Dexter sezon 5 news » Zakończone Seriale » Dexter • seriale forumtv.pl

This just in: I’ve got another killer Dexter scoop! (Let me know when that play on words starts to get old. Better yet, don’t.)

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Julia Stiles is in advanced talks to play a major, top secret role in the show’s upcoming fifth season.

What role, you ask? No idea. But based on what new showrunner Chip Johannessen told me a few weeks back, it’s safe to say Stiles won’t be following in the footsteps of last season’s very scary guest star, John Lithgow.

“We’re not going to have a single Big Bad this season,” revealed Johannessen. “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.”

Given that the new season picks up immediately following the death of Rita, it’s also unlikely Stiles will be coming in as a love interest for Michael C. Hall’s grieving widower. Maybe she’s playing Rita’s long-lost sister. Or her cousin once removed. The only thing I know for sure is that the Dexter gig would mark Stiles’ first major foray into series television. Smart first step, if you ask me.

Dexter confesses to Rita's murder—kinda. At the start of next season, which picks up right where we left off in real-time, Dexter makes his way outside with little Harrison in tow and tells police, "It was me." Gasp! And yes, all of Ballroom 20 gasped together.

• Cody and Astor return home to discover the tragic news, and the teenage drama queen is devastated. "Where were you?! You should have been there to protect her. That was your job. I wish you were dead," she yells at her stepdad in the preview. "You ruined everything, and now every time I look at you I get so angry 'cause it was all just a lie." What was a lie? What does Astor know?!

• Quinn is convinced Rita's murderer is Dexter—or maybe that neighbor Elliot she made out with last year. Either/or.

• Dexter's Dark Passenger is back in full-effect, and it's a bloody mess. Literally.

• Deb is stepping in to support her brother and his kids—except she's a little suspicious of him because their methods of grieving are very different.

• Rita's in a coffin a one point. Funeral scene, or Julie Benz's triumphant season premiere return? We'll have to wait and see.

• And lastly, the police have a suspect (and sketch!) in mind. His name? Kyle Butler. O.M.G.

Based on the description above, you've probably guessed the Dexter will not be doing the ol' time jump to deal with the finale heard 'round the world. And rightfully so!

"We wanted to process this huge event that's almost another origin story," says new show runner Chip Johannessen: "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 permeate season five."

He adds: "Dexter doesn't want to do this anymore," meaning this "normal" life. "He's reached out to humanity and it hasn't gone well."

"There's an inexpressible, unquenchable vengeance alive in Dexter now because of the fact that he killed Trinity [John Lithgow] and allowed him to express a sense of kinship and a sense of mercy only to discover the guy had done in his wife," explains Michael. "And he can't bring Trinity back to life and kill him again, so he has to find other victims. The appetite [to kill] remains." Cue Dark Dexter.

Not much was said about many of Dexter's upcoming guest stars, but we did manage to nab a teensy bit of scoop on Julia Stiles' gig, which Michael tells us will involve her character "being intimate" with Dex, and "witnessing something she shouldn't."

Don't worry, that doesn't mean he's over his late-wife already.

"Dexter's not looking to replace Rita or find a new person to have an intimate relationship. But we'll see what happens."

But Deb might be! Says the smokin' hot Jennifer Carpenter: "The person Deb was interested in loving was shot, so I think she's interested in getting rid of the ghost." Translation: So long, Lundy.

And the biggest news to come out of the panel? No more big bads! Since it would be close to impossible to top the job John Lithgow did as Arthur Mitchell, the Dexter crew has decided on multiple baddies to spice things up.
