Cancelled ShowsThanks to our good friend John from dextergr for sending us the following..
LOS ANGELES, CA — (December 6, 2010) — As season five of SHOWTIME’s top-rated drama series DEXTER, starring Emmy®-nominated and Golden Globe® award-winning actor Michael C. Hall, heads toward another powerful, suspense-filled finale on Sunday, December 12th at 9 PM ET/PT, the network has renewed the series for a sixth season. The announcement was made today by David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks. Season 6’s episodes will go into production next spring in Los Angeles.
“DEXTER is the best suspense drama on television,” said Nevins. “To grow its audience so significantly in its fifth season is an enormous accomplishment by this amazing cast and crew. This is the easiest decision I’ve made since I got to Showtime.”
One of the most acclaimed series on television, DEXTER received seven Primetime Emmy Award nominations this year, including Outstanding Television Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Michael C. Hall and Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for John Lithgow, which Lithgow won. Additionally, director Steve Shill won the Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. The series has received numerous Golden Globe nominations, as well as a prestigious Peabody Award in 2008 and was twice named one of AFI’s top ten television series.
DEXTER had its second highest ratings ever with this season's tenth episode (Nov. 28), delivering 2.54 million viewers, up 43 percent versus the season five premiere (1.77 million). The telecast was the second-highest delivery in the series’ history, behind the season four finale (2.57 million).
DEXTER stars Michael C. Hall (Golden Globe and SAG Award winner) as a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami police department who moonlights as a serial killer. Season five of the series also starred Jennifer Carpenter, Desmond Harrington, C.S. Lee, Lauren Vélez, David Zayas, and James Remar.''

I thought a lot of people watched Showtime wow this is sad. so many poeple missing this awesome show :(
ReplyDeleteor watching it on internet... :p
No surprise here. It's the network's biggest show and it's getting some of its biggest numbers in its fifth season. This is a no-brainer for all involved.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the internet accounts for a very large portion of the actual total viewership, an illegal portion. Showtime and HBO should seriously consider a new economic model that would incorporate a new internet version of their services, it would gain massive paying subscribers.
ReplyDeletethank you showtime :) and yes i download it and all my US tv shows illegal due to the fact they are not shown in the UK at the same time :)
ReplyDeletebut i would be happy paying a monthly fee for downloading dexter and others from the showtime webpage etc, just to show my support
at least you get it in English in the UK...I would have to wait for 2-3 years and then watch a horribly butchered dubbed version with weird ill-fitting voices...that is if I could wait and if they actually decided to show it on TV ;-) What I love the most is if a TV channel buys the rights and is then undecided if and when they should show it...but since they MAY still do, they prevent the DVD release...happened to some show, but I can't remember.
ReplyDeletePlus I would be spoiled from reading the boards and all the comments, I would know everything in advance...that just wouldn't do.
Sorry Showtime.
They should really find a new economic model which is less on a country-by-country base and more international....not everyone in the international audience cares for an awful dub...some people don't mind English ;-)
It would be interesting if they could add in download (illegal and legal) viewer ship and see what the true ratings are. I bet it would be over 10 million.
ReplyDeleteSame here. But then I watch it again 2 years after in my country. I'm so glad we don't dub here.
ReplyDeleteFor people in Europe it's impossible to watch Dexter otherwise then 'illegal'.... (or you have to wait for at least two years for an episode)
ReplyDeleteWell showtime doesn't have a lot to offer Dexter is the only good show.
