Dexter Season 5

Only one month left for Dexter season 5 premiere on 26th of September, to make drama lovers more desperate showtime has just released a behind the scenes video.


In Season 5 Dexter has to get a hold of things he never experienced before such as of guilt, distress and self-forgiveness. There is blow back from his reckless behavior. He has blood on his hands and eagerness for revenge that can't be satisfied. "

Joining usual cast members Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, James Remar, Desmond Harrington, C.S. Lee, Lauren Velez, and David Zayas, along with a briefly returning Julie Benz, will be previously announced Season Five guest stars Julia Stiles, Peter Weller, Chris Vance, Jonny Lee Miller, April Lee Hernandez, Shawn Hatosy, and Maria Doyle Kennedy.

Dexter Season 5 preview.

It seems like Season 5 starts up not long after Season 4 left off, with police reacting to Dexter's residence to inquire Rita's death. In the trailer, Dexter tells the police that It was him.

Alongside, Dexter has to tell the bad news to Rita's children that she has been killed

Even worse? It seems that police have a suspect name, Kyle Butler, a.k.a. the alias Dexter was using last season.

During the Question and Answer time, new Dexter showrunner Chip Johannessen told the audience about what they can expect for Season 5.

"We wanted to process this huge event that's almost another origin story," said Johannessen.

He further added, "This is an adult origin story in a way. This is not something that happened to him when he was three-years-old. We don't continue the facts of season four for very long, but this set of events he brought on himself very much permeates season 5."

And one of the biggest changes for Season 5? There won't be one big villain taunting Dexter; instead, several serial killers will appear over the whole season.

Johannessen concluded that, "We're not doing a serial killer of the week thing we just have more balls in the air".

Shawn Hatosy has now been confirmed by Showtime after Julia stiles, that both will appear in the fifth season of Dexter.

Shawn Hatosy is making a pit stop in Miami before returning to Southland: Sources confirm to me exclusively that  Shawn Hatosy has booked a multi-episode arc on Dexter.

A Showtime rep declined to divulge details on his character, but a recent Dexter casting call may offer a clue: The drama was seeking a thirtysomething actor to play the recurring role of a no-nonsense FBI agent. UPDATE: So much for my FBI theory. A source close to the show tells me that Hatosy is playing “a bad guy.”

This marks the second major piece of casting for Dexter‘s upcoming fifth season. As I reported last month, Julia Stiles is also joining the cast as a mysterious young woman who forms a unique relationship with Dexter.

After completing his Dexter arc later this summer, Hatosy will head immediately into production on Southland‘s 10-episode third season.

Dexter season 5 will start where it left off; with Rita dead. Factors such as Dexter's dark passenger, being a possible suspect in his wife's death, the Trinity killers family knowing him as Kyle Butler and his status as a single father should take this season in an interesting direction. The decision to kill Rita was a shocking one but it opens up many avenues for where this character and series can go, much more so than if she were still alive. This isn't the last we will see of Julie Benz though who will also reprise her role of Rita in some capacity that has yet to be divulged.

Dexter season 5 went into production on 11 June, and gladly, Michael C. Hall is no more a cancer patient because he has almost recovered from it and now ready to work. The actor had begun treatments for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma earlier this year, but as wife and costar Jennifer Carpenter revealed, he’s now healthy.


Jennifer Carpenter told E! News "We've said it over and over that he's in complete remission just so people will stop worrying," . "But still people come up to him asking, 'Are you okay?'"


After being recovered as Michael C. Hall, but as Dexter Morgan has to recover from many many problems in the show. The plot points of Dexter’s 5th season are being kept strictly under wraps, but considering Season 4 ended with the shocking, bloody death of wife Rita, we’re guessing the new episodes aren’t all rainbows and unicorns.


Still, rumours persist that despite her character’s death, Julie Benz will return in some form next year. Of course, Carpenter insisted that she’s being kept in the dark about that particular plot point.




E! News caught up with Benz at the Monte Carlo Film Festival, and she, too, was coy about whether not she would return to Dexter. But she did assure fans that if Rita did come back, it would not be from beyond the grave.


"Rita is not going to be a ghost!” Benz said. “The writers would never do something so cheesy. I am not going to confirm or deny anything, but if she does come back, it would be to move things along.

A press release issued by Showtime today has confirmed that actress Julia Stiles has signed on to star in 10 episodes of Dexter's 12-episode fifth season.

The Dexter Season 5 premiere will air on September 26, 2010 exclusively on Showtime. Season 4's Blu-ray and DVD set will hit store shelves a month earlier.

Dexter Season 5 News: Julia Stiles to Join the Cast

From an EW report by Michael Ausiello, It comes into view that actress Julia Stiles is at the moment in talks to become part of America's most favorite TV show Dexter.

According to Meghan Carlson from buddytv.com, Julia Stiles is said to be in advanced talks to play a major, top secret role in the upcoming Dexter Season 5. Right now, its hard to predict that what role she’ll be playing, but we know it’s not going to follow in John Lithgow’s footsteps.

“We don’t want to try and top John Lithgow, so we’re going to change up the forces that Dexter’s going to be dealing with,”  As said by  Chip Johannessen who is the new show-runner.
It seems like Julie Benz who played Dexter’s wife Rita until she was killed in the season 4 finale will be coming back in the season 5 premiere in September. Not much has been said about how she will return, but it won’t be in a waking vision like Dexter’s father Harry.
