‘Dexter’ Series Finale Planned For 2013 » Gossip - Sara Colleton, the Executive Producer for Showtime’s hit ‘Dexter’ has revealed that season 8 will be the final season or Dexter Morgan.

Season 7 is set to air on September 13, which will address the little snaffoo created by Debra Morgan when she walked into the room and saw Dexter doing the dirty deed . . . murder.

Sara Colleton revealed that she and the other execs actually wanted season 7 to be the last, but that Showtime convinced them that it would be better to wind up Dexter’s big reveal over two seasons, so that’s what will be done. She said,

We wanted to end it this year, but the network convinced us that it would be best to do it in two years. In some ways, this is a two-season series-ender. We have worked that out and know where it’s going to end. Next year will definitely be the last year of ‘Dexter.’ Absolutely.

Eight seasons must be the magic number on Showtime, because the network also just revealed that ‘Weeds’ would be done after its 8th season as well.

Season 8 will also feature Ray Stevenson (‘The Other Guys” “Thor”) will play some dude named Isaac, who will be the leader of a Russian organized crime ring.
