Adding to all the awesome from the 2010 San Diego Comic-con is a trailer for the upcoming new season of Showtime’s Dexter. If you have not seen all of season 4, do not read any further and certainly do not watch the trailer. If you have, and want a sneak peek of the coming season, by all means continue.

You can watch the trailer here after the break.

Dexter is one of those shows that really draws you in, it’s a fantastic show. That being said I’ve been on the fence whether or not I’m going to be watching the new season. The death of Rita has been difficult to deal with. She was such a great character, and really helped to balance the character of Dexter. Seeing this trailer has made a major push towards me continuing to watch.

It seems like the series will be taken in exactly the direction it needs to. Dexter becomes a suspect in Rita’s murder. The lies he piled up in season 4 start to crumble, and he seems to start to spiral out of control. All the while trying to care for the kids. We’ll see if he has to care for all three of them or just his baby.

Congratulations to Michael C. Hall, the actor who plays Dexter, on a full recovery from cancer earlier this year. And congratulations to the writers for keeping the roller coaster that is this series going. Looks like I’m going to watch after all. Are you?
