Product Information

Speaking to TVLine, showrunner Clyde Phillips said: “It’s all in Showtime’s hands. If they were to call me and say, ‘We want to do Harrison. We want you to figure it out,’ I’m pretty busy, but I would drop everything I’m doing and jump right into it. I would love to do it, but it’s really up to Showtime.” Image credit: Showtime) Dexter season 8 ending explained, how will this work into the upcoming season? Alcott spoke of what it was like to play the character responsible for axing a truly memorable anti-hero. As a result, who will be joining the cast list is up for debate. He has no ties to any living relatives that we know of. He could literally go anywhere. The end of Dexter season 8 finds Dexter making choices. His sister Deb takes a bullet during the final showdown with serial killer Saxon. Rushed to hospital and into surgery, she suffers a blood clot during the procedure, and has a stroke. Dexter arrives too late. In what he believes is an act of mercy, takes his sister from life support, loads her onto his boat, the Slice of Life, and drops her body into the water before peeling away.

Alcott admitted to feeling the pressure when it came to the actual shooting in the climactic death scene.I think the ending was ‘mystifying’ at best to people," Hall explained during Comic-Con@Home 2021. "‘Confounding,’‘exasperating,’‘frustrating’... the chance to revisit it and, maybe in the process, redefine the sense of the show’s ending and the sense of the show’s legacy more broadly was certainly a part of our motivation.”

Dexter wouldn't be Dexter without a new romance to complicate things for him. His new love interest is Angela, played by Julia Jones, a police chief who sounds like she's got a fair amount in common with the titular character. “She’s challenging," Jones explained at Comic-Con. "She’s got a lot going on. She’s in a wonderful arc, and she’s dynamic and she has a lot to overcome.“ Last we saw of the teenage son of a serial killer, he was on the run after shooting his dad dead. Police chief Angela Bishop (Julia Jones) took the blame for Dexter's death after finding Harrison with the body, allowing him to start life anew without the burden of his dad's murder to deal with.

You would think the answer to this would be "no" if you watched the season finale. After his past was unearthed, Dexter – who had rebranded himself to become local shop worker Jim Lindsay – finally met a grisly end. Because even though it is the right ending, the ending the show deserves, the ending the character deserves, the ending the character wants, there's definitely some guilt that comes with killing off one of the coolest TV characters of all time."

We can't say that was the greatest decision on her part considering viewers already know he's got a bit of a dangerous killer streak himself, but there you go. There are a lot of things. What is the future [of] the Dexter franchise? I am actively working on that." But in a bid to escape Iron Lake as Dexter's past misdeeds started catching up with him, Harrison ended up turning a gun on his dad after he failed to abide by his own rules over who should and shouldn't live. This "creative take" finds Dexter now living in the fictional town of Iron Lake, New York, where he works as a shopkeeper under the assumed name of Jim Lindsay. A string of incidents in the small town are a cause for concern for Dexter, who believes he's quashed his desires, but fears his "dark passenger" is about to awaken. Now, that's not an outright no, even if it isn't the promising renewal announcement we were hoping for...

In the finale, it seemed the pair were finally bonding after being reunited, with them both sharing their dark sides and urge to kill. They were both "born in blood" as Dexter himself would say, thanks to historical childhood trauma where both, tragically, were left in tears covered in their parents' blood after their murders. Hall confirms that Dexter "hasn't been killing" since we last saw him, restraining himself from urges. "If he’s going around killing people, he’s going to struggle to have a life… though he does maintain a fantasy that he’s able to do both.” In August 2022, TV executive David Nevins continued to stoke the flames of a possible return during his chat with The Hollywood Reporter about future plans for Paramount Global: We're willing to bet that the Dexterverse will continue somehow. Whether that means another season of Dexter: New Blood, or a series under a new name following Harrison, we'll have to wait and see. Regardless, in a conversation with Deadline, show-runner Clyde Phillips seemed confident in Dexter: New Blood's value to Showtime, in addition to confirming his interest in continuing Harrison's story. Another Dexter ending to blow up the Internet? Don't mind if we do. Dexter: New Blood, we cannot wait to binge you.TV Linereported that the show was the most watched series in Showtime history averaging 8 million weekly viewers across all platforms. 3 million viewers tuned in for the finale on the premiere night alone making it the most-watched Showtime finale in eight years, falling just short of the Dexter finale which attracted a whopping 3.3 million viewers in 2013. In playing with it, we discovered that it comes up later, it makes a lot more room for a nuanced scene. It's less of just an angry son shooting his dad and more of a mutual discovery that this is how it's supposed to end and it won't work any other way." But I also feel incredibly blessed to be part of a story that's going to affect a lot of people. Whether it makes them angry, happy or sad, whether it makes them hate me, whatever, it's cool to tell stories that affect people—regardless of what that effect is."
