‘Dexter: New Blood’ 2021 Preview
The “Dexter” continuation picks up 10 years after the events of the original series. Dexter (Michael C. Hall) is nowliving in Iron Lake, New York, under the name “Jim Lindsay,” where he runs a shop and is dating the chief of police, Angela Bishop (Julia Jones). While “Dexter may be embracing his new life, some “unexpected events in this close-knit community” let his “Dark Passenger” to resurface, according to the Showtime press release.
Also returning alongside Hall is original series star Jennifer Carpenter as Deb, Dexter’s sister. Newcomers to the show include Jack Alcott as Dexter’s now-teenage son Harrison, and Alano Miller, Johnny Sequoyah, and Clancy Brown as townspeople in Dexter’s new life.
In a Q&A with the 2021 Television Critics Association summer press tour, original showrunner Clyde Phillips, who has returned for this continuation, said that the theme for the season is “fathers and sons.”
“When we sat down and figured out what we were going to do, the theme of the season quickly became fathers and sons. And you can’t do a show about Dexter — and with the theme of fathers and sons — without bringing back his son,” said Phillips, adding, “Dexter had left his son when he was five years old, and the son has always thought he was dead, and then found out he was alive, and has a great resentment. And Dexter has a lot of work to do to win his son back and prove that he’s a good father. And we think we get there.”
He later added that this is “not the ninth season of ‘Dexter.'” It is its own thing — but Harrison is not the new Dexter.
“This is a whole new embodiment of the show, a whole new imaging of the show. And I keep using the word ‘new,’ because it’s new blood. Obviously, blood has a lot to do with the show. It is, after all, ‘Dexter.’ But Harrison is not necessarily the new blood. It is the fact that almost a decade has passed since the — since the finale, and we want to acknowledge them,” said Phillips.
The premiere episode is titled “Cold Snap” and its description reads, “For the past decade, Dexter has assimilated into small-town life as a beloved member of the Iron Lake community; when a local hotshot begins behaving recklessly, he questions whether he can continue to suppress the murderous urgings.”
On November 14 comes episode two, titled “Storm of F…”, whose description reads, “Dexter’s cabin becomes home base when a missing person case turns into a crime scene; Dexter is trying to reunite with his son, Harrison.”
“Dexter: New Blood” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on Showtime.
