What to Look For
There are two big things to look for this season.
The first thing to look for is how Dexter deals with the tragic loss of his wife, and the complications that are sure to arise from her murder. In seasons past, he has had enough trouble dealing with work, his Dark Passenger and family life. How will being a single father effect this? There just aren't enough hours in a day to take care of your kids, work eight hours and methodically hunt and kill those who deserve it. I don't see how a show about a serial killer can remove the serial killing, so I imagine he will find a way to continue, but how will he do it? Dexter's difficult secret life just became exponentially more difficult.
The second thing to look for will be how the people in Dexter's life react to Rita's murder. The husband who finds his wife dead is sure to immediately become a suspect, right? Everyone knows Dexter as an upstanding citizen and overall good man, but there are sure to be some dissenters after this event. We know Dexter didn't do it but there has to be someone who wants to take a closer look into Dexter's life. This can only mean even more trouble for him as he attempts to juggle everything.
Who to Look For
A new season means new cast members. Who will be seeing on our screens this year? Julia Stiles will guest star in ten episodes as “a mysterious young woman who forms a unique relationship with Dexter in the wake of the death of his wife.” Shawn Hatosy will be featured in a multi-episode arc as a “bad guy.” Peter Weller joins the cast as “a Miami Dade Police officer caught up in an internal affairs investigation” for eight episodes.
Also look for Maria Doyle Kennedy as a nanny, April Lee Hernandez as a police officer and Jonny Lee Miller as “a mysterious man who is 'intricately involved' in a storyline with Julia Stiles.”

Our own Jon Lachonis had this to say: "We’ve seen the first three episodes of Dexter and they are absolutely fantastic, on par with anything you have seen as of yet and as suspenseful as the Dexter brand can be."
