Just as incognito serial killer Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) methodically scrubbed his crime scenes, Dexter is hoping to wipe its messy slate clean. Eight years after its divisive 2013 series finale, Showtime will premiere the 10-episode revival, Dexter: New Blood. On Sunday, the show’s first trailer and release date were unveiled during its Comic-Con @ Home panel. “I’ve always had my demons, and so I went away,” Dexter says via voiceover. “But sometimes I have an urge too strong to ignore.”
New footage sees Dexter living an existence far from the one depicted in the show’s original eight seasons After faking his death in the series finale, Dexter began working as a lumberjack in Oregon. In New Blood, the former Miami Metro Police Department forensic technician lives in Iron Lake, New York and operates a sporting goods business. Dexter is now going by the assumed name Jimmy Lindsay—and resisting the urge to raid his store’s knife inventory. “Dexter is exercising the power of his restraint,” Hall said during Sunday’s panel. “His ability to not do it is something he fixates on as something as a new kind of power. It’s the only way I can imagine him living with killing—if, in fact, he hasn’t been killing.”
Co-starring alongside Hall in Dexter: New Blood are Julia Jones as Angela, Iron Lake’s first Native American Chief of Police and Dexter’s love interest; Clancy Brown as Dexter’s adversary Kurt Caldwell; Alano Miller as an Iron Lake PD sergeant; and Jamie Chung as a true-crime podcast host. The revival is also welcoming back three key players, including original showrunner Clyde Phillips, who departed the series after season 4. He’s joined by Jennifer Carpenter as Dexter’s sister Debra and John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer. Both characters were previously killed off and will likely appear via flashbacks or dream sequences.
At the Comic-Con panel, Hall spoke about how the revival presents an opportunity to right the perceived wrongs of Dexter’s original conclusion. “I think the ending was mystifying, at best, to people — confounding, exasperating, frustrating, on down the line of negative adjectives,” he explained. “I think this is a show that’s very important to all of us and the chance to revisit it and, maybe in the process, redefine the sense of the show’s ending and the sense of the show’s legacy more broadly was certainly a part of our motivation.” Phillips added, “The ending of this one will be stunning, shocking, surprising, unexpected. Without jinxing anything, I will say that the ending of this new season will blow up the internet.”
Dexter: New Blood will premiere November 7 at 9 p.m. on Showtime.
