Showtime president David Nevins faced a series of Dexter-related questions at today’s press tour, with most of them focusing on the incest storyline. So what did he have to say about that and the show’s endgame?..

On the show’s incest twist, with Debs admitting that she loves Dexter in that way, Nevins noted:

“I’m aware that there’s a certain taboo despite the fact that they’re not genetically related, but [this is] something that has been building over a number of years, an idea that’s informed how they’ve done this show for a long time.”

Regarding the other big Season 6 reveal of Debs witnessing Dexter’s ‘dark passenger’ in action:

“[This turning point sets in motion] a very clear trajectory [for] the next two seasons, and it’s going to help to write with that endgame in mind. There should be fundamentally different dynamics now that Deb [knows about Dex] and it’s going to ricochet. “I’ve been pushing to shake up [Dexter's] formula a bit… so he’s not such a lone wolf,”

As for the series endgame, Nevins reiterates that the next two seasons provide a “likely endpoint” for the saga, “but I’m allowing for the possibility that the plan can change.”
