DEXTER: NEW BLOOD Won't Get A Second Season, But "Young Dexter" Prequel Series Is Likely

Though many saw 2021's Dexter: New Blood as a satisfactory send-off for the titular serial killer, a second season was said to be in development. Now, we're hearing that plans have changed...

Showtime's recent Dexter revival, New Blood, proved to be a massive success, and we had heard that a second season was in the early stages of development. However, TV Line (via FearHQ.com) is now reporting that the story will not continue.

According to the site, Showtime will not be moving forward with a second season of Dexter: New Blood - but the network is far from done with the Dexter franchise.

Spoilers follow!

New Blood concluded with the titular serial killer's son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), shooting his dear old dad (Michael C. Hall) dead when he discovered that he'd killed the innocent Sgt. Logan. It seemed like a definitive end to the macabre tale, but a second season would reportedly have picked up with Harrison following in his late father's bloody footsteps.

Disappointing news for fans, but Showtime - which will soon merge with Paramount+ - is said to be exploring several spin-off ideas, including a prequel series focusing on a younger version of Dex.

We're not sure how well a prequel show would go over, considering the original Dexter series included numerous flashbacks to the anti-hero's youth and may be viewed as a mostly unnecessary endeavour.

What do you guys make of this update? Would you have liked to see a second season of Dexter: New Blood, or do you think the final episode delivered a satisfying conclusion?
