Gary Levine, president of entertainment at Showtime said in a statement, “We would only revisit this unique character if we could find a creative take that was truly worthy of the brilliant, original series. Well, I am happy to report that (executive producer) Clyde Phillips and Michael C. Hall have found it.”
Dexter ran for eight seasons until 2013 and brought in the trend for anti-heroes with ambiguous morals. The award-winning serial killer drama will be helmed by original showrunner Clyde Phillips. According to reports, the series is set to go into production in early 2021 with a tentative premiere date of fall 2021.
