Dexter Season 6 Poster, from TVBlog

After a whole summer with almost no news about our favorite autumn TV shows, September brought us more promos than ever. For example, here’s a first look at the new characters that will appear on the highly appreciated drama ‘Dexter’, scheduled to premiere on Showtime on October 2.

As we already know from the brilliantly made trailer for season 6, this time Dexter Morgan, played by Michael C. Hall, will have to deal with religion. And also, with new guests starts, portrayed by Mos Def, Colin Hanks, Edward James Olmos, Aimee Garcia and Billy Brown. Let’s see what connection will they have with America’s favorite serial killer.

• Brother Sam (Mos Def): ‘He is someone Dexter is initially pursing as a potential victim, but comes to realize Brother Sam has in a legitimate way rehabilitated himself by cultivating a relationship with God’.
• Travis and Professor Gellar (Hanks and Olmos) – apparently the two come as a package deal: ‘Travis represents a new bad guy.He believes he is doing the right thing and that he is under the tutelage of Professor Gellar.’ Suspicious, don’t you think?
• Jamie Batista (Aimee Garcia): ‘A very positive influence on Harrison’.  Batista’s little sister will be Dexter’s nanny in season 6.
• Mike Anderson (Billy Brown) – a fresh face at Miami Metro: ‘Intolerant with shenanigans… It’s all business for him’.

Watch the promo below and let us know what you think. Are you excited for the new season of ‘Dexter’?
