Dexter’s Season 7 Trailer Unveiled

Showtime released the trailer for Dexter's upcoming season seven, which undeniably left fans meticulously analyzing its frames.

With all eyes on the brother-sister/lieutenant-criminal relationship between Michael C. Hall's Dexter and Jennifer Carpenter's Deb, little room was left for the rest of the characters, leaving Quinn (Desmond Harrington) and Batista (David Zayas) completely out of the trailer and the new possible baddie, Louis Greene (Josh Cooke), with a mere couple shots.
