Is Dexter New Blood Getting A Season 2
Okay, Dexter fans, gather 'round! We need to talk about something super important: Dexter: New Blood Season 2! Is it happening? Are we getting more of our favorite reformed (kinda?) serial killer?
I know, the suspense is killing you. Like, almost as much as Dexter kills... well, you know. Let's dive in!
The Murky Waters of a Second Season
So, here's the deal. As of right now, there's no official word from Showtime (now Paramount+ with Showtime) about a second season of New Blood. Insert dramatic music here.
Must Read
That doesn’t mean it's a definite "no," though! Think of it like waiting for your pizza delivery. No updates doesn’t automatically mean your pepperoni dream is dead!
Why the Uncertainty?
Well, originally, Dexter: New Blood was conceived as a limited series. One and done. A neat, albeit bloody, little package.
But then, something incredible happened: people watched it! Like, A LOT of people! More people than probably watched Dexter sharpen his knives that one episode. Ratings were HUGE.
And when ratings are huge, television executives start seeing dollar signs. Think Scrooge McDuck swimming in gold coins, but instead of coins, it's happy viewers.
However, there's also the ending of New Blood. Let's just say it was... decisive. Dexter Morgan, our favorite anti-hero, met his end. Gasp!
Possible Paths for More Episodes
But fear not, creative minds are tricky! Here are some ways they could potentially bring us more Dexter goodness:
First, they could focus on Harrison, Dexter's son. Imagine a show about Harrison grappling with his own "dark passenger!" A chip off the old block!
Second, prequels! We could get a look at young Dexter, learning the ropes from his adoptive father, Harry. Think of it like Young Sheldon, but with more blood slides.
Or maybe, and this is a wild one, a surprise return of Dexter! Maybe that gunshot wasn’t so fatal after all? Hey, it's TV! Anything is possible!
What the Stars Are Saying
Michael C. Hall, the man, the myth, the Dexter himself, has been pretty tight-lipped. He has said he enjoyed revisiting the character.
Some interviews suggest he'd be open to more, if the story is right. So, pressure's on the writers!
Don't Lose Hope!
Look, until we get official confirmation, we're all just speculating. But the massive popularity of New Blood definitely gives us hope. Ratings talk. Money talks.
So, keep your fingers crossed, rewatch the original series (and New Blood, of course!), and let's all collectively manifest a second season. Positive vibes only!
In the meantime, let's binge-watch New Blood again. You know, just in case. And maybe practice our own little "code" in the kitchen: always wash your knives!
Until then, stay sharp, fellow Dexter enthusiasts!
