EXCLUSIVE: Sean Patrick Flanery has been tapped for a major recurring role on the upcoming eighth season of Showtime‘s hit serial killer drama Dexter. He will play Jacob Elroy, the ex-cop owner of a private investigation company in Miami. Earlier this month, Showtime’s entertainment president David Nevins would not say whether Dexter‘s upcoming eighth season would be its last as had been widely expected before the veteran found creative rejuvenation and hit ratings highs in Season 7. “I think I will clarify before Dexter goes on the air for this next season (in June),” Nevins said. “There’s a clear end game in place.” It is unclear whether the Elroy character would be part of that end game. Flanery, repped by Inphenate and attorney Todd Rubenstein, will next be seen in the features Phantom and Broken Horses.

This is great – Love the SPF!
I figured they were going to fall into the trap of extending Dexter even further. 8 seasons is plenty and the creative revival happened because the show finally started moving towards the end instead of spinning wheels for another season. But with those ratings, they’ll likely back the Brink’s Truck up to Michael C. Hall’s house and try to eke out 1 or 2 more seasons beyond 8.
Sean Patrick Flanery was phenomenal as Greg Stillson in USAs Dead Zone.
Delighted to see SPF in something of quality again – looking forward to the new season.
Very exciting! SPF is an exceptionally nice person and I know he will be amazing!
Maybe he will be an important part to this new season that will put dexter and debra in chaos.
I hope they eke out many more seasons. I love the show. I am ready for Deb to go tho as I am sick of her constant crying and whining.
So excited for season 8 to get here, and very excited to see SPF play the new Antagonist in the show! Season 7 went by so fast…I will be sad to see this amazing show end
