Showtime has revealed the first full trailer for the upcomingDexterrevival, which reunites leadMichael C. Hallwith original series showrunnerClyde Phillipsfor a 10-episode limited series that will offer a new definitive resolution to Dexter Morgan’s story. The trailer was revealed as part of this year’s Comic-Con@Home. TheDexterrevival series will premiere on Showtime November 7.
The trailer reveals that Dexter has started a new life under the alias of Jim Lindsay — and possibly a new romance with Chief of Police Angela Bishop (played byThe Mandalorian’sJulia Jones) — but those old killing urges of his might prove too strong to ignore after all. How long can he continue to hide from the past?
Dexter’s revival will be resurrecting more than one familiar face besides Hall’s; it was revealed in recent months that characters from the original show will be reprising their roles, chief among themJohn Lithgowas one of Dexter’s most notorious nemeses, the Trinity Killer, as well asJennifer Carpenteras Dexter’s foster sister Debra Morgan. Given that both of these characters technically died during the original run ofDexter’s eight seasons, it’s unclear what parts these pieces of Dexter’s past will have to play in the revival. Maybe they’ll take on the role of new hallucinations for the serial killer, similar to how Dexter’s foster father Harry Morgan (James Remar) frequently popped up again from the afterlife.
