Dexter's Future Being "Actively Worked On" at Showtime

 Earlier this year, Showtime brought notorious television serial killer Dexter Morgan and his Dark Passenger to their final destination with the finale of Dexter: New Blood, but the story may be far from over.

 In 2021, Showtime premiered a 10-episode revival of Dexter titled Dexter: New Blood. The series finds The Bay Harbor Butcher living under a new identity in a small, frozen town in upstate New York nearly a decade after the events of the original series. After going a decade without a kill, he relapses and his long-lost son shows up at his doorstep to make matters all the more complicated. The show was believed to be the end of Dexter, given he meets his fate in the final episode, but Showtime thinks there's potential for more.

Dexter star Michael C. Hall noted he'll "never say never" when it comes to playing Dexter Morgan again, but stated he's not contractually obligated to return and feels satisfied with the ending the character got. After the series concluded, Dexter: New Blood showrunner Clyde Phillips stated he believed the series was Showtime's number one asset and would happily do a spin-off centered around Dexter's son, Harrison. Showtime also saw major success with the revival, as Dexter: New Blood was Showtime's most streamed show of all-time as of January 2022.

The biggest title to hit streaming next month is coming to Prime Video. On Friday, the streaming service will release the premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, which is one of the most expensive TV shows ever produced. The series hopes to be streaming's answer to Game of Thrones and all eyes will be on Prime Video to see just how good it is. Lord of the Rings isn't the only big franchise with a TV show arriving in September. On September 21st, Disney+ will be releasing the first three episodes of Andor, a prequel series to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Disney+ will also be releasing new episode of Marvel's She-Hulk: Attorney at Law throughout the month.
