First Look: ‘Dexter’ Season 4
The amazing Showtime series Dexter is among the TV series’ that is taking advantage of the fandom at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend as principal castmembers of the show were on hand to discuss where the show about the serial killer with a heart is going into its upcoming 4th season. Here are a couple of the cute baby posters that have been released (these two are different from the one we saw previously back in June) to promote the upcoming new season (Dexter is a new daddy) along with our first look at video footage from season 4:
Let us count the ways Showtime is merchandising Dexter, its serial killer drama! As revealed at Comic-Con today, there will be animated “Dexter Early Cuts” on Showtime.com this fall, a special application for iPhones called “Dexter: The Game,” and (strange) action figures of all your favorite Dexter characters. “When I was shooting the pilot, I didn’t think it would come to this,” groused star Michael C. Hall during the show’s packed panel. But it’s the new killer that seems to have the cast most juiced for its Sept. 27 season premiere on Showtime: John Lithgow joins the action this season as the “Trinity” killer, aka “the most successful serial killer ever.” The thousands of Dexter fans who filled Ballroom 20 today got a sneak peek of Lithgow’s upcoming work, which, naturally, included a scene of him slitting the throat of a helpless brunette. Lithgow, who joined the panel along with the always charming Hall, among others, wouldn’t divulge much about his character. But he did joke that his first victim was “High Commander Dick Solomon”—his memorable character on the long-running sitcom Third Rock From the Sun. “This character has so many layers and colors,” he teased. Family and a new baby will figure significantly in the fourth season—the teaser included scenes of a sleep-deprived Dexter failing at his day job as a blood splatter expert—but Hall admitted it’s early yet to question whether the apple falls far from the tree. “The baby has yet to exhibit any signs,” Hall said. “It’s possibly there, lurking.”
I have to admit … I didn’t love the last season. The whole Jimmy Smits character really turned me off … the season picked up at the end so I’m hoping that the upcoming 4th season will carry on from there. Season 1 was amazing (who could forget the Ice Truck Killer who turned out to be Dexter’s long-lost brother!) as was Season 2 (psycho-beyotch Lila really made the show very, very interesting … as did the far too snoopy Sergeant James Doakes) … let’s just overlook season 3 and look forward to the introduction of John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer. Oh man … I can’t WAIT! And so, without further ado, let’s check out the NEW video trailer for the upcoming 4th season of Dexter after the jump …
Hot damn, it looks good! I love the whole Dexter is a Daddy thing … it’s deffo a development that is ripe for great moments on the show. I love this show so much, it’s my absolute fave cable series. It’ll be great spending nights with Dexter again on Sunday nights. Season 4 of Dexter premieres on Sunday September 27. Woot!!

I loved Season 3 of Dexter. Jimmy Smits was excellent. I think we were supposed to hate his character. The progression he took from season premiere to season finale was captivating to watch. Anyway, Lithgow is always amazing so I am hugely anticipating this new season.

Ok..I’m so lame..I seriously got teary eyed when I saw this trailer! It made me so happy!! Season 3 wasn’t my favorite, but there were so many side stories that it made up for Jimmy, IMO..I’m so beyond excited for Dexter to come back! This has made my day, Trent!!

Dexter’s brother was called the “Ice Truck Killer”, not “Ice Cream Truck Killer”.

Trent!!! I’m only halfway through season one, you should’ve warned about spoilers before you ruined the ending for me! *pout*

Trent – have you read any of the Jeff Lindsay ‘Dexter’ novels? Am currently reading reading Dexter by Design, took me months to get into it (first chapters almost didn’t seem edited!), but now coming along really well. Must endorse. Can’t wait for season 4! Cee xx

@Holly — So sorry about the spoiler but it’s only a spoiler if the season hasn’t finished airing yet. Season 1 was years ago. Apologies.

I agree that season 3 was pretty lame, but this looks awesome! I have to say, Trent, I almost always agree with your taste in movies/TV. If there’s something I’m not watching and you mention it, it’s probably something I should be! :) Thanks for all the great updates!

I disagree! Season two is the season that you should over look season three was good^^

I really enjoyed Jimmy Smits character. I thought last season was better than 2. It’s hard to hate on Dexter though. It’s just really great television.

omfg. i can’t wait for this. I’ve been waiting for this since last seasons ended. I have to agree season 3 wasnt as good as the previous, Jimmy Smits was a great addition but by the end he got on my nerves. I LOVE this show.

Whateves! Season 3 was my favorite. Season 2 SUCKED! I despised Lila and wished that Doakes was killed right off the bat! Hated him! Smits was amazing!

Ice Cream Truck Killer??? ROFL

season 2 was the only moderately weak season, only because lila was so annoying. Jimmy Smits was sooo good, he did very well with a complex character in my opinion

Im a HUGE Dexter fan… I’m vacationing in Miami right now and I’m staying 10 minutes frm his Condo… :D Im actually going to snap a picture of it later on today :)
I hated season 3, it was boring as hell. I don’t like the more human Dexter at all anyways… I miss season 1 and 2 Dex :( I really hope this little child of his wont make him any softer… Though thats probably because i hate children with a passion. Haha.
Too bad I can’t see the vid because of the pc I’m on ):
