Miniseries creator Clyde Phillips and Dexter show runner Marcos Siega teamed up to create the American crime drama mystery Dexter: New Blood for Showtime.
It’s been an entire decade since we lost Dexter. In the miniseries Dexter: New Blood, the past appeared to catch up with the serial killer from Miami who was supposed to be dead. Here are all the details regarding Dexter Season 9.
Dexter Season 8 Ending Explained
Dexter and Hannah (Yvonne Strahovski) try to flee for Argentina in the Season 8 finale of Dexter, but Dexter’s plans are thwarted by private investigator Jacob Elway.
Deb Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) is shot by serial killer Oliver Saxon and later suffers a stroke while in the hospital. Dexter kills Saxon, claiming self-defense, after learning that Saxon was responsible for Deb’s death.
After quickly locating Deb, Dexter makes the decision to turn off her life support and then leaves the hospital with her body. On their journey to Argentina, he calls Harrison and Hannah to tell them he loves them.
Following this, Dexter’s boat is discovered in ruins, and it is assumed that he has perished along with it. Just what is the shocking turn of events? He pretended to die and then moved to a small town in Oregon under a new identity. That’s where we’ll find him throughout the revival’s run.
Dexter Season 9 Release Date
Set ten years after the series finale of the original show, “Remember the Monsters?” (airing in 2013), the tale picks up where we left off. The premiere date was November 7, 2021, on Showtime.
The series was supposed to be a one-off, but in February 2023 it was announced that a second season would be produced focusing on Dexter’s son Harrison.

Synopsis of Dexter Season 9
Dexter Morgan pretended to die in a hurricane 10 years ago, so he could go to the made-up town of Iron Lake, New York and start a new life under the alias Jim Lindsay, working at a local outdoor gear shop.
He is in a committed relationship with Angela Bishop, the town’s police chief, and has managed to control his cravings for vigilante serial murders. Dexter often imagines his dead sister Debra is nearby. His former partner’s son Harrison shows up in the pilot episode for unknown reasons.
Dexter worries that the “Dark Passenger” inside of him and possibly inside of his son will expose itself after a series of events occur near Iron Lake.
Which Streaming Service Offers the Dexter Series?
Unlike Amazon Prime Video, Netflix does not carry the Dexter series. While Amazon Prime members get access to the original Dexter series, the Dexter: New Blood spinoff requires the purchase of an additional Showtime subscription.
