Dexter: New Blood
Long time no spree.
Created by Clyde Phillips
On Showtime
A dark, introspective limited series about a serial killer's attempt at redemption undone by his compulsions, grounded in a small-town setting and father-son reckoning.
10 years after Dexter went missing in the eye of Hurricane Laura, we find him living under an assumed name in the small town of Iron Lake, New York. Dexter may be embracing his new life, but in the wake of unexpected events in this close-knit community, his Dark Passenger beckons.
