happens nearly every season, the current predicament hits pretty close to home.  Unfortunately, the new trailer is super spoilery, so only go ahead and hit the jump if that doesn’t bother you.  Dexter, also starring Jennifer Carpenter, Lauren Velez, David Zayas, C.S. Lee and show newcomers Yvonne Strahovski, Ray Stevenson and Jason Gedrick, returns Sunday, September 30th at 9PM on Showtime.  Hit the jump to see the bloody new trailer.

When we last left off with Showtime’s hit drama series Dexter, the titular serial killer was caught in a rather precarious position.  Though season six as a whole left much to be desired, the cliffhanger hinted that producers were taking the show in an exciting direction for season seven.  The upcoming season may or may not be the second to last installment of new episodes for the series (producers are keen on ending the series after season eight, but Showtime is hoping they’ll stretch things out to nine), so fans are hoping for some major developments in the new season.  The first poster and a batch of new images from season seven have been released, with the tagline on the poster offering a tantalizing clue as to where things may be headed.  Though a certain romantic subplot has me wary about how the story might play out, I’m hopeful that producers can bring the long-running series to a strong conclusion.

Hit the jump to take a look at the poster and images, which give us our first look at new cast members Yvonne Strahovski, Ray Stevenson, and Jason Gedrick.  Dexter season 7 premieres on Sunday, September 30th at 9pm EST on Showtime.

Howling fans of intrigue and murder packed Ballroom 20 today for a Showtime’s combo Homeland/Dexter panel.  We learned a new locale for Homeland, the dramatic thriller concerning a CIA officer (Claire Danes) and a soldier returning from enemy captivity who may be a threat to the U.S. (Damian Lewis).  And we also met a new face for Dexter.  The show, which will be entering its seventh season this fall, stars Michael C. Hall as the fan-favorite killer with a conscience.  Read more about terrorists and serial killers after the jump.

Showtime had their panel for Dexter earlier this evening at Comic-Con, and they previewed the first two minutes from the upcoming seventh season premiere for those in attendance.  The good news is that the network has released the footage online for everyone to see, and those caught up on the series are understandably eager to see the fallout from last season’s finale.  This sneak peek confirms that season seven begins immediately where season six left off.  Though I wasn’t thrilled about the season long arc last year, I’m interested to see how the series handles what happened in the finale.

Though it feels like something that could easily be straight out of American Horror Story, a new promo for the seventh season of Dexter goes under the sheets, teasing the end of the sixth season in which (spoiler alert), our favorite serial killer’s sister sees him ready to take the life of the Doomsday Killer. Though there’s no new footage (unlike the flash of a ton of scenes in the last quick promo), this is quite an erotic and peculiar thriller. Not only does it hint at the struggle Dexter will have with Deb learning of his dark passenger, but it also gives a bit of a strange feeling because of the incestuous plot that also blossomed last season before that finale twist.

You can watch the new promo after the jump, and stay tuned for our coverage of the Dexter panel at Comic-Con later this week.

Showtime has released a short teaser trailer for season seven of Dexter featuring tons of never-before-seen footage.  The catch?  It all blurs by in about five seconds.  Try as I might, I wasn’t able to capture any images of the show’s newcomer, Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck), so she may or may not be featured in the teaser.  People who are featured include Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, David Zayas, James Remar, C.S. Lee and Desmond Harrington. Obviously, if you haven’t caught up to the dramatic conclusion of the season six finale, you should steer clear of any of the following information as it contains heavy spoilers.  Dexter returns to Showtime for its seventh season starting September 30th.  Hit the jump to check out the teaser.

We just learned that Showtime is bringing Dexter back to Comic-Con in San Diego this year, so you can be sure there will be a great new trailer shown that will hint at the problems to come for everyone’s favorite serial killer, Dexter, played wonderfully by Michael C. Hall. However, until then, fans will have to settle for this new promo Showtime just released. There isn’t any footage from the new season, but it has a whole new voice-over from Dexter complete with somewhat of a recap from the last scene of season six. It’s definitely a spoiler for those who haven’t finished the last season, so proceed with caution. See the trailer after the jump.

Everyone’s favorite serial killer, Michael C. Hall (as Dexter, of course) will be on hand to open up festivities for Comic-Con 2012.  The SHOWTIME panel will also feature a Q&A with Hall, Jennifer Carpenter and special guest, Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck) who will be joining the seventh season.  Fans will witness an exclusive first two minutes of the season premiere, along with a new chapter in the animated webisodes, “Early Cuts: All in the Family.”  SHOWTIME will also screen a trailer for the second season of Homeland and will host a Shameless panel.  Dexter returns September 30th at 9pm on SHOWTIME.  Hit the jump for the full press release.
