On Sunday, after the Dexter panel at Comic-Con@Home ended Showtime finally released the highly anticipated sneak peek trailer for the new season, which will be called Dexter: New Blood.

Click the play button below to rewatch the trailer:
Dexter Morgan, former blood spatter analyst at Miami Metro Police, has managed to avoid detection for his past activities for a decade. He now lives in a little fictional town in Upstate New York called 'Iron Lake'. He works at an outdoors store (Fred's Fish and Game) around plenty of knives, and doing his best to live a normal life.
The trailer also shows that Dex has started a new life under the alias of Jim Lindsay and while he's trying to blend in, he developed a new romance with Chief of Iron Lake Police Angela Bishop.
But, as the video reveals, you can't really run from your past. Knives play a big role in the trailer as Dexter Morgan looks tempted by or handling hunting knives at several points throughout the video.
Duration: One minute and twenty seconds.
Song played during the trailer: "Runway" by Del Shannon (1961). Hear it below!

The trailer starts with Dexter looking stressed and worried. It looks like he's in a therapy session, but the man who's talking to him sounds like Kurt Caldwell who's played by Clancy Brown.

Here's the exterior of Dexter's house in the new season. A cabin the woods.
An axe stuck into a snowy stump.
Dexter wearing a black cap. This is the first time ever we actually see him wearing those kinds of clothes. Because, you know in Miami they were actually useless.
Iron Lake (Shelburne Falls).
Oh, the "Jimbo" guy again! His voice has been stuck in our heads ever since the 'Around Town' teaser.
A different Dexter Morgan angle from the 'Around Town' teaser.
The look, of love, is in... her eyes! Dexter isn't single anymore. Angela Bishop (chief of the Iron Lake Police) is going to be his girlfriend this season. According to what actress Julia Jones said at the Comic-Con@ Home Dexter panel, Angela and Dexter have been together for quite a long time.

"I kinda have a thing about blood". Love they way Dexter's staring at the customer here. Great acting.
Classic Dexter fake smile.
"There's a problem?" Dexter will have to deal with lots of stupid customers.
Walking the Iron Lake bridge like:

Who is that? Some people claim this man is actually Kurt Caldwell. What do you think?
So, this leather case from the "Around Town" teaser has killer tools inside. Perhaps everybody in this little town knows he's carrying knives, because he's sharpening them at his store, Fred's Fish and Game.

Run Dexter, run! Is he after someone, or someone's after him?
We had to zoom in, in order to have a better look at this: Dexter is injured on the left side of his face.
Oh...
Looks like Dexter's mad here, trying to protect himself, or perhaps defend his... store?
Oh, what's that? It looks like...
...blood!
Dexter's covering the blood with snow. "This is all about blending in".
