‘DEXTER’ HAS TWO MORE SEASONS: If the producers of Dexter were able to choose — the upcoming season of Dexter would be its last. But instead, fans will be treated to two more seasons of the Showtime thriller. Executive producer Sara Colleton explained, “[That end date] was definite. We wanted to end it this year [after seven years] but the network convinced us that it would be best to do it in two years. In some ways, this is a two-season series-ender. We have worked that out and know where it’s going to end. Next year will definitely be the last year of Dexter. Absolutely. We don’t know what the final scene is, but we know where [the show is] going. We know now exactly how it’s going to end. I feel easily that we can be an eight-year show. I want us to go out on a high and everybody on the show is determined to keep the level of it up to the very end.”
