About

Dexter: New Blood is a crime drama miniseries that serves as a continuation of the original Dexter series. Set ten years after the events of the original finale, it follows Dexter Morgan, now living under the alias Jim Lindsay in the small town of Iron Lake, New York. He has suppressed his serial killing urges and is in a relationship with the town's police chief, Angela Bishop. However, his life is disrupted by the arrival of his estranged son, Harrison, who has been searching for him. This reunion sparks a series of events that reawaken Dexter's "Dark Passenger," leading him back into his vigilante ways. The series explores themes of family, identity, and the struggle with one's darker impulses. It introduces new characters, such as Matt Caldwell, a local bully, and Kurt Caldwell, Matt's influential father, who becomes a significant antagonist. The story culminates in a dramatic confrontation between Dexter and Harrison, leading to a shocking conclusion. Dexter: New Blood received generally favorable reviews for its attempt to rectify the original series' divisive finale and for Michael C. Hall's compelling performance as Dexter. However, recent developments in the franchise have altered the impact of this conclusion.
