Dexter season 8 has had its official poster unveiled, with the biggest hint yet that Dexter Morgan will no longer be with us come the end of the final season.

Dexter season 8 just will not quit over the past couple of weeks, with new guest-starring cast members added, several trailers and now, just when we thought we couldn’t ask for more, Showtime have delivered the official season poster. Here’s the official Dexter season 8 poster.

Showtime have dropped the biggest hint yet that this could be the end for Dexter Morgan. We’ve already seen a subtle hint that Dexter may be killed off at the end of the final season, but with Showtime going official with a poster of this magnitude, we’re getting the grim feeling that this could be the end for Miami’s serial killer.

Dexter is wrapped in plastic, which is notorious for his ritual when taking the final moment of his victims. We can’t help but think that this really could be the end for Dexter Morgan. Why would Showtime release a poster of this nature if they really weren’t considering ending the series with a death?

We do have to consider though, could this be a bluff? Could the writers really kill off the character loved by millions around the world? Could this be a stunt to generate more media coverage than expected? Could this just keep a few more viewers who thought about leaving Dexter behind?

We’ll be waiting on the edge of our seats for the next trailer to air, as it really could be the key that opens up more information regarding the final season.

Dexter returns to Showtime on June 30.
