Seventh Season of Dexter Already Taking Shape

Even though we’re still a few weeks away from the October 2nd premiere of “Dexter” season six on Showtime, the wheels are already spinning on a very possible season seven. That’s some pretty confident thinking after a lackluster season five, no?

Variety reports that “Dexter” star Michael C. Hall is in negotiations for a new pact to continue on Showtime’s top-rated series. Hall has been in talks with Showtime to renew his deal for several months, as his previous contract expires after the show’s upcoming sixth season.

It’s unclear how many more seasons the two sides are considering under the new pact or whether the length of the term is a sticking point. Hall is said to be looking for a significant salary bump as well after working under his original contract for the past six seasons.
