“There’s a number of ways the series can en,” showrunner Scott Buck told THR after the finale. “But now that we know that most likely the series will be ending in two years we can start to work toward that specifically. “Over the years we’ve all sort of imagined how the show will end and now it will eventually be time to start comparing notes and seeing what the best direction is to take this show before we decide on what our final episode will be.”
Dexter‘s seventh season will premiere Sept. 30 at 9 p.m. on Showtime.
Stevenson, whose credits also include Thor and The Book of Eli, is repped by WME and Jackoway Tyerman.
