How Many Episodes In New Season Of Dexter

Okay, let's talk about Dexter. You know, the guy who's good at hiding things. Like bodies. And sometimes, my remote control. But more importantly, a new season!

So, How Many Episodes Are We Getting?

That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? The big cheese. The...well, you get it. How many glorious (or maybe not-so-glorious, let's be real) episodes will we get of Dexter?

Usually, these revival seasons tend to hover around the 8-10 episode mark. Which, in my book, feels like a tease. Just enough to get you hooked again, then BAM! Gone. Rude.

Eight episodes of Dexter is like getting a single French fry. You're happy for a second, then you realize you're still hungry. Seriously hungry. Maybe that's just me, though.

My Unpopular Opinion: More is MORE!

Okay, brace yourselves. Here comes the hot take. The one that might get me cancelled. I think Dexter needs a full, old-school season order. Like, twelve episodes. Maybe even fourteen! I know, I know, I'm greedy.

Hear me out, though! Eight episodes? It barely scratches the surface. It's like speed-dating with serial killers. You don't really get to know them. And isn't that the whole point?

I want to see Dexter meticulously plan his kills. I want to see him struggle with his dark passenger. I want to see him make questionable life choices with far-reaching consequences! You can't cram all that into eight measly hours.

Besides, longer seasons allow for more character development. Remember when Dexter actually had, you know, a personality beyond "brooding killer"? Let's bring that back! Give the supporting characters something to do!

And the relationships! Don't even get me started. Eight episodes? You barely have time to establish a connection before someone gets murdered. (Spoiler alert? I mean, it's Dexter.)

What We Actually Know (Probably Nothing)

Honestly, at this point, we're all just guessing. The showrunners are keeping things tighter than Dexter wrapping a body in plastic. Which is saying something.

We can speculate. We can hope. We can pray to the television gods for a bountiful season of bloody goodness. But until we get official confirmation, it's all just wishful thinking.

And I'll be here, fingers crossed, hoping for a super-sized Dexter season. Because in this day and age, a few extra episodes of controlled chaos is just what the doctor (or, you know, the forensic technician) ordered.

In Conclusion: Give Us What We Want!

So, to the powers that be: Please, oh please, give us a longer Dexter season. We've been good (relatively speaking). We've waited patiently. We've even re-watched the entire series (multiple times).

We deserve it. And Dexter deserves it. Now go forth and make our dark dreams come true! And maybe throw in a few extra donuts for good measure. Because who doesn't love donuts?

Now I'm hungry, and slightly homicidal. Thanks, Dexter! Just kidding...mostly.
