A well-known series character – and serial killer – is making his comeback. "Dexter" with Michael C. Hall gets ten new episodes.
As a serial killer with a sense of justice, Michael C. Hall (49) assassinated his way through the Showtime series "Dexter" from 2006 to 2013 – and got a final finale after eight seasons. But as the US site "Variety" reports, Hall will once again slip into the role of the title antihero in order to bring about bloody vigilante justice in a limited sequel.
What is known so far?
Details about the project are still under strict secrecy. For example, when it comes to the question of whether the ten new episodes that have been announced can be viewed as a postponed ninth season, or whether they will be independent of the actual series. According to the report, filming is to begin in 2021, and the possible release date is autumn 2021. As in the first eight seasons, Clyde Phillips (62) was brought on board again as showrunner, it continues. According to reports, it will be a one-time TV return.
Gary Levine, Co-President of Showtime, was quoted as saying, "We only wanted to return to this one-of-a-kind character if we could find a creative shoot worthy of the brilliant original. I'm pleased to say that Clyde Phillips and Michael C. Hall found him. "
