New Season 7 'Dexter' Trailer

Deb reacts to discovering her brother's dark secret

"Get away from the body."
"Deb, it's me."
"Jesus, Dexter."

It's not much of a glimpse. But at least we know what will happen in the seconds immediately following "the moment of truth," that electrifying Season 6 cliffhanger when Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) discovered that her brother, Dexter (Michael C. Hall), has a really nasty secret hobby.

Bing: More about 'Dexter'

Showtime has released the following trailer, in which Dexter's inner voiceover announces: "Everything in my life has brought me to this point. It's what I am. It's all I am."

Of course, we'll have to wait three more months to learn how this ultimately plays out. But not every scenario is possible. For instance, if Deb arrests Dexter for being a serial killer, all dramatic tension vanishes. And we already know that Dexter won't off Deb, since Lumen survived being a witness in Season 5.

More likely, Deb -- the dutiful newly appointed police lieutenant -- will help keep Dexter's secret and deal with the anguish of that deception. (It's also possible that Dexter will somehow be able to justify this as a single isolated murder, committed as vengeance for the attempt on his son's life.)


Regardless, the real question is whether the couple -- played by actors who divorced in real life -- will engage in borderline incest. As she discovered last season via a shrink, Deb has a deep-seated desire for her non-biological brother -- and possibly for all serial killers. (Remember Ice Truck?)


Can you wait? Not us.

Season 7 of "Dexter" premieres on Sunday, Sept. 30, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime.

Tough to surprise true, long term Dex Fans. It was inevitable that someone "close" would catch him while he was on the dark side. It was becoming and in some instances truely farcical how he would get away at the end of some episodes. Some reality has to be entered into the script. They have a couple of years to tie this up. It will be interesting to see how the end pans out. Lots of potential here. Come on, surprise us!

It's almost impossible to surprise the audience for Dexter anymore. Ever since Rita was killed, all bets were off. I mean if the writers can do that, they can do anything. Dramatic tension has vanished, regardless.

Well, guess they don't like being divorced and working together. They must be ready to kill off Jennifer Carpenter's character to ease on set tension.
