This is fantastic news. According to Reuters, Showtime has given Dexter the greenlight for season two. I can't even begin to say how excited I am about that. Dexter has quickly become a favorite here at TV Squad -- Keith and myself can't stop raving about it. However, this does set a bit of a different tone for Showtime's president Robert Greenblatt. If you recall, Greenblatt gave the go ahead for season two of Huff before the show even premiered. Huff has since been canceled and it would appear that Greenblatt is being a bit more cautious this time around. But at this point, the 12-episode renewal for season two makes sense. The ratings and reviews of Dexter have been been nothing short of excellent and I'm sure season two will continue that trend. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go do some sort of celebratory jig or dance.

Excellent. If they cancel Huff and Dexter before a third season, I will drop showtime instantly.

Dexter is an awesome show that is putting Showtime on the map.
If only they would pick up Deadwood from HBO...

I LOVE DEXTER!.. This is differntly one of the better reasons to subscribe to Showtime.
I really enjoy Weeds too, very weird shows... not something really "seen" before but they worked out great.

hi all, i just have to say that since i first laid eyes on Michael c Hall on Six Feet Under, i fell in love with him. His voice, and those gorgeous eyes. Now that i see that he is on another sitcome "Dexer" He really fits into the character (love the intro, by the way). Its amazing to see dexter's double sided life. Keep rockin it Michael or should i say "Dexter". I'll be tuning in first hand when the second season arrives. But please hurry !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love Iyonna
