When the Emmy-nominated series Dexter returns to Showtime Oct. 2 for its sixth season, Michael C. Hall's bloodthirsty character – who successfully killed off all Lumen's torturers in season 5 – will be focused on his son Harrison, and whether he will grow up to be a killer like his dad.
Hall told the crowd at Comic-Con in San Diego that this is where religion will enter the picture. (The season 6 trailer even features Depeche Mode's iconic song "Personal Jesus.")

Michael C. Hall: I Always Wondered Whether I'd Live to Age 39
Originally posted 09/20/2010 08:50AM
When Michael C. Hall learned last year that he had Hodgkin's lymphoma, it wasn't just the diagnosis but the timing that was unnerving. Hall was 38 – just a year younger than his own father was when he died of prostate cancer, when Hall was a child.
It was a bizarre coincidence, made all the more resonant by the fact that Hall had long connected the age 39 to his own feelings of mortality.
"I think I've been preoccupied since I was 11, and my father died, with the idea of the age 39: 'Would I live that long? What would that be like?' " Hall tells The New York Times. "To discover that I had the Hodgkin's was alarming, but at the same time I felt kind of bemused, like: 'Wow. Huh. How interesting.' "

John Lithgow: Dexter Costar Michael C. Hall 'Doing Very, Very Well'

Being bad turned out to be very good for actor John Lithgow.
Lithgow won Best Guest Actor in a drama at Saturday's Creative Arts Emmys for his bone-chilling role as a serial murderer on Showtime's Dexter.
Lithgow, 64, credited his chemistry with onscreen nemesis Michael C. Hall for bringing the character to terrifying life – and said Hall is "doing very, very well" since revealing in January that he was in remission from Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
"There were about four days over the course of that season last year that I had to work as hard as Michael does every day," Lithgow told reporters after winning his Emmy. "He's had no trouble this season working five days a week, so I'm delighted."
