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.

It 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.’

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
All I can say is Wow! We’re in for a treat this season! Talk about a cliffhanger..!!
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.
wow .. loving Dex!
bring on October!
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.
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.
I agree with Adam… More leaks!!!!!
Thanks for the heads up!
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. 😀
God I hope the 2nd ep leaks soon!
BTW thanks for the info, for the new shows I hope we get more that just Flashforward ‘fast tracked’ before the end of the year.
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?
Should be Seven.
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.
I have to assume it’s viral, as this seems to happen for every single Showtime release, every single season.
ITA they do it all the time because unlike some networks in the US they are starting to realize the power of BT…
I’ve just finished watching it and it’s an incredible season opener with a cliffhanger that’ll drive me insane until October. Argh. Leak more!
