The award-winning and critically acclaimed series Dexter is coming to CBS Action this December.

Dexter season 1 introduces viewers to the unassuming Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall); a forensics expert working for the Miami police department who has a brutal addiction. After spending his days solving crimes he spends his nights committing them as he hunts down vicious murderers and brings them to justice... Dexter-style. The first season of this Emmy and Golden Globe award-nominated programme debuts on CBS Action on 5th December and will be aired weeknights at 10pm.

Chris Sharp, Chief Programming Officer at CBS Chello Zone UK Channels, said: "We are thrilled to be able to bring yet another internationally acclaimed programme to CBS Action viewers this December. Action fans will have the opportunity to get to know Dexter from the very beginning, with season 2 also airing in December but watch out; he gets under your skin!"

This announcement is followed by the expansion of CBS Chello Zone Channels into more than eighty countries across EMEA including South Africa, the Netherlands, Poland and Russia. The channels are set to launch in all participating countries simultaneously on 3rd December 2012.

Dexter Season 1 premieres on CBS Action on 5th December with Season 2 premiering on 21st December.
