At the conclusion of Dexter‘s Comic-Con @ Home panel on Sunday, Showtime released the first trailer for the series’ forthcoming revival (AKA Season 9), which will premiere Sunday, Nov. 7 at 9 pm.
It comes roughly a month after the premium cabler released the first footage from the 10-episode limited series, which finds Michael C. Hall’s titular vigilante living in the fictional Upstate New York small town of Iron Lake under the assumed name Jimmy Lindsay.
Dexter: New Blood picks up nearly a decade after the widely panned 2013 finale. Veteran character actor Clancy Brown (Carnivale and Billions) will play the revival’s primary antagonist Kurt Caldwell, the unofficial mayor of Iron Lake.
The cast also includes Goliath‘s Julia Jones (as Iron Lake’s first Native American Chief of Police and — spoiler alert! — Dex’s new romantic squeeze), Underground and Jane the Virgin alum Alano Miller (as an Iron Lake PD sergeant) and Lovecraft Country‘s Jamie Chung (as a famous true-crime podcaster from Los Angeles who finds herself caught up in the still-murky central mystery).
As previously reported, Dexter vet Jennifer Carpenter — whose Debra character was killed off in the 2013 swan song — will make a cameo via a flashback or fantasy sequence. Similarly, John Lithgow will appear briefly even though his Big Bad Trinity Killer (AKA Arthur Mitchell) was murdered by Dex in Season 4.
During Sunday’s Comic-Con Q&A, Hall acknowledged that the poor reaction to the series finale paved the way for Season 9, explaining, “The chance to revisit it and, in the process, redefine the sense of the show’s ending and the sense of the show’s legacy was certainly part of our motivation.”
Is there any chance of this becoming an ongoing series with more seasons?
No chance at all. They have stated this will be a stand alone season to close out with what should be considered a more “satisfying” end to the show for fans. SPOILER ALERT- You should fully expect that Dexter will not be alive after this season.
with Dex ‘managing’ his Urges
I wonder if Deb/Trinity won’t function as the angel/devil on his shoulders pushing/pulling him between staying ‘good’ (either in staying in hiding, and letting ‘the bad guy’ go or simply keeping the code vs full unleashing the Passenger)
The Miami setting was such a big part of the original “Dexter,” it’s interesting to see him in a cold, snowy climate. Looks like the producers spent a lot of time watching Coen brothers movies before filming this (and maybe a little “Resident Alien,” too).
Blood is a dazzling against a snowy background. Hope there is a Cuban owned restaurant in the new town to supply Dexter’s favorite sandwiches.
how can michael c hall look like he has not aged a day???
Oh this is going to be so good and I can’t wait!
Me too!!
Me three!!
If Dexter doesn’t get charged with all the murders he committed he should at least be charged for those bangs. Yikes. (show looks good though)
Dexter we need you here in the MIA FLA USA. I got an apartment for rent you’d just die to see it! The floorboards squeak and the walls are hallow. Perfect to invite your victims I mean guests there. Can’t wait to see you again. We really missed your expert craft.
Yes…Yes…Yes….Yes!!!
Will sunny Miami but that’s ok so long as it’s done right. Can’t wait.
Really looking forward to this ‘revival’ of Dexter!!!
SOOOOOO very excited about Season 9 of Dexter! Even before seeing it, I am SOOOOOO hoping it will have more seasons! Wish there were a way to bring back Deb (full-time)!! Can’t wait until November 7.
I am super excited!!! Dexter was one of binge from start to end
It would have been nice to be able to work in Dexter’s son and girlfriend (Yvonne Strahovsky). Kind of a lost part..
Cant wait watched it from start to finish but he needs Deb,I liked her too
SOOOOOO very excited about Season 9 of Dexter! Even before seeing it, I am SOOOOOO hoping it will have more seasons! Wish there were a way to bring back Deb (full-time)!! Can’t wait until November 7.
Are you just copying Addish’s comment above? Or are you the same person with a different “name”?
Who. Cares.
I was hoping his son and ex would be in it, but it does’t look like it.
Yvonne Strahovski is too busy with The Handmaid’s Tale. But if the revival lasts long enough, surely they will try to get her at least for a cameo at some point.
At the current rate of (6) episodes/season, The Handmaids Tale season shouldn’t be the issue. But, she has been becoming more popular in other productions.
Our favorite quasi Jack The Ripper is back…….
Im hoping for more seasons ! this does look good.
I’m so glad there’s another season, but dang this should be one of at least three seasons- nothing tougher than watching the last season of a good series, knowing it’ll end soon.. at LEAST give us TWO SEASONS for crying out loud!!!
Excited for the revival. But I hope Hulu is doing a revival of the cancelled show last year in wake of COVID-19, “Stumptown”.
I love that showI didnt like the wzy they cliffhanger it and didnt like that his sister died ,because no matter what dexster seem human because of Deb I glad they are bringing him back,I would like to se some more seasons
Trailers were enticing . Followed the 8 seasons of the ‘original’ Dexter… wasn’t enthralled with the Series Finale … it fell flat ! I am looking forward to the revival , and the return of Jennifer Carpenter , as Deb , in any form !!!
