Synopsis:
10 years after Dexter Morgan went missing in the eye of Hurricane Laura, the revival sees the character now living under an assumed name in a world away from Miami.
Julia Jones (
Sylvie’s Love), Johnny Sequoyah (
Believe), and Jack Alcott (
Pet Sematary Two,
Shawshank Redemption) plays the villain, Kurt Caldwell.
Marcos Siega will helm six of the revival’s ten episodes. He will also executive produce with Hall. John Goldwyn will too with Sara Colleton, Bill Carraro, and also Scott Reynolds. Clyde Phillips, the showrunner on the first four seasons, returns as well.
We don’t know exactly when
The revival picks up 10 years after the titular character went missing in Hurricane Laura. He’s living in the fictional town of Iron Lake in Upstate New York with a new identity. (Last we saw Dexter in the original series, he’d been living in Oregon.)
In these 10 new episodes, Dexter will be contending with a new villain, Iron Lake’s mayor Kurt Caldwell (Clancy Brown). Also populating the town are its first Native American Chief of Police Angela Bishop (Julia Jones), her teenage daughter Audrey (Johnny Sequoyah), and sergeant and assistant wrestling coach at the high school Logan (Alano Miller). Plus, Jack Alcott plays Randall; we know Dexter will have “a meaningful encounter” with him, according to Showtime.
DEXTER: Michael C. Hall Teases New Season May Not Be The End
Michael C. Hall teases that Showtime’s upcoming limited ninth season of Dexter might not be the end of the series. By Mike Sprague
Showtime’s limited series
Dexter revival with Michael C. Hall hits this year. And today, Hall has teased the upcoming ninth season might not be the last one.
Hall tells NME: “
I’m reluctant to say ‘definitely’, you know? What’s plain now is that there are 10 new episodes.”
Sounds good to me. For now…
He adds: “
I’m looking forward to getting back into Dexter’s shoes. I don’t really know what to expect, as I’ve never returned to a job after so much time. Having Dexter in a completely different context, we’ll see how that feels. It’s been interesting to figure out how to do that and I thought it was time to find out what the hell happened to him.”
