Starring\u00a0Michael C Hall<\/a>\u00a0as vigilante killer Dexter Morgan, the new series picks up 10 years after that disappointing finale<\/a>, with the murderer now living under a new name in the fictional town of Iron Lake in New York after vanishing in the eye of Hurricane Laura.<\/p>\n With New Blood now having come to an epic conclusion \u2013 one that has definitely proved less divisive than the original ending \u2013 fans might be wondering whether there\u2019ll be another season, or how it would unfold.<\/p>\n There\u2019s good news on this front. Talking about how he would snap up the opportunity to work on another season, New Blood showrunner Clyde Phillips told Deadline<\/a>: \u201cThis show is a huge asset. When people start bingeing this after the finale, I\u2019m confident the numbers will continue to go up. It\u2019s up to Showtime to make the call to me if they want more. If they ask me if I\u2019d like to make a continuation of this, I would say yes. I have a lot of things going on but I would drop everything for this and say yes in one second.\u201d<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about a potential second season of Dexter: New Blood below including release date rumours and the latest plot and cast information. (Full spoilers follow for Dexter: New Blood!)<\/strong><\/p> So far, there has been no indication that there will be a second run of Dexter: New Blood but, as detailed above, showrunner Clyde Phillips would \u201cdrop everything for this and say yes in one second.\u201d<\/p>\n New Blood was originally billed as a limited series, with Showtime\u2019s President of Entertainment Gary Levine previously telling, Deadline<\/a>,\u00a0 \u201cDexter is a limited series and any further discussions of Dexter will have to wait until we finish airing the limited series and see where we are with our stories and our characters.<\/p>\n \u201cDexter was really designed to have a proper conclusion to the series, and I believe we will deliver that in the best possible way.\u201d<\/p>\n Now that Dexter has met his end in New Blood\u2019s epic finale, it remains to be seen whether another season will be commissioned, but it\u2019s possible it could focus on the plight of Dexter\u2019s son, Harrison. (Read more on the plot below.)<\/p>\n It\u2019s far too early to make any guesses at this \u2013 especially given it\u2019s still quite likely that the series has already run its course.<\/p>\n But in the event that a second season of Dexter: New Blood is <\/em>commissioned, it would probably be at least a year away \u2013 likely even more.<\/p>\n Who knows, perhaps it will return another eight years down the line, as was the case this time around\u2026<\/p>\n Dexter might have returned unexpectedly before, but\u00a0showrunner Clyde Phillips has insisted that, after he was shot by his own son in the New Blood finale, actor Michael C. Hall won\u2019t<\/em> be coming back to life again.<\/p>\n \u201cI have three words for you: Dexter is dead,\u201d he told Deadline. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t do that to the audience. It would be dishonest. Here, there is no question that this is the finale of\u00a0Dexter<\/em>. Dexter is dead.\u201d<\/p>\n While it looks like fans won\u2019t be getting a repeat performance from Michael C. Hall, we can definitely expect other faces from the recent run to return for a second season.<\/p>\n Though Alano Miller as Sergeant Logan won\u2019t be returning following his demise in season one, we\u2019d imagine Jack Alcott would be back as Dexter\u2019s son Harrison Morgan, while Julia Jones as Police Chief Angela Bishop and Johnny Sequoyah as Audrey Bishop should also be returning.<\/p>\n In addition, we wouldn\u2019t rule out Clancy Brown\u2019s comeback as antagonist Kurt Caldwell.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, any second season would probably also have to include original cast member Jennifer Carpenter, who appeared as an illusory version of Dexter\u2019s late sister Debra throughout the recent run.<\/p>\n Even if a second season is announced, it\u2019s still too early to say for sure what might happen \u2013 but following\u00a0Dexter\u2019s demise in New Blood\u2019s finale, it seems likely that a second season would delve deeper into Dexter\u2019s now-grown son Harrison\u2019s story.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not yet clear how Harrison\u2019s storyline would shape up in a second season, but it\u2019s likely to follow on from all of the tragedy that unfolded in the first season.<\/p>\n After a tumultuous start, Dexter and Harrison grew closer towards the end of New Blood as Dexter let him in on his huge secret: he murders serial killers.<\/p>\n However, Dexter comes to realise by the end of the series that he had become everything he has previously stood against \u2013 and that the only person who could save him was his son, who had also inherited Dexter\u2019s darkness.<\/p>\n In the show\u2019s finale, titled Sins of the Father, Dexter and Harrison begin making plans to move away from Iron Lake after his house is burned down, potentially at the hands of one of his enemies.<\/p>\n However, police chief and Dexter\u2019s girlfriend Angela discovers something in the ashes that swiftly leads to Dexter\u2019s demise: evidence that he murdered Matthew Caldwell.\u00a0Dexter is dragged to the police station, where he gives Angela information on all of Kurt\u2019s crimes including the locations of the bodies of the countless women he\u2019s murdered.<\/p>\n With Angela distracted, Dexter kills Logan to get access to the keys he needs to escape, and speeds off in Logan\u2019s police car to reach Harrison.<\/p>\n However, when Harrison realises his father has killed his coach, Logan, he reminds Dexter that killing a good man as collateral damage isn\u2019t part of the moral code he\u2019s supposed to live by \u2013 and points a loaded gun at him.<\/p>\n Right before Dexter receives a fatal bullet to the chest, the show\u2019s voice-over says: \u201cI\u2019ve never felt real love until now.\u201d And after he\u2019s shot, he tells his son: \u201cYou did good.\u201d<\/p>\n Talking about what a continuation of the show would look like for Harrison in the wake of Dexter\u2019s death, Phillips told Deadline: \u201cHarrison is such a complicated character and he has within him the seeds of the dark passenger. He\u2019s capable. Look at that takedown of Dexter in the end, what\u2019s in Harrison is that he has to kill this man.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cAlso, Harrison brings a different perspective to the vigilantism of it all than Dexter did, which was kind of surprising to Dexter. He brings this youthful, optimistic innocence, that he and his dad are basically Batman and Robin. Think of every time we take out one of these bad guys how many lives we\u2019re saving, that this bad person is not going to kill. Dexter never thought of that. Dexter was only taking out bad guys because that was his code.\u201d<\/p>\n By Patrick Cremona Published: Sunday, 09 January 2022 at 12:00 am A whopping eight years after its infamous finale, hit serial killer drama Dexter returned in late 2021 with a brand new series titled Dexter: New Blood that aimed to right the wrongs of the previous finale.
