Colin Hanks to join Dexter Season 6 castActor Colin Hanks has signed on for Dexter Season 6. From TV Guide:

Colin Hanks has signed on for a multi-episode arc on the upcoming sixth season of Dexter, TVLine reports. Although no details about the role have been revealed, it’s likely Hanks could be the latest adversary to Michael C. Hall’s titular serial killer. Hanks, 33, is the son of actor Tom Hanks, and most recently starred in the canceled Fox series The Good Guys. He also recurred as a priest during the second season of Mad Men. An email to Showtime was not immediately returned.

This is exciting news! I haven’t seen Colin in too many projects but I give him the benefit of the doubt because his father, Tom Hanks, rocks!

Update: According to the press release, Colin Hanks “will play Travis, a highly intelligent young expert on ancient artifacts who gets linked to a series of grisly murders in Miami.”  He will appear in all 12 episodes.

Showtime taunts us mercilessly with a Dexter Season 6 Teaser

Dexter Season 6 TeaserShowtime has just released a teaser for Dexter Season 6. And when they say “teaser”, they mean it. The show starts filming again this month so I understand there are no sneak-peek goodies they can reveal, but I admit to being a little perplexed by the teaser.

It basically highlights a few of the important moments of the show, including The Ice Truck Killer, Miguel Prado, and of course, Trinity. Rudy aka Ice Truck Killer, makes sense to me. This was a pivotal plot on which so much of Dexter’s psychology is based. The Trinity Killer changed Dexter’s entire world when he murdered Rita and left Dexter’s son in the very similar blood bath as the birth of his own Dark Passenger. But, Miguel Prado? Really? Seriously? I don’t get it.

Don’t get me wrong, it was a solid storyline and Jimmy Smits played a fantastic villain. However, I don’t see why they would choose to showcase that particular chapter in Dexter’s life, compared to this last season. Granted, you probably either loved or hated Dexter Season 5, but I believe it played an important role. After all, Lumen is still walking around (aka alive) knowing Dexter’s secret. It was also vital to see how Dexter was going to cope with the loss of his wife and mother of his child. Even Lila, as despicable as she was, played a more significant role in Dexter’s good vs. evil evolution, than the dearly departed and dismembered D.A.

However, I do have faith that Showtime and the Dexter writers know what they are doing. It’s been said that this new season will focus a lot on Dexter’s relationship with his sister, Deb, who almost found out his secret last season. They’ve also revealed that three new characters will join Dexter Season 6, including one that may be a love interest. I tend to think this Dexter Season 6 teaser is just a little bit of hype, a niblet to satisfy our Dexter taste buds until the show returns this fall. We are, however, grateful for the bite!

Dexter Season 6The First Dexter Season 6 Spoilers!

It’s been almost five months since the fifth season of Showtime’s Dexter took its bow, and since then there’s been a whole lotta silence. After the departure of Julia Stiles’ character Lumen in the season finale, fans have been chomping at the bit to find out more about what’s happening to Dexter Morgan and his Dark Passenger next year. While Dexter Season 6 premiere is still about four months away, production is about to kick into gear, and there are some spoilers coming down the pike — the first spoilers we’ve gotten since the finale.

Three recurring roles are being cast for Dexter Season 6, according to TVLine’s Michael Ausiello. Here they are, in all their glory:

  • Jamie: Described as an outgoing and fun Latina in her mid-20s, this Florida native relocates to Miami for grad school.
  • Chicago Mike: New thirtysomething African-American homicide detective who possesses a finely turned BS detector. The Windy City native does not play well with Dexter others.
  • Louis: A buddy of Masuka’s (C.S. Lee) who joins MMP as a new lab intern. Role calls for a Caucasian actor in his 30s who is “attractive in his own way.”

What do you think? Will any of these characters be as memorable as Julia Stiles’ Lumen or John Lithgow’s Trinity Killer? Do you have any suggestions for who should play those roles? What do you think we’ll see happen in the upcoming Dexter Season 6?

Finally, some juicy Dexter Season 6 News!

Rita, we hardly knew ya. As Showtime’s gears up for the carnage of Dexter Season 6, it seems Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) may be getting a love interest to help heal the loss of his murdered wife. The series is on the lookout for a gorgeous twentysomething Latina who will play a character named Jamie. Jamie is a student of Cuban decent who relocates to Miami to attend grad school. Her over-the-top, positive energy is just what Dexter needs.

There will also be a healthy dose of male energy coming to the precinct in the form of “Chicago Mike,” a black homicide detective who is described as tough and stylish. He’s not thrilled about having left Chicago for Miami, where his wife has found employment. Expect him to clash with the established team, including Debra (Jennifer Carpenter).

And the lab will be welcoming a new thirtysomething intern named Louis Greene, who buddies up to Masuka (C.S. Lee). A genius on the computer, he doesn’t have a problem showing off his intellect.

Excited for Dexter Season 6? And are you ready to see Dexter love again?
