Is There A New Season Of Dexter Coming Out

Dexter Morgan, the blood spatter analyst with a, shall we say, unique hobby, captivated audiences for years. He was everyone’s favorite serial killer, making us question our own moral compass along the way. But the big question on everyone's lips is: are we getting more of this darkly charming vigilante?

Dexter's Dark Past and Dubious Departures

Let's rewind a bit. The original Dexter series concluded in 2013 with a finale that, to put it mildly, left fans divided. Dexter, after faking his death, became a lumberjack. Yes, you read that right: a lumberjack.

Then came Dexter: New Blood in 2021. This limited series aimed to give Dexter a proper send-off, or perhaps, a new beginning. It saw Dexter living under a new identity in a small town, trying (and failing) to suppress his "dark passenger".

So, What's the Deal with Season 2?

Here’s where things get interesting. Buckle up, because it's a twisty road, much like Dexter's own attempts to dispose of evidence. Despite Dexter's… definitive ending in New Blood, the story isn't quite over.

It turns out, Dexter's not the only one with a killer instinct in the family. The show's universe is expanding with Dexter: Original Sin. This prequel series throws us back to Miami in the '90s.

Get ready for a young Dexter, fresh out of college, learning the ropes from his adoptive father, Harry. We'll see how the infamous "Code of Harry" was born. The show promises to be a neon-soaked trip down memory lane, complete with all the questionable fashion choices of the decade.

No More Michael C. Hall?

Sadly, no. Michael C. Hall won't be reprising his role as Dexter. He's permanently retired from the role. But Dexter: Original Sin will feature a new, younger actor stepping into those impeccably clean sneakers.

Patrick Gibson will take on the persona of young Dexter. Christian Slater, known for his roles in "Mr. Robot" and "Heathers," will play Dexter's adoptive father, Harry Morgan. The casting promises a fresh take on the characters we love to hate (and hate to love).

What To Expect From Dexter: Original Sin

Expect lots of flashbacks! The series will delve deep into Harry's past. Explore how he shaped Dexter into the vigilante we know.

Think of it as a dark origin story with a dash of Miami Vice. We get to witness the birth of a monster and the flawed moral code that defined him. Prepare for 1990s nostalgia, lots of blood slides, and philosophical dilemmas.

Although a direct sequel to Dexter: New Blood with the original Dexter is unlikely, the expansion of the Dexter universe offers plenty to sink our teeth into. Dexter: Original Sin promises a thrilling, nostalgic, and morally ambiguous ride. So get ready to revisit Miami and meet a Dexter we've never seen before. Just try not to get any blood spatter on your vintage clothing.
