How Many Seasons Will Dexter New Blood Be

So, you're hooked on Dexter: New Blood, huh? Can't blame you. It brought back our favorite serial killer with a code, now living the quiet life… or trying to, anyway. The question buzzing around everyone's head is: how many seasons will there be?

The One and Done? The Story So Far

Originally, Dexter: New Blood was billed as a limited series. That usually means just one season. Think of it like a really long movie, broken up into episodes for your viewing pleasure. A proper send-off for Dexter, many thought!

But, let's face it: the ending of the original Dexter series was... divisive, to put it mildly. Remember Dexter becoming a lumberjack? That's one of the reasons why Dexter: New Blood was so anticipated. It was a chance to rewrite that ending, to give Dexter Morgan a more fitting farewell.

What happened after season one?

Well, ratings were pretty good! Like, really good. So, naturally, conversations started happening. Did the story really have to end there? The show became Showtime’s most-watched series ever. That gets the suits thinking.

Showtime announced a new series with the working title, Dexter: Origins. This series will explore Dexter's early life, from his childhood trauma to his embracing of the Dark Passenger.

But that's not all! Another planned Dexter spin-off show will follow the story of Dexter's son, Harrison. Harrison, grappling with his own "dark passenger."

So, No Dexter: New Blood Season 2?

Here's where it gets a little complicated. Currently, there are no plans for a second season of Dexter: New Blood specifically. The story of Dexter is considered closed.

However, that doesn't mean we've seen the last of that world or those characters. The new show about Harrison is a continuation in many ways. We're just trading in Dexter for his troubled offspring.

Think of the possibilities! Therapy sessions gone wrong? High school dances with a hidden agenda? The potential for dark humor is practically endless.

The Future of the Dexter-Verse?

The future of the Dexter franchise looks… interesting. Instead of more Dexter: New Blood, we're getting a broadened universe. It's like Marvel, but with more blood spatter and less spandex.

The key is whether these new shows can capture the magic of the original and New Blood. Will fans embrace a Harrison-centric series? Can Dexter: Origins truly add something new to the story we already know?

Ultimately, only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: the legacy of Dexter Morgan lives on, even if he's (allegedly) gone for good. And who knows, maybe if the spin-offs are a huge success, someone might just whisper the words "Dexter: New Blood Season 2" in a darkened boardroom. Never say never in the world of television!

But as of right now? We're officially at "one and done" for Dexter: New Blood. Let's see what these spin-offs have in store. Prepare yourselves for Dexter: The Next Generation!
