Mark Ecko to Bring Showtime’s ‘Dexter’ to Video Games

Marc Ecko Entertainment has entered into a production agreement with Showtime Networks to design a videogame based on the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning television series “Dexter,” about an ethical serial killer who only preys on killers. Marc Ecko Entertainment will develop the property for interactive media in close collaboration with Showtime Networks to guarantee its faithfulness to the spirit of the show.

“‘Dexter’ is the extremely rare TV show with enough layers of action and tension to translate perfectly into a compelling video game,” says Marc Fernandez, vice president of Marc Ecko Entertainment. “Our game designers, writers, and artists are going to give ‘Dexter’s’ morally complex world the kind of interactivity that gamers will love.”

The Dexter game is in pre-production and Showtime Networks and Marc Ecko Entertainment are in talks with a handful of developers to bring the game to life.
