Showtime's "Dexter," now in Season 4, is based on the novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" by Jeff Lindsay and stars Emmy and Golden Globe Award-nominated Michael C. Hall ("Six Feet Under") as Dexter Morgan, an incredibly likeable forensics expert for the Miami Metro Police Department who also happens to be a serial killer - but one with his own moral code in that he only kills murderers who can't otherwise be brought to justice.
"Dexter" was nominated in 2008 for five Emmy Awards including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. "Dexter" also received a prestigious 2008 Peabody Award. "Dexter" is Showtime's highest rated drama and was the network's highest rated show in 2007. Additionally, "Dexter" has been the most successful Showtime DVD title to date and continues to be one of the top-selling titles for the network on iTunes.
"Dexter" has been honored in two consecutive years with American Film Institute Awards for Top 10 Outstanding Programs (2006, 2007) and has been nominated in various categories for awards given out by the Writers Guild, Producers Guild, Casting Society, Television Critics Association and the Primetime Emmy Awards.
For his portrayal of Dexter Morgan, Hall has been twice nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Drama Series (2006, 2007), a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series and a Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Drama. He is the recipient of a Golden Satellite Award and a Saturn Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series.
"Dexter" also stars Julie Benz ("Angels," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), Jennifer Carpenter ("The Exorcism of Emily Rose"), Erik King ("National Treasure"), Lauren Velez ("Oz"), David Zayas ("Michael Clayton") and James Remar ("Sex and the City"). John Goldwyn, Sara Colleton and Clyde Phillips are executive producers of "Dexter." "Dexter" was developed for television by James Manos, Jr.
