It’s a direct continuation of “Dexter: New Blood” following the beloved character as he once again tries to navigate his existence as a killer. The newest series expands the well known story with a new spin as fans learn that Dexter Morgan did in fact survive.
Production on the sequel series began this year. The show will make its debut on Paramount+ sometime in the summer this year. Michael C. Hall shared that production had officially started for the new season. This gave fans their first sign of all new content that would be coming soon.
Hall shared he will be returning to the role he had previously stated he was only open to coming back for under certain situations.

Those who were viewers of “Dexter: Original Sin” received new insights that showed how he had survived being shot in the previous series.
“Dexter: Original Sin” provided an opening scene that showed he was rushed to the hospital and recovered. Show runner Clyde Phillips teased that his blood loss had also slowed due to snow and cold weather conditions. In addition the series also reveals how he became exposed as a serial killer making him a fugitive to law enforcement and possibly putting him into new difficult circumstances.
This new series will pick up with what could be viewed as new challenges that are unknown. Many have questioned if that could also include new or returning villains that have come to make things even more difficult for Dexter.

Because the location of the filming has been revealed many fans and paparazzi are expected to take to these public places to document any part of production.
Fans continue to hold out hope for other actors such as Desmond Harrington as Joey Quinn even though there are no confirmations as of this time. These moments of speculation make the public more interested and allows them to hope to see their favorite players within a new and exciting context.
The story has made an evolution since the first initial series in 2006. Over the many different variations from past series’ to present the plot points create intrigue into future story telling.
"Dexter" began in 2006 with 8 seasons of Michael C. Hall's interpretation. Then after several years “Dexter: New Blood” gave many elements and storylines a chance to be told. All of which still had people demanding more after what had appeared to be a tragic and decisive ending to all prior storylines.
The series released its prequel last month “Dexter: Original Sin” that starred another actor Patrick Gibson while Hall took on the narrator’s voice. The origin of the characters had become something viewers wished to see while also exploring a new avenue of creativity with their beloved character.
With so much activity being present in the series fans will now have something new to look forward to as summer comes closer with unique content that has already proven a hit with those who like darker character roles.
