Dexter season 7 may still be may still be two months away from its premiere date, but focus has already shifted to upcoming seasons. In this case, potential upcoming seasons – depending on who you believe.
Speaking to the Television Critics Association this week, Showtime president David Nevin (once again) hinted that television’s Dark Passenger could continue into season 9, even though the producers – and now Michael C. Hall – insist that Dexter will end in season 8, no matter what.
Here’s what Nevin has to say about Dexter season 9:
Plans can always change… Deb has to deal with who her brother really is.
Everything changes, so we’ll see where that carries us… Every scene is fraught with you wondering, ‘What is she going to do? What does he think she’s going to do? What does she think he think she’s going to do?’ They’re able to take both Deb and Dexter to unexpected places.
While Nevin may be optimistic (or hopeful) about the continuation of their staple series, executive producer Sara Colleton revealed their stance on the future of Dexter just last month. Highlighting the fact that producers originally wanted the series to end in season 7 – only to be convinced by Showtime to push it to season 8 – Colleton explained that, while an eighth season storyline was easily attainable, the upcoming seasonal storylines are now focused on bringing everything together for a planned conclusion next year. Reiterating Colleton’s original plans for the conclusion of the series, Michael C. Hall told the TCA that Dexter season 8 will be its last – at least for him.
But plans do change, and a series can continue beyond its intended journey. Of course, for that to happen with Dexter, it appears that Showtime is going to have to do much more than simply talk up the potential of the series continuing – because for all intents and purposes, the conclusion of Dexter is only a season away.
When it comes down to it, should a network continue to push for an extension of their most successful series, even if everyone involved has said (and planned) otherwise?
We’ll leave that question up to you to answer…

While I would love Dexter to Continue forward, I feel that there has to be a definitive ending for the show… Whether he is killed or lives on doing what he does best, I believe Showtime will give a fantastic ending! Its how I felt when House ended when he fakes his death to spend time with Wilson… It was bittersweet but the choice of ending was in House fashion:) Thats the way Dexter should end.
I think it should be more like the books ritas kids are a bit like dexter especially cody. He has a dark passenger he could take over from Dexter. Dexter could teach him everything he knows.
I think, the show should have ended after Season 5, worst case Season 6. The are unnecessarily stretching the show with lame stories and episodes. I puked after seeing some of the episodes of Seaoson 7. Although I liked some of the episodes in Season 5,6,7. On a whole I think they should end it in 7, given that they can end it in 7 with laguarta’s death. But i know these guys will stretch it more and continue to beat the s*** out of it.
Hell, I will stop watching if they make 1 more episode after Season 8
Bang on. Perhaps the most reasonable comment. I do not know why the fans like to see it for long when better series have come up. I think time is up for Dexter
I agree! This way it can evolve and continue. Harry- the code could be passed down to Cody.
What? Cody is a normal kid. Harrison has Dexter’s genes and sat in a pool of his mother’s blood. It makes a hell of a lot more sense with him if that were to happen.
Lost got 121 episodes and it wasn’t even good, dexter is at 86 episodes, push forward!!!!! Dexter deserves it!!!! Don’t let me down Michael C. Hall!!!
Mam nadzieję, że będzie jak najwięcej sezonów Dextera, bo fani z Polski już nie mogą się doczekać, a jest ich bardzo bardzo dużo! proszę Michael C. Hall NIE ZAWIEDŹ NAS!
Why cancel Dexter? It’s popular and it could and should survive another season.
I don’t want Dexter end at season 8. At least at season 12 or so.
I want dexter to go to 9seasons its a great show.
i think it will be more of a good ending if dexture died. As well all know he what it to continue but he should die. Also I think their should season 10 and 9 at the least otherwise Dexture fans wont have anything to look forward to this summer. BRING IT OUT
Dexter needs to continue, possibly, call it the son of Dexter… Remember Harrison’s first words? Die die
Agree, Sheila.
Love seasons 6 and 7.
I liked to see the brothers working together without lies for a change. Season 4 had a few good episodes, but mostly it sucked.
