I didn't realize that Dexter does not premiere until fall 2009! WTH? I thought for sure it was slated to start again this summer. I've caught up on my EW reading and according to them there's still a very long wait. I'm bummed! (I'm also stoked but I can't maintain that level of stoked-ness until fall! I'll have to re-stoke at some point.)

When
the Showtime hit returns next fall, six months will have lapsed on
screen, leaving newlyweds Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and Rita (Julie
Benz) the proud parents of a baby boy. "This season, we're going to
deal with: Can a serial killer juggle a personal life, work, and his
'dark passenger'?" reveals executive producer Sara Colleton. "In other
words, can Dexter have it all? Which is something all of us grapple
with every day of our lives. So we're taking something that is a very
human dilemma and putting it through the prism of Dexter's special
needs."
Further complicating Dexter's intricate balancing act
will be a new, as-yet-uncast male antagonist who will "cross paths with
Dexter in a major, dramatic way," teases Colleton. "He will illuminate
a lot about Dexter's life and force him to make some tough choices."
(Word is they're looking for a "Jeff Daniels-type" to play the role.)
Meanwhile,
Dex's plucky sister, Deb (played by Hall's real-life wife, Jennifer
Carpenter), will unwittingly threaten to shed light on his dark secret.
"All the way through the season, Deb -- in her need to know her father
more -- is going to get closer and closer to figuring out who Dexter's
mother was and her relationship with her father," says Colleton. So
might the day come when Dex is forced to slice and dice her? "That is
inconceivable to me," declares Colleton. "Deb and Dexter are the best
brother-and-sister team ever."

What ever happened to Dexter? Is there going to be a fourth season?
Of
course, he's a serial killer. Season 4 goes into production in late
May/early June and will probably premiere toward the end of September.
If you couldn't guess from last season's wedding finale, the next cycle
focuses on Dexter as a family man: How does he balance his role as a
husband and father of three with his grisly nocturnal endeavors? Most
parents can't find time to catch a movie, much less mete out bloody
vengeance.
