Dexter is going to be around ‘for many years to come’, say showrunner and star

April 16th, 2025 by Marc Comments

If, like me, you’re a big fan of TV’s greatest serial killer/anti-hero, Dexter Morgan, then today is a good day.

After a disappointing send-off for Dexter, played by Micheal C Hall, not once (Dexter) but twice (Dexter: New Blood), it was the unexpectedly superb prequel series Dexter: First Blood = with Patrick Gibson playing Dexter – which got everyone excited for more of Hall’s take on the iconic character.

And it seems there will be much, much more to come…

Dexter: Original Sin gets second season order at Showtime/Paramount+

Dexter: Resurrection showrunner Clyde Phillips and star Michael C Hall sat down with Vanity Fair (which had a load of new images from the series which you can check out below), and revealed that “Dexter: Resurrection won’t be a limited series. It’s built to last for many more seasons”.

“We’ve got the strongest franchise in Showtime’s history, and we plan to do this for years,” Phillips says.

Backing up Phillips’ comments, Hall said: “Years with an ‘s’. The thinking is not to come back for a sort of self-contained one-off again, but leave it open to further exploration. The intention, and hope, is that the story will continue beyond this.

More Dexter spinoffs, sequels and prequels being developed

“Hell, even if that weren’t the case, Dexter Morgan is a hard guy to keep down. He’s a much more human, flesh-and-blood version of that horror trope of someone who just refuses to go down,” Hall says.

With word being that Dexter would be getting more spinoffs and prequel series Dexter: Original Sin getting a secodn season, it looks like Dexter isn’t going anywhere soon and, if we’re lucky, we may see more from his world too, even if he doesnt’ appear in all the stories.

The John Wick of serial killers? I can live with that.

Guess it pays to live by the code, huh?

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
