According to DexterNewBlood showrunner Clyde Phillips, Michael C. Hall has known how the revival series would end for over two years. WARNING! Spoilers ahead:
Michael C. Hall knew the ending for Dexter: New Blood two years ago, according to showrunner Clyde Phillips. The original run of Dexter proved hugely successful, and the show received critical acclaim for most of its time on air. After eight seasons, the show came to an end with a hugely polarizing series finale, which drew 2.8 million viewers. Hall played the titular serial killer in every episode and returns for Dexter: New Blood, which takes place a decade after the hated season 8 finale.
Phillips was the original showrunner for seasons 1-4 of the show, before stepping down for season 5. Under his stewardship, Dexter was nominated for a staggering 18 Emmys, including three for Outstanding Drama Series, and Hall won a Golden Globe for his role. So, it came as little surprise that both men reunited for the revival show Dexter: New Blood, which was announced in October 2020.
This all happened about two and a half years ago, so I’m not sure if it was the first or second meeting, but he knew early on that Dexter was going to die. He understood that that was the right decision. If Dexter keeps getting out of a jam every single time then we’re doing a superhero show. We wanted to bring as much humanity as we could to the ending of the show, and to say goodbye to the character with dignity and integrity.
The new series has presented the chance for Dexter to address concerns from the original ending. Series finales can be difficult, and a show can either go out with a whimper or a bang, depending on certain decisions that are made.
With both Hall and Phillips signing on for Dexter: New Blood, it sent a clear message that the star and showrunner had unfinished business with the character, and this was a chance to give the show a fitting ending that both supported and respected the legacy that had come before.
