Can't wait until June 30 for a taste of 'Dexter's' final season premiere? We've got you covered. Today saw Showtime issuing press releases for its summer lineup, the 'Dexter' side of which offered a few tantalizing teases of what state Deb and Dexter will find themselves in after the tense season 7 finale.

Season eight begins six months after LaGuerta’s murder – and Dexter is still managing life as a dad, brother, and serial killer. As Deb (series star Jennifer Carpenter) struggles to deal with the consequences of her actions, a mysterious woman comes to work with Miami Metro, offering first-hand information on Dexter’s past.

‘Dexter’ season 8 will feature appearances from returning Yvonne Strahovski‘s Hannah McKay, '24' villain Julian Sands as a wealthy international businessman, ‘One Tree Hill’s’ Bethany Joy Lenz as Dexter’s new neighbor Cassie, ‘Last Resort‘ star Darri Ingolfsson as her antique-dealing love interest, ‘Entourage‘s’ Rhys Coiro as a bail jumper on Deb’s radar, ‘The Walking Dead‘ star Nick Gomez as a hitman that goes up against Deb, Charlotte Rampling as criminal profiling neuro-psychiatrist Dr. Evelyn Vogel, and ‘The Boondock Saints’ star Sean Patrick Flanery as ex-cop-turned-private-eye Jacob Elroy.

We'd bet dollars to doughnuts that the "mysterious woman" in question is none other than Rampling's character Dr. Evelyn Vogel, given the insight she seemed to have into Dexter in the latest trailer.
