8 h. ago ‘I’m a healthier person for playing a serial killer’: Michael C Hall on Dexter’s wildly improbable return

Grisly dismemberment! Internet hatred! Uma Thurman! The Emmy-winning 00s show about a murderer is back with a celeb-stuffed spin-off – and its star thinks it might be the first of many series to comeIt seems as if Dexter Morgan just cannot die.

It climaxed with Morgan sailing his boat into an unsurvivable storm, a sure sign that our favourite serial-killing blood spatter analyst had finally met his end. But then the show lost its nerve and he somehow ended up in a postscript with a new job (lumberjack) and a new beard (unconvincing).Next came 2021’s Dexter: New Blood, a series that was conceived as a definitive full stop for the character.

However, now Morgan finds himself back yet again in Dexter: Resurrection, in which we quickly learn that this apparently fatal injury was merely a flesh wound. Continue reading...
