Dexter: Will Lumen return next season? Even Julia Stiles doesn’t know for sure. “I don’t thinkanyone knows,” she told me. “The [writers] don’t start discussing story ideas until February, so I have no clue. I would absolutely be interested [in returning] I loved being on the show.” Meanwhile, costar Desmond Harrington told Masters that he thought it was smart not to end the season with another Rita-esque cliffhanger. “Dexter has a blank slate now and is maybe even a little darker,” he said. “He’s been hurt now twice and that last shot of the candle going out [symbolized that] he can go anywhere at this point. After last season, there had to be a natural exhale of the show, and credit to the writers for being able to pull off a great season.”
