"Dexter star Michael C Hall has suggested that the show will not have a happy ending. The Showtime serial killer drama has been picked up for a seventh and eighth season. &amp;quot;I think [in the new episodes] I&amp;#039;ll be challenged to incorporate some very new and powerful dynamics into Dexter&amp;#039;s world,&amp;quot; Hall told What&amp;#039;s On TV. &amp;quot;To be honest, it&amp;#039;s difficult for me to foresee an entirely happy ending for the character.&amp;quot; Hall added that he is keen to play a lighter role once Dexter comes to an end. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d love to do a comedy where nobody died,&amp;quot; he admitted. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m aware that there&amp;#039;s an inevitable residue of Dexter that will be on me. &amp;quot;But at the same time, when [HBO drama] Six Feet Under was on, everybody thought I was a gay funeral director. I guess [Six Feet Under character] David Fisher was Dexter&amp;#039;s first victim.&amp;quot; Showtime president David Nevins previously hinted that Dexter could continue for a ninth season. &amp;quot;[Season eight] is the likely endpoint, but I&amp;#039;m leaving open the possibility that plans could change,&amp;quot; he said in January. Dexter returns to Showtime on Sunday, September 30 at 9/8c. &amp;gt; Dexter Michael C Hall: &amp;#039;All bets are off in season seven&amp;#039; Watch a trailer for Dexter&amp;#039;s sixth season below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
