Michael C. Hall is happy with the way Dexter: New Blood ended. Dexter first aired in October 2006 on Showtime, where the crime drama ran eight seasons and 96 episodes, before finishing with the controversial season eight finale in September 2013. Following a blood splatter analyst for Miami police, who secretly moonlights as a vigilante serial killer hunting down criminals, Dexter was a big hit for Showtime and received critical acclaim.
Hall played the titular character for all eight seasons of the show and has enjoyed a strong career since. And when it was announced in October 2020 that the show would be revived, Hall confirmed his return to the role. The 10-episode limited series, titled Dexter: New Blood, premiered on Showtime November 7, 2021, and is set 10 years after the events of the original show.
"The way the season concludes is one that resonates with me. It feels justifiable. As upsetting as it may be, I hope audiences will appreciate the resonance of Dexter dying this way at the hands of his son." Choosing to kill off the main character in any TV show is always a risk, and it is one that can often elicit fury from devoted fans who bond with characters and want to see them survive. It can also sometimes feel forced and out of place, which is why so many shows avoid doing it. However, there are certainly situations and scenarios where shows killing off the hero not only makes sense but is, in a lot of ways, necessary.
Showrunner Clyde Phillips clearly planned for this finale to happen several years in advance, with reports that Hall knew about the ending before he even signed on. Whether fans will react as positively to this as Hall remains to be seen, and there is always the risk of a big backlash. But, as a rule of thumb, it should be the ending that feels right for the show and for the character, as opposed to what the fans want to see from the show.
Are you kidding me? The worst end ever!!! I was hoping for the new adventures of Morgan guys,killing bad people. 😭😭😭
When you think there’s no way it can be worse then Dexter’s series finale
Good way to bring it back to have a better completion
the GOAT is never wrong
