Beverly Hills - Showtime's president is hinting that a spin-off to the serial killer drama Dexter may be forthcoming.
David Nevins said on Tuesday that Showtime has signed a two-year deal with Scott Buck, the executive producer of Dexter. The cable TV show starring Michael C Hall is in its eighth and final season.
Showtime says Buck will be working with the premium cable channel on several new projects.
At a Television Critics Association meeting, Nevins was asked if there will be a follow-up series to Dexter. In response, he noted the deal with producer Buck and suggested that reporters draw their own conclusion.
Asked later about the possibility, Nevins acknowledged that he dropped a "tease" about a spinoff, but said that for now the focus is on a satisfying end to Dexter.
