Stevenson will play a high-ranking member of an Eastern European crime ring, who comes to Miami in order to find out who killed one of his associates, TVLine reports.
It isn't yet clear whether his character will be the season's major villain.
The show's star Michael C Hall recently suggested that the show will not have a happy ending.
Actress Jennifer Carpenter has confirmed that she only plans to film eight seasons of the show.
Series six of Dexter is currently airing on FX in the UK. The seventh season of Dexter will premiere on Showtime on September 30, 2012.

Ray Stevenson was superb in Rome. He will be a good addition to Dexter.
The major problem with Season 6 was the miscasting of the lead villian who was very poor especially when compared to the Trinity Killer and the Ice Truck Killer in previous seasons.

jennifer carpenter says that she'll nly film up to series 8 but I do think the show could go on without he! even though she is a major and very important part of the show I feel that no cast member is ever bigger than the show itself! if she does leave, I hope they do make sum more series anyway!
