SCREAM '09: Julie Benz, Jennifer Carpenter on Dexter

One of my favorite shows on TV is Showtime's "Dexter", which is just getting into its fourth murderous season.

While on the red carpet for the 2009 pike Scream Awards (airing Tuesday, October 27 at 10:00PM ET/PT) we caught up with stars Jennifer Carpenter and Julie Benz who reveal some interesting bits on what's to come.


We were lucky enough to catch “Dexter” star Julie Benz on the red carpet for a quick chat about everyone’s favorite serial killer.

“Are you are sick of talking about 'Dexter'?” Benz jokes.

“No! I Love it!”

“Me too!”


“So, did you get to work with Jonathan Lithgow?

“I never actually get to work with him, I get to sit next to him at table reads though. He’s a great guy, so sweet,” adding that Rita’s life still takes a turn for the worse.

“At the beginning of the season we see Rita really having everything she wants in her life and it slowly gets chipped away.”

She also confirms a fifth season will in fact happen, “We definitely have one more after this season.”




Once Benz exited, we grabbed Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Dexter’s sister in the Showtime series.

“We just wrapped, four seasons in and to be this excited every Sunday night, it’s great!’ she screams with enthusiasm adding that she was so dedicated she woke up just to see them film the finale.

“They shot the finale, the last scene, at 1:30am on Tuesday. I got out of bed and went there to watch it because no one knew what was happening because they kept the pages.”


“Did you get to work with Lithgow?” I ask.

“In a round about away, I’m being as vague as possible, it’s too good to ruin,” she teases.

“He’s amazing, he’s a conceited monster and then a millisecond later he’s a little boy you want to pick up and comfort. It’s really effective.”



“Dexter” can be seen every Sunday on Showtime.
