Showtime has finally dropped the first trailer for the upcoming Dexter: New Blood revival. This new batch of episodes are slated to start hitting the network on November 7, and there are a total of 10 on the way, each one-hour long.
From the very first announcement that the show is coming back late last year, the creative team behind the slasher drama has made it clear they want to right a few wrongs from how the original series wrapped up. To put it bluntly, star Michael C. Hall himself in a Comic-Con 2021 panel said the show "deserved a better ending… the ending was mystifying at best… confounding, exasperating, frustrating on down the line of negative adjectives."
Check out this new trailer above to see how they're resetting the scene and putting new pieces on the board to hopefully drive it towards a more satisfying conclusion. And speaking of endings, make sure to watch until the very end of the clip for a new surprised not previously discussed for the revival. In a recent behind-the-scenes clip promoting the season, showrunner Clyde Phillips said he believes the reboot will be "satisfying and controversial."
Dexter: New Blood premieres on November 7 on Showtime. In addition to Hall returning, both Jennifer Carpenter (Deb) and John Lithgow (the Trinity Killer) will be reprising their roles on the new series as ghosts or echos who come back to haunt Dexter. Clancy Brown (Shawshank Redemption, SpongeBob) is playing the main villain.
