Storyline:

After faking his death ten years ago in a hurricane, Dexter Morgan has moved to the fictional small town of Iron Lake, New York, hiding his identity under the name of Jim Lindsay, a clerk at a local wilderness sporting gear store. He has a romantic relationship with the town’s chief of police Angela Bishop, and has been successfully suppressing his vigilante serial killing urges. Dexter’s deceased sister, Debra, is an imaginary presence he often speaks to.

In the first episode, his estranged son Harrison from his previous life arrives unannounced with mysterious motives. A string of incidents around Iron Lake causes Dexter to fear that the “Dark Passenger” within him, and potentially within his son, will reveal itself.

About Series:

On October 14, 2020, the Dexter revival was ordered as a limited series consisting of 10 episodes. Dexter: New Blood is a continuation of the series Dexter, developed by original series showrunner, Clyde Phillips, and directed by Marcos Siega and Sanford Bookstaver

Production began in February 2021, with most of the show filmed in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, serving as a stand-in for Iron Lake. Exterior filming had to be coordinated around the weather, as the creators wanted to have a significant amount of snow in those shots, including a local frozen lake. Interior filming at New England Studios started around July 2021 over a fifty-day period. The series developer Clyde Phillips said there were 119 days of filming.

Dexter: New Blood premiered on Showtime on November 7, 2021.

It was confirmed in February 2023 that a second season, centered on the character of Dexter’s son Harrison, was in development for broadcast at a later date. In addition, a prequel, Dexter: Original Sin, was ordered to series. In July 2024, it was announced that instead of a second season, New Blood will be followed by a series titled Dexter: Resurrection.
