‘Dexter’ Teaser Warns Season 8 ‘Isn’t Going to Be Pretty’ (Video)

Showtime has unspooled the second teaser for the upcoming eighth season of Dexter and it's only slightly less cryptic than the first.

After the first promo offered the names of most of Dexter's (Michael C. Hall) victims, the new spot offers a window into the mind of the serial killer with a code.

"I've always been a very neat monster but lately the truth has begun to spill," he warns. "And too many people have seen the full picture. I'm losing control. And the only thing I know for sure is that it isn't going to be pretty."

Showtime has yet to make a formal decision on the future of the long-running drama co-starring Jennifer Carpenter, though CBS Corp. chief Les Moonves -- who oversees sibling network Showtime -- recently called the upcoming eighth season the show's "last."

Dexter returns Sunday, June 30 on Showtime for its first spring bow. Watch the creepy promo, below, and hit the comments with your thoughts.
