It's only been a few weeks since Season 7 of "Dexter" wrapped up, but already the powers-that-be have announced they will introduce two major recurring characters in the upcoming eighth (and likely final) season — and both could spell trouble for Dex and Deb.

A lot of people, including some Dread Central staff members, have fawned over this season of "Dexter." Me personally? Not so much. In fact, I was happy to hear that next season would be the last. However, it seems as if Showtime may have other plans.

We're still not sure how Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) managed to hug a bloody corpse at the end of last night's finale of "Dexter" without getting a drop of the red stuff on her party dress, but maybe this final "Wrap-up" podcast of Season 7 will shed some light on things. If not, at least we get to hear once again from Sgt. Doakes!

"Dexter" Season 7 went out on a high note - definitely good enough to ensure we'll be back for the eight and final season when it returns in 2013. In the meantime, spend a few minutes with executive producer Scott Buck discussing what went down in the finale and what's coming up.

This weekend's offering of both "Dexter" and "Homeland" provided Showtime with a record breaking one-two punch in terms of ratings, knocking out other previous records with quite the wallop. Read on for details.

Showtime didn't waste any time in releasing its "Dexter" podcast this week, and we have it right here for your listening pleasure. Check out the "Wrap-Up" of Episode 7.11, "Do You See What I See?", with series star Michael C. Hall.

Season 7 of "Dexter" was a mixed bag with a few bright spots (like the great performances by Yvonne Strahovski and Ray Stevenson), but after next Sunday it'll just be a memory. As we gear up for the finale, "Surprise, Motherf**ker!", check out the episode's preview and a pair of clips.

After tonight's episode, it's looking like "Dexter" is back on track to end the season on a high note, and with just two episodes left, it couldn't have come at a better time! And the upcoming Episode 7.11 is pretty timely, too, with its title of "Do You See What I See?" Festive!

It's been an interesting (if not implausible) season for everyone's favorite psycho-killing serial killer, Dexter Morgan, and with the season finale on the horizon, Showtime is promising that things are coming to a boiling head.

Sadly, the best part of this season of "Dexter"--namely, guest star Ray Stevenson--has come to an end, but he showed up to record Showtime's podcast for Episode 7.09, "Helter Skelter," and we have it for your listening pleasure right here.

I don't get some people's love for this season of "Dexter"; to me it's turned eye-rollingly bad, but there are two bright spots: First, we only have three episodes left, and second, Jim Beaver guest stars in next week's Episode 7.10, "The Dark... Whatever."

The best thing we can say about this season of "Dexter" is that at least there are only four more episodes left! Right now we have a few clips from Episode 7.09, "Helter Skelter," to share along with the ep's preview.

"Dexter" Season 7 got off to a rousing start but has now hit the wall. Just like last year when it all went downhill after Mos Def's character was killed off, it has gone so far off the rails we're not sure anything can bring it back. In any event, here's a look at Episode 7.08, "Argentina."

Reactions have been mixed to last night's rather over-the-top murder room scene on "Dexter," but we're holding out hope that the final half of the season lives up to the potential of the first couple of episodes. Here to whet our appetites for more are several photos from the upcoming Episode 7.07, "Chemistry."

On tonight's episode of "Dexter" romance was in the air for both Morgan siblings, and we can't even imagine where things will lead in the upcoming Episode 7.07, "Chemistry." Maybe the preview and two clips from the ep that Showtime has provided will offer a few clues.
