Our favorite serial killer, Dexter, has had his show picked up for a season four and season five by ShowTime.
Seasons 4 and 5 will consist of 12 episodes each, with production to commence this spring in Los Angeles.
"Dexter's enormous success is a tribute to the great achievements of its cast, the producing team, the author of the original book [Jeff Lindsay], and the gifted Michael C. Hall," says Showtime president of entertainment Robert Greenblatt. "I thought at best we would attract adevoted cult audience but soon realized that, ironically, this show is so thematically rich and layered with humanity that audiences of all kinds have flocked to it."
Hall is a two-time Emmy and Golden Globe nominee for his portrayal of Dex, while the series itself was nominated this year for five Emmys, including Outstanding Drama Series.
Dexter is a Miami police forensics expert moonlights as a serial killer of criminals who he believes have escaped the criminal justice system and takes his delight in killing them for himself.
A serial killer that was taught by his step-father (a cop) that killing the bad and not the innocent was a better way to indulge his impulses or his "killer instincts."
Amusing show, cast is likable and Michael C. Hall plays Dexter in an impressive manner, mixing humor into a character that tries very hard to appear normal.
Good choice to pick this show up for two more seasons ShowTime.
