14 DAY TRIAL // Though we’ve been hearing for months that Showtime’s “Dexter” would most likely end with season 8, getting official confirmation is an entirely different thing – and, to a certain extent, sad news as well.
“In his call to investors today CBS head Les Moonves referred to the upcoming eighth season of Showtime’s Dexter as its ‘last season,’ supporting speculation that the series is approaching its end,” Deadline reports.
“Showtime President David Nevins hinted at an ‘end-game’ during January’s TCAs, and in a Q&A session at Deutsche Bank’s 2013 dbAccess Media, Internet & Telecom Conference today moderator Douglas Mitchelson asked Moonves about the network’s plans post-Dexter,” the same e-zine says.
So this is it: season 8 premieres this June and will close the book on one of the most beloved and twisted heroes (antiheroes, more like it) in modern television.
Above is a tribute to Dexter, the blood-spatter analyst, the father, the lover, the brother and the serial killer: the monster who desperately wanted to be human.
