Can Dexter: New Blood Rewrite its Disastrous Ending?

It’s been eight years! The long wait is over. Dexter: New Blood is all set to make a comeback.The ending of Dexter: New Blood was a disaster. Showtime dropped the trailer and revealed the release date. The show will premiere on November 7 at 9 pm. The Michael C Hall series ended in 2013. The show is resuming from season 9 with the title-Dexter: New Blood. The trailer shows Dexter’s new life under a new name Jim Lindsay.

Showtime explained more about the new series in a press release. “Starring multiple Emmy nominee Michael C. Hall as America’s favorite serial killer Dexter Morgan, the special event series DEXTER: NEW BLOOD will premiere Sunday, November 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME. Set 10 years after Dexter went missing in the eye of Hurricane Laura, the series finds him living under an assumed name in the small town of Iron Lake, New York. Dexter may be embracing his new life, but in the wake of unexpected events in this close-knit community, his Dark Passenger beckons.”

In the earlier season, Dexter Morgan (Michael C Hall) faked his death and moved from Miami to the Pacific Northwest where he had a different identity. In the upcoming season, he may have a different look.

Dexter: New Blood is not only about the new adventures of lumberjack Dexter. The executive producer Clyde Phillips stated about the time jump and said“One of the things that we all agreed on — and Michael insisted on and he was completely right — is that this not be ‘Dexter season 9.’ That we acknowledge that this is not the next moment after the lumberjack moment. That we acknowledge the truth, that time has passed, almost 10 years have passed, and we pick up Dexter in another place, in another world actually, as far away from Miami as possible.”
Michael Hall stated that “Going back to the way the show ended, I think we see Dexter having chosen to go into a sort of self-imposed exile. And I think he’s doing a very, very long, protracted penance for the people who’ve died who were close to him, and not intended to be victims, because of how he’d been living, how he was playing fast and loose with the code, etc., etc.”
