New Dexter ‘leaked’ online

It may be a clever marketing ploy, or it could have been snaffled out from production, but Dexter's newest adventures have been leaked online.

dexter_season4It may be a clever marketing ploy, or it could have been snaffled out from production…

Either way, the season four premiere of Dexter is already online, ahead of its US premiere on September 27th.

Last year the first few episodes also surfaced before its television screening, so the fact that it has happened a second time strongly suggests it is viral marketing.

Doubt we will hear any complaints about the technique though. It’s one of the hottest shows around in TV internet forums.

The next season sees the arrival of actor John Lithgow as the ‘Trinity Kiler.’

  1. any idea when dexter airs on showtime?

    I love dexter but hey, i pay for foxtel and they air it in a decent time frame… any idea how soon they air this? If it’s not soon after the states… hmmz

  2. haha I remember when Showtime pulled this trick on season 2 or 3 of Weeds. It ended up being 4 or 5 episodes tho, which seems like a high number to be leaked for a promotional stunt. Maybe they do just have a leak?

    Dexter also did a brilliant online viral marketing campaign where you could enter a friend’s details and it would pop out a realistic looking American news clip featuring that persons name spray painted on a wall and a few things. I wouldn’t put this past them.

  3. I’m only half way through Season 3 – I don’t like watching one episode a week I find it too hard; I like waiting for the season to air then watch the whole season in the space of a week…..

    Though i love dexter I will prob watch the one a week as I haven’t ever been up to date with the show with US Screenings. Same with weeds, now I’m finally up to date with the US with these shows my “endless flow” of these shows has come to a stop.

  4. I have no problem with early leaks,except sometimes its worse watching only one or two episodes and then having to wait a month or more to watch more. Half the time i’d rather wait and just have an ep a week.

  5. How can it not be? All of Showtime’s major shows have been “leaked” approximately a month prior to air… and we love them for it. 😀

  6. I’ve been waiting on Eastwick, V or FlashForward to leak. There have already been promos for new shows like Cougar Town, do we know who has the rights to the new Courteney Cox Arquette show?

  7. There’s been virtually no leaks of pilots or pre-air episodes for this season, which is unusual. Either the studios have decided that it’s not a useful method of pre-promotion, or they’re cracking down on advance discs.
