In the episode “Are You?,” “Deb tries to cover up involvement in Travis’ murder; Detective Mike Anderson has an unfortunate run-in; Quinn and Batista make amends; LaGuerta rethinks the Bay Harbor Butcher case.” This morning Showtime has uploaded a seemingly important clip from the episode, along with a look behind-the-scenes. Also, take a break from work and check out the entire premiere here, for free, right now!

At the above link we’ve also scored a preview of next week’s episode, 07.02 “Sunshine and Frosty Swirl”: “When a local convict claims he has new information regarding a 15-year-old crime spree, Miami Metro sets out to unearth new evidence on the case. Debra attempts to cure Dexter of his killer tendencies. Meanwhile, the Mike Anderson case leads to the Ukrainian mob and a vengeful Louis won’t stop meddling with Dexter’s life.”

A last piece of news for the fanatics: Website Vulture has an exclusive 1:1 interview with Jennifer Carpente who plays Deborah Morgan, about the big reveal that sets off the Season 7 explosion. Be warned that there are some pretty heavy spoilers. READ MORE

The first episode hasn’t even aired and already we’ve got promotion photos for the second episode of “Dexter” Season 7.

Entitled “Sunshine and Frosty Swirl”, there appear to be quite a bit of spoilers.

Showtime’s “Dexter” returns September 30 (man, that feels so far away) with Episode 7.01: “Are You….?”

“After witnessing her brother kill Travis Marshall, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) attempts to reconcile with Dexter (Michael C. Hall) while struggling to cover up their involvement with the murder. Meanwhile, Detective Mike Anderson has an unfortunate run-in, Quinn and Batista begin to make amends, and LaGuerta finds evidence that causes her to re-think the closed Bay Harbor Butcher case.” READ MORE

Eh. We’ve kind of seen this before. Especially if you’ve seen the end of Season 6. I feel like “Dexter” is pulling out all the stops to tantalize us about the moments that transpire after Deb catches Dex in the act, except we’ve already seen that haven’t we? Hopefully something amazing happens past those two minutes they’ve already shown us.

As previously reported, Yvonne Strahovski will play Hannah McKay, a strong, independent woman with a past that she’s struggled to put behind her. As Miami Metro reopens old cases, the department turns to her for assistance as Michael C. Hall’s Dexter Morgan begins to wonder if there’s more to Hannah than what she reveals. Katia Winter will play a Russian stripper who works at a Miami club and joins Season 7 newbies Jason Gedrick — who will play the manger of the same Miami strip club — and Ray Stevenson, who has been cast as the leader of a Russian organized crime syndicate.

TV: Hilarious Fan-Made “Dexter” Memes Litter San Diego Comic-Con

To promote the upcoming seventh season of “Dexter,” Showtime is rolling out a series of meme-inspired ads at next week’s San Diego Comic-Con.

“The you-either-get-it-or-you-don’t ad style uses a classic blood-spattered smiling Dex with jaunty messages reminiscent of fan-created online memes often posted in blogs and comment boards. In fact, Showtime will have memes promoting several shows at the San Diego fan event,” says EW. “The network’s ads will be on shuttle buses, lobby banners and the badge lanyards worn by every SDCC attendee.

“The “Dexter” panel is Thursday, July 12 at 6 p.m. and includes a video with the first two minutes of “Dexter”‘s next season that picks up right after last season’s cliffhanger, plus the debut of the “Homeland” second season trailer.

Easily the funniest of the five memes exclaims, “Sister walked in. Caught me at a bad moment.”

TV: Dexter Building Towards Series Finale, Maybe?

When it was announced that Showtime had renewed “Dexter” for two more seasons I immediately suggested it was time to define a definitive series finale. You just can’t continue to string viewers along, expect Deborah (Jennifer Carpenter) to continue to be blind to Dexter’s (Michael C. Hall) misadventures, and water down what ultimately should be an epic conclusion.

Showtime Entertainment President David Nevins talked with EW about the season finale and the potential build for the forthcoming two seasons:

“Coming back for two more years gives us clarity about how and when it will go out,” Nevins said at Showtime’s annual holiday party in Los Angeles on Thursday night. “There [are] things that are going to happen [this season] that will set up a very clear endgame that will take two seasons to tell. You have got to be there for the last two [Season Six] episodes.”

Asked if Dexter will therefore absolutely conclude in the eighth season, Nevins added, “I’m never going to say ‘never,’ but everybody is operating under that assumption. Things could take a turn creatively where they come to us and say they need more time.”

This is both nerve-racking and exciting. It’s nice to know they are actually building towards something, but it concerns me that they’re still thinking about leaving the door open for more. By an eighth season you’re doing your fans a disservice by pushing too hard; look at what happened with “X-Files”. READ MORE

TV: Dexter Renewed for Two More Seasons; Time To Set Up Series Finale?

Variety broke the news seconds ago that Showtime has renewed “Dexter” for another two seasons. They were able to add additional seasons because star and exec producer Michael C. Hall has inked a new deal to remain with the show. His previous contract expires at the end of the current season. The upcoming seventh and eighth seasons will consist of 12 episodes each.

Last year’s season five took a nosedive, while the ongoing sixth is actually pretty entertaining (even though absolutely nothing happened in this past Sunday’s episode). The biggest complaint I’ve heard is that Deborah (Jennifer Carpenter) should have caught Dexter (played by Hall) in last season’s finale. I couldn’t agree more. But for the sake of argument, I believe that Showtime needs to set a finite END to the series. The writers need to know when that is so they can begin developing for the series finale. I would prefer a solid two seasons of set up jam-packed with payoffs than an extra few years of the cabler dragging their feet. END STRONG.

Stephen King Adaptations: ‘Under the Dome’ and ‘Rose Madder’

Stephen King Adaptations: Under the Dome and Rose Madder

After an extensive search, comic book (“Y: The Last Man,” “Ex Machina”) and “Lost” writer Brian K. Vaughan has been tapped to pen Showtime’s drama series adaptation of Stephen King’s 2009 novel “Under the Dome”, from DreamWorks Television, says Deadline.

The supernatural thriller revolves around locals at a Maine vacation spot who battle one another when a force field suddenly surrounds their town and cuts them off from the rest of the world. DreamWorks’ Steven Spielberg and Stacey Snider originally secured the rights to King’s novel shortly after it was published in November 2009.

In other news, Joni Sighvattson’s Palomar Pictures (Killer Elite, Brothers) has launched a partnership with Grosvenor Park on a package of three films — one being an adaptation of Stephen King’s 1995 fantasy novel “Rose Madder”. Naomi Sheridan (In America) penned the screenplay that’s based on a woman who’s on the run from her abusive husband and is able to travel into a painting. Variety reports. READ MORE

[Blu-ray Review] ‘Dexter: The Fifth Season’

Movies
Posted by David Harley on August 09, 2011 @ 3:21am
Category: Movies / Home Video

The third season of Showtime’s Dexter was a low-point for the series, carrying less conflict and more face-palming close calls than ever, so it makes sense that in a way, the fifth season is a redo. Deborah is still seconds behind America’s favorite serial killer as he allows his dark passenger to take hold, but it’s almost as if someone realized that having his partner-in-crime and enemy as the same character wasn’t as interesting as they hoped (Lord knows they tried by having Dexter kill Miguel Prado’s brother, causing the Assistant District Attorney to go AWOL), so they tried again by splitting them into two separate entities and casting the almost always enjoyable Julia Stiles as Lumen, his soul mate, pupil and quasi-replacement for Rita.

With True Blood flying wildly out of control this season, I find myself craving new Dexter episodes even more. In a recent interview with TV Guide, executive producer Sara Colleton revealed what kind of state of mind our favorite serial killer is going to be in during the upcoming sixth season.

“We wanted to jump ahead a year and find that Dexter has gotten his groove back. He’s gotten over Rita and Lumen… There are things in life that Dexter’s dealing with and one of them is that Harrison is now 2 years old and he has to go to school. There are things that he has to start thinking about with his son, and he’s become keenly aware of what it is that he doesn’t want to pass on to Harrison, namely his Dark Passenger. But Dexter has no idea what it is that he does want to pass on.”

What an odd coincidence: both big genre shows are jumping forward in time this year. At least this one probably doesn’t involve fairies.

A new promo spot also popped up online, which you can catch beyond the break.

2011 has been a good year for Image Comics’ “CHEW”. The series has not only been successfully optioned for TV rights thanks to Showtime, but it has also netted itself 3 Eisner Award noms. Not bad for a series that most publishers didn’t think would ever sell, much less become an industry-wide hit. However, for all of the odds that were against it, “CHEW” has beaten them all in order to become one of the most surprising creator-owned hit series in years, and all because of the creator himself, writer John Layman. John was gracious enough to sit down and talk to me about the project, the Eisner nominations, and the foray into Hollywood, which you can read beyond the break. Read on for the skinny…

Has your dark passenger been surfacing more and more lately? Do you keep getting that, urge? That yearning? TO KILL. Well, you PC gamers are going to get your chance. Dexter The Game is now available for the PC for $9.99. You can get it right over HERE

In the game you play as Dexter (who’d have thought?) and you basically get to do exactly what he does on the show. Analyze crime scenes, stalk people, capture and kill them. Sounds good to me! Though the 2 star rating doesn’t. Michael C. Hall also voices Dex for the game. System requirements past the break. READ MORE
