Quote:Dexter is back to his blood-spattering ways after Showtime ordered a new limited-series revival of the long-running serial-killer drama.

Michael C. Hall, who starred as the title character in the 2006-13 series, is back along with showrunner Clyde Phillips. The premium cable network has handed the series a 10-part run that is set to go into production in early 2021 with a tentative premiere date of fall 2021.

The original followed Dexter Morgan, who was a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami Police Department but moonlighted as a serial killer.

Gary Levine, Co-President of Entertainment at Showtime, said that the network was only willing to revisit the “unique” character if they could find a creative take that was “worthy,” and they have “found it”.

Haha, that would be a throwback.

Um, spoilers for anyone who STILL hasn't seen the first 8 seasons xD

Further semi-spoilers but not really:

Spoiler:

It sounds like they want the comeback to continue where they left off, of sorts. They don't want to "undo" what they did in the first 8 seasons. So it's unlikely that Dexter is going to wake up and it have all been a "dream". I'm grateful for this and would be extremely miffed if they did mess with the original seasons.

However, a revival would mean the Dexter lumberjack thing could just become one of his lowpoints, as opposed to just the ending. Thank heavens.

Using spoiler tag for obvious reasons.

Spoiler:

Don't think they're going to change the permanence of Debra or others being dead, since that had a lot to do with the ending. It's probable Dexter will just take a detour from lumberjack life and return to his old ways. I'd really like to see characters like Batista or Masuka make another appearance, though that's less likely.
