"Dexter": Season 8 [POSSIBLE SPOILERS]

INTRO
I know this is coming a little early, but there's been a fair amount of news regarding the upcoming eighth season of "Dexter" recently and I wanted to make a thread here to compile it.

This may well become the discussion thread which we'll post in once the season actually starts or it might end up merely being just a "pre-season discussion" thread. I don't know. There are a couple of character spoilers which have come with the casting announcements and I'll leave those tidbits invisible for the time being. time being.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END
Season 8 of "Dexter" kicks off on "Sunday, June 30th at 9PM ET/PT" according to the show's official Facebook profile, or as you may have learned via various other sources. This is far sooner than any of us expected. Get excited.

Screenrant tells us that Season 8 might not even be the final season, since the show's doing so well after Season 7 and whatever. Other sources aren't so confident.

CHARACTER/PLOT DETAILS
The Hollywood Reporter, among others, have reported about some new cast members who have been added to play recurring roles:

• Charlotte Rampling, who will be playing [ "Dr. Evelyn Vogel, a formidable and whip smart neuro-psychiatrist in her late 50s who assists the law in profiling criminals"],
• Sean Patrick Flanery, who has been cast as [ Jacob Elroy, "a handsome and straightforward former cop who now owns his own private eye business"],
• and Nick Gomez, who confirmed his casting via this tweet but whose role we don't know anything about yet.

EDIT: a bit of news - The Hollywood Reporter says that Aimee Garcia, who plays Jamie, has been promoted to a "series regular", as opposed to merely "recurring", leading up to Season 8. Personally, I've always wanted to see Jamie become more involved in the show's plotlines somehow or another so I'm happy about this.

NOTES
If, at any point, you want more information than what you're seeing here, you can head to these sources of varying reliability to try and find more news and whatnot:

• the official "Dexter" pages on Showtime's website, Facebook and Twitter,
• cast and crew members on Twitter, such as:
  • Robert Lewis (producer);
  • Scott Reynolds (writer/producer);
  • Michael C. Hall;
  • Jennifer Carpenter;
  • Desmond Harrington;
• Dexter Daily, a "Dexter" fansite,
• and r/Dexter, the fan-run "Dexter" subreddit

Obviously, his list isn't exhaustive by any means but it's a start.

I think that's everything as of right now but I'll edit as we go. Speculate away.

I'm going to avoid spoilers on this one. And I hope this is the last season. Whenever shows get extended out of popularity, the quality of the plot drops.
