And, with <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/dexter-new-villain-season-9\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Clancy Brown<\/a> enlisted to play Dexter\u2019s latest nemesis, it looks like that will continue into the reboot.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"&quot;auto&quot;\">We\u2019ll have to wait and see if, like most of his previous enemies, he meets a grisly end at the hands of our anti-hero. But will he make it to the Dexter villain hall of fame? And, out of the names on there already, who\u2019s the worst of the lot?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"&quot;auto&quot;\">Well, it\u2019s up to you to decide by voting in our poll.<\/p> <p dir=\"&quot;auto&quot;\">Before you cast your vote, however, a few disclaimers. Some of the names included below definitely stretch traditional definitions of \u2018villainy\u2019 \u2013 but in a show where the protagonist is a serial killer, that shouldn\u2019t be too surprising.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"&quot;auto&quot;\">Some, like John Lithgow\u2019s Arthur Mitchell\/Trinity Killer and Jimmy Smits\u2019 Miguel Prado, are pretty straightforward. One killed Dexter\u2019s wife, the other corrupted his code.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"&quot;auto&quot;\">But others are not so obvious. James Doakes, for example, becomes Dexter\u2019s nemesis because he suspects him of being a murderer, despite some previous bad behaviour. The same goes for Maria LaGuerta, who is season seven\u2019s \u2018antagonist\u2019 as she closes in on Dexter, as well as corrupt cop Stan Liddy.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, they still pose a threat to Dexter in one way of another, even if they haven\u2019t necessarily committed heinous crimes.<\/p>\n<p>So, who\u2019s the worst of the lot? Vote below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;riddle_target&quot;\" data-rid-id=\"&quot;350627&quot;\" data-fg=\"&quot;#1486CD&quot;\" data-bg=\"&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;\" style=\"&quot;margin:0\" auto=\"\" data-auto-scroll=\"&quot;false&quot;\" data-auto-scroll-offset=\"&quot;0&quot;\">\n<script src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/embed\/files\/js\/embed.js&quot;\"\/><link href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/embed\/files\/css\/embed.css&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;stylesheet&quot;\"\/><iframe style=\"&quot;width:100%;height:300px;border:1px\" solid=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/embed\/a\/350627?&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;autoplay&quot;\" title=\"&quot;Opinion\" poll=\"\" who=\"\" the=\"\" ultimate=\"\" dexter=\"\" villain=\"\" vote=\"\" for=\"\" best=\"\" baddie=\"\" in=\"\" seasons=\"\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Dexter: New Blood will begin airing in the UK from Monday 8th November 2021 at 10pm on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW. \u00a0If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Drama<\/a>\u00a0hub for the latest news.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lidia Molina-Whyte Published: Sunday, 07 November 2021 at 12:00 am Serial killer turned lumberjack Dexter Morgan is back, with Dexter: New Blood set to pick up with the former blood spatter analyst eight years after the original series\u2019 divisive finale.
