Yvonne Strahovski Returning as Hannah McKay in Dexter: Season 8

Dexter will be reuniting with a kindred spirit in Season 8, as Yvonne Strahovski is returning to the series as Hannah McKay.

Hannah escaped to parts unknown at the end of Season 7, and producers had been coy on whether she’d be back for sure or not, but EW.com is now reporting the Chuck alum is officially set to come back for what they describe as "a multi-episode arc."

It’s widely assumed that Season 8 of Dexter will be the last – which isn’t a wild guess, given producers and cast were saying it would be the last season last summer. However, Showtime has still not officially labeled it the final season yet, saying they weren’t ready to make an announcement one way or the other. Recently though, CBS head Les Moonves (Showtime is a CBS company) also said it was the final season, so at this point, it seems only a matter of time before Showtime finally makes that official as well... Barring a last-minute deal for the show to continue?

Dexter: Season 8 will premiering Sunday, June 30th on Showtime.
