America’s favorite serial killer is hiding out in upstate New York when we finally spot him again
NEW YORK -- America's favorite serial killer is hiding out in upstate New York when we finally catch up to him. The good news is he hasn't killed anyone in a decade. The bad news is his knife skills are still top-notch.
Michael C. Hall, who plays the troubled hero of the “Dexter” series, steps back into the role with Showtime's “Dexter: New Blood,” resurrecting one of TV's darkest characters after an eight-year break and an ending that many found unsatisfying. It starts Sunday.
“The fact that the ending of the series was both open-ended and unsatisfying was part of the motivation to come back and revisit the character with all this time having passed and find out more definitively what happened to him,” says Hall.
The new series isn't a ninth season, but a departure. Dexter Morgan has abandoned warm and bustling Miami for the fictional small town of Iron Lake, New York. The 10-episode series takes place over 17 days in the icy winter, as blood mixes with snow.
