Watch the First Two Minutes of Dexter Season Seven

Season six of Dexter left off on one hell of a cliffhanger, and September can’t come soon enough. Showtime has happily released the first two minutes of the new season, picking up directly where the last season left off. Major spoilers both past and future beyond, so turn back now if you’re not ready.

Oh, Dexter, how are you going to get out of this one? Deb caught you red-handed (literally), and now you’ve got some serious ‘splainin’ to do. You can watch Dexter try and talk his way out of a mess below. The scene’s intensity is diminished a little by comical bleeps, but the new season looks as deadly serious as ever.
