Dexter Returns with Dark Dexter
As the series unfolds, fans can expect a deeper exploration of Dexter's character and the introduction of new and complex characters, including Uma Thurman and Peter Dinklage, adding to the show's intrigue and suspense.
Michael C. Hall reprises his role as Dexter Morgan in the revived series "Dexter: New Blood", which premiered on July 11 on Showtime, and explores the character's dark qualities in a new setting.
The new series, also known as "Dexter: Resurrection", follows Dexter as he navigates his new life in New York City and tries to reconnect with his son, Harrison. The show introduces a new club of serial killers, led by billionaire Leon Prater, which Dexter becomes fascinated with, and features a mix of dark humor and lighthearted moments.
Hall has expressed that playing the character has had a lasting impact on him, saying "Dexter has probably done a number on me." He has also discussed the challenges of playing a character as dark as Dexter and how it may have affected his own mental health. However, he believes that the show has a therapeutic effect on him, allowing him to explore complex emotions and themes.
The show's return is part of a larger Dexterverse, which includes a prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin, and rumors of a spin-off focused on John Lithgow's Trinity Killer. Hall is not concerned about the show's reception on the internet and is aware that some fans may not have been happy with the ending of the original series.
With the new season of Dexter: Resurrection expected to be a long-running affair, Hall has stated that he does not think the show will resolve everything at the end of the season, and that there will be more to come, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the next episodes.
