Michael ’s ready.” … Those are the key words: “Michael’s ready” - to talk about the show. So if this is business, let’s talk about it.” He said, “You’re right, I’m busted. I said, “Gary, you’ve got two daughters who live in New York … you don’t want to see me. You want to have lunch?” We’re very good friends, and plus, I’d done the first four years of Dexter for him and the last three years of Nurse Jackie for him. And he says to me, “I’m going to be in New York. Phillips: July 1, 2019, my phone rings at Martha’s Vineyard, and it’s Gary Levine, who’s the president of Showtime. But when did discussions begin in earnest for what became Dexter: New Blood? The revival was announced officially last October. I couldn’t be happier that I didn’t get a chance to pitch it, because we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now. was just what was in my head, and I may have pitched it successfully or unsuccessfully.

DEXTER SCRIPT SEASON 4 SERIES
You know that fans were unsatisfied with the Dexter series finale in 2013. And its own specific closing, end title cards, as well.
Each episode will have its own specific opening sequence. The credits we had before were wonderful … but we wanted something different, because everything about the show is different, except what isn’t different. But it’s completely different, with different music, and reflects the fact that it’s icy, that it’s cold. Are we going to get a cool new opener for Dexter: New Blood? The screeners didn’t have an opening sequence. Wait ‘til - you haven’t seen with the opening credits in it.

And Dexter reunited with Clyde Phillips, the showrunner of those first four seasons of the series that introduced TV audiences to the serial killer and the villainous serial murdering baddies he made it his business to protect the good people of Miami from. Dexter reunited with his now teenage son, Harrison (Jack Alcott). Hall) reunited with his adopted sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), sort of. We’ve waited nearly a decade for Dexter Morgan to get the proper ending he so deserved back in 2013, and instead of a new episode, we’re getting a whole limited series: Dexter: New Blood, with some major reunions that make all that waiting worthwhile.
