Dexter Season 4 Teaser Poster

Showtime has apparently released a new teaser poster advertisement promoting the fourth season of Dexter. Check out the full poster after the jump.

Dexter Season 4 Teaser Poster

The poster plays off of the obvious new addition to Dexter and Rita’s family, with a clever bib tagline “MY DAD IS KILLER”. That’s probably just tomato sauce, right? Production began earlier this month with John Lithgow and Courtney Ford joining the cast. The new season introduces the Trinity Killer (who got his name becuase he kills in threes) who moved to Miami after evading capture for almost three decades. The season premiere on September 27th 2009 seems so very far away.

Note: Some are claiming that the image is just a fan creation. Either way, it’s still way cool.

    Genius!
  • Another spooky serial killer enters the show? really..hope it won't be lame, I loved the first 3 seasons.

    Spoilery post if you haven't ever seen any episodes ever...



    It kind of makes sense to have another serial killer. That's Dexter's obsession. Think what you will about his dad, but he did a pretty good job of focusing Dexter's attention on other killers.

    not a spoiler whatsoever. there's a few explanations down below if you wanna see why. but saying its a spoiler 'if you haven't seen any episodes ever' ?!? that's saying that any sequel for film/tv that has ever had a poster, is a spoiler if you haven't ever seen the first film/season...that's kinda nutty man.
  • Colonel_Kurtz
    Yeah, I cut the spoiler about Doakes. I forgot the disclaimer.
  • Looks like a poster for a live action Chucky movie. This summer...Chucky is...in need of s diaper change...to kill!!!
  • Ummmm, Chucky movies are live action.
  • I ment Chucky himself will be live action and not some possed doll but an actual baby. Think the omen remake only much more cheesey.
  • sean p
    Horrible. Why would you treat a child this way? The child is innocence and they've abused it in the worse way. HBO should be arrested and placed in custody for this. i'm disgusted and all of you should be disgusted in the exact same way that i am or your not decent. If you don't feel like i do you should be ashamed that you call yourself human beings.
  • rnl
    really? cool it bud.
    They aren't making the baby kill anyone.
    It's a great show, and a great poster.
  • It's Showtime. Not HBO. It's a poster. Get over it.
  • ugh_doom
    I hope the other commenters can cleverly reason that sean p's post is satire.

    Oh, too late.
  • Switters
    Umm, whats wrong with a baby posing for a picture covered in spaghetti sauce? If thats child abuse then about a thousand marketing guys from the past 50 years should be in jail.
  • jason B
    lol! a pre-emptive strike against assholes who truly feel the way you sarcastically posted...very well played sir. how long before these clowns demand the shredding of Deadly Diaper-clad Dexter jr's poster? too bad Deranged Daddy Dexter can't pay them a visit...

    yes, i'm not nearly as good as Lyndsay, but it's too much fun!
  • Zinc
    Aw, cute baby.
  • kfizz
    I was about to say before clicking the page it was going to be a baby that kills people. No I know the plot that it is going to be a family man.
  • Michael
    It's fanmade.

    Someone over at the IMDB forums made it.
  • Colonel_Kurtz
    Aw, who's daddy's little sociopath? You are!
  • Palmer
    I like the poster. But that baby...it's looking at me, judging me.
  • jason B
    ha! best tv poster ever. this took balls, and i wonder how long it is before they have to pull it.

    i know that book adaptations are always a tricky thing, but i think SHO has done a damn respectable job in translating Darling Demented Dexter for us. the supporting cast is among TV's best. now - there are a few things in the books that are 100% better and i don't understand why they didn't bring em to the show - but with or without em, the show is still superb.
  • I agree with you that some of the things in the books would be great in the show. Oh and they brought elements from the books to the show and it's been working out great. Plus, I really like that they're trying to be original and it would suck if I knew how the season ended before I watched it.

    gotta love a poster that is a spoiler for those of us watching on dvd.

    asses.
  • Sorry, but a teaser poster can't be a spoiler... Thats like someone seeing a teaser poster for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and saying "Paramount sucks, they just spoiled the first Transformers film for me, which I have yet to watch"
  • Perhaps it could be considered a spoiler to see a TV poster on slash'FILM'?? I don't care either way, Dexter is pretty lame, folks.
  • We've been covering TV on /Film since the beginning of the site. You've surely noticed this over the past few years, right?
  • Peter, that wasn't a swipe. I'm well aware of /film's overall pop culture coverage. Just an observation as to why some visitors might be screaming spoiler.
  • How much have you watched? And Dexter is TV at it's most cinematic, much like The Wire, The Sopranos, Band of Brothers or the previously posted on The Pacific.
  • "Dexter is TV at it's most cinematic" ... exactly. I go to the cinema for cinematic stuff. I watch TV for something else entirely. I've seen most of Season One and parts of Season Two but it never really grabbed me.
  • Well Dexter needs (and I can't stress that enough) to be watched from ep 1 through to 12 otherwise the subtlety and slow character buildup are thrown out the window.

    But if you love cinematic cinema why not cinematic TV? there is space for both on the landscape.
  • Yeah if you haven't watched by now your not much of a fan.
  • jason B
    season 3 episode 1, 'The Lion Slepps Tonight': aired sept 28, 2008. this is where we found out (for the TV show) that rita's pregnant.

    i hate when spoilers aren't marked just as much as anyone, but at almost 9 months later, i think enough time has passed that they can speak/post freely on season 3 events.
  • jason B
    sorry, the episode is called, 'Our Father'. which, by the way, if yer watching it on DVD then you should also know that we find that out she's pregnant in the very first episode...so eother you missed it, or you haven't started watching yet.
  • i like it even its fan made
  • Ironic and morbid as always :)
  • Most anticipated TV series of the coming season. Just amazing as everything Dexter has been.
  • poster isn't that cool imo... cant wait for the season premier though :)
  • AAAA
    I hope its fan made, because I really don't want dexter to have a child it will just ruin it!!!
  • He will have a child but trust the makers. Have they put a foot wrong?
  • He's already got one, jackass.
  • BigM1ke
    Awesome!! Can't wait for the next season!
  • jrice73
    Very cool poster! Can't wait for season 4 to start...
  • YAY! DEXTER! =D CANT FKN WAIT!
  • It seems like a fake because I think showtime would put the Dexter logo somewhere along with coming soon. I think we're in for a teaser or a promo sometime since Californication has them running on Showtime nonstop. I think they premiere on the same date.
  • sweet cant freaking wait!
  • SharkBaitHooHaHa
    The spawn of satan. Great poster.

    What's even more exciting is that John Lithgow is joining the cast. I'm sure he'll bring forth a sick and twisty character.
  • charles
    oh my god i can not wait!!!!! dexter is one of if not my favorite tv shows.
  • bob
    cock
  • HolyShitMatt

  • Rockie
