And baby makes three. That’s the message of the new promo poster Showtime released for Dexter’s fourth season.
The little bundle of joy pictured below is meant to remind us all that Dexter and Rita are expecting. What we won’t know ’till September is whether we’re looking at the Bay Harbor Butcher, Jr.
Dex will no doubt struggle with fatherhood and with the notion that his “dark passenger” may reside in his child, too. But hey, those spatters on the bib could just as easily be spaghetti sauce — couldn’t they?
That’s the beauty of Dexter … you never know when the show’s going to take a bloody turn.

Actually, we know John Lithgow’s guest role next season will be plenty bloody, since his character only kills in threes.
Season 4 debuts Sept. 27. No worries, though. We’ll have plenty of Dexter info to keep us entertained next month when stars Michael C. Hall and Julie Benz speak to fans at Comic Con.
