Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter and C.S. Lee of "Dexter"

For its huge army of fans, the Nov. 10 air date for season six of "Dexter" could not come soon enough. Unfortunately it appears that for some, the anticipation is over before episode one of season six has even aired. This is thanks to an apparent leak of the opening episode online that many fans have been able to download and watch. It is estimated that up to 50,000 people have downloaded the leaked file since it appeared online.

The season begins with Dexter attending his high-school reunion intent on hunting the former Prom King. Season six of the popular series will feature guest appearances from Edward James Olmos and Mos Def.

Whilst the anticipation for the season opener may have been dulled for those guilty of the illegal download, it will have no doubt merely whetted their appetite for the rest of season six.
