Showtime has\u00a0ordered a limited series revival of Dexter<\/em> with Michael C. Hall set to reprise his role as the title serial killer. Original showrunner\u00a0Clyde Phillips will reunite with Hall for the 10-episode limited series after having stepped away from the show following the fourth season.<\/p>\n

Dexter<\/em> centered on the titular\u00a0blood-spatter analyst’s complicated life working for the Miami police department while\u00a0moonlighting a serial killer. Using\u00a0the skills he learned from his adoptive father, a retired police officer<\/a>, and his resources at the MPD, Dexter hunts for victims while adhering to a strict code of only murdering people who have slipped through the cracks of the legal system and are likely to harm others again. The eight-season series concluded with Dexter faking his death and assuming a new identity in Oregon, abandoning his son and lover after\u00a0the death of his sister made it clear that his loved ones will always be in danger because of his\u00a0exploits.<\/p>\n

Production on the Dexter<\/em> revival is scheduled to begin in early 2021, with a tentative premiere date in the fall of the same year. While plot details are not being divulged, Gary Levine, co-president of entertainment for Showtime, assured fans they wouldn’t have revisited the series without a worthwhile concept. “‘Dexter’ is such a special series, both for its millions of fans and for Showtime, as this breakthrough show helped put our network on the map many years ago,” said Levine in a statement. “We would only revisit this unique character if we could find a creative take that was truly worthy of the brilliant, original series. Well, I am happy to report that Clyde Phillips and Michael C. Hall have found it, and we can\u2019t wait to shoot it and show it to the world!”<\/p>\n
