Showtime has decided to plan out its entire year of original programming at once. Six dramas and four comedies will air throughout the entire year, including the third season of Homeland and season 8 of Dexter, plus the series premieres of new dramas Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex and the final season of The Big C.

The biggest change to Showtime's schedule is that Dexter season 8 will premiere in the summer. Every other season of the show has premiered in the fall (September or October), but the new season will debut Sunday, June 30. It's unclear as of now whether this will be the final season, though Showtime's president announced at the Television Critics Association winter press tour that an announcement would be made prior to the premiere.

Dexter will be paired with the new Liev Schreiber drama Ray Donovan about a fixer in Los Angeles. Homeland's third season (premiering in September) will be paired with new period drama Masters of Sex. Showtime is obviously trying to grow its dramatic line-up by splitting up its two highest-rated shows (Dexter and Homeland) and using them to launch the new programs.
