Dexter Is Officially Returning In New Limited Series 15 October 2020 by Lara Jackson To the surprise of the entire planet (and then some!) Showtime has revealed that serial killer show Dexter will be making a comeback with a new limited series. The shocking news comes via Deadline, where it’s noted that Dexter himself, Michael C. Hall, will be reprising the eponymous role. Meanwhile, writer Clyde Phillips will also be returning.

ADVERT ADVERT The show’s final season is widely considered to be one of the worst out there, leaving millions of fans with a bitter taste in their mouths thanks to its – quite frankly – nonsensical conclusion. Fans (myself included) are tentatively hopeful that the newly-announced limited series will rectify some of the issues raised in the show’s finale. According to the publication, the new series will consist of 10 episodes due to go into production in early 2021. It’s hoped that the show could be back on our screens as early as fall 2021 (global pandemic permitting, of course).ADVERT ADVERT The official Twitter account for Dexter took to the platform shortly after Deadline’s reveal, writing simply “Surprise Motherf*cker,” and sharing a teaser clip showing off a heck load of blood spatter. (You can find it here, but thanks to the gosh darn swearing, we can’t include it in the article).
