What Is The New Season Of Dexter On

Dexter's Back, Baby! But Where?!

So, you're wondering where to get your fix of everyone's favorite blood-spatter analyst who moonlights as... well, you know. Forget Miami sunshine, because Dexter has traded beaches for blizzards.

That's right, Dexter Morgan (aka Michael C. Hall looking slightly more lumberjack-y) is back in a new series called Dexter: New Blood. It's a limited series, meaning it has a set beginning and end, so savor every stab (figuratively speaking, of course!).

Snow, Secrets, and Small Town Life

Imagine Dexter, but instead of palm trees, there's snowdrifts taller than you. He's ditched the alias and is now living under the name Jim Lindsay, a name borrowed from one of Dexter's victims from the original series. A little morbid humor never hurts, right?

He's got a "normal" job at a local outdoorsy store, a girlfriend who's the chief of police (uh oh!), and he’s trying *really* hard to suppress his... urges. Think of it as Dexter goes to Maine, with all the quirky characters and hidden secrets that small towns tend to have.

The irony is delicious. Here's Dexter, the master of deception, trying to blend into a town where everyone knows everyone else's business. It's like watching a tightrope walker balancing a chainsaw and a birthday cake at the same time.

So, Where Can I Watch This Icy Thriller?

Dexter: New Blood originally aired on Showtime. You can catch it on demand if you subscribe to Showtime through various streaming services, or directly through the Showtime app.

Keep an eye on platforms like Paramount+, as sometimes Showtime content finds its way there too. Streaming services are always shifting things around, so a quick search will give you the most up-to-date info.

What's Different This Time Around?

Prepare for a more introspective Dexter. Years have passed, and he's been (mostly) clean. But as we all know, old habits die hard, especially when a new potential victim triggers his Dark Passenger.

Perhaps the biggest twist? His son, Harrison, shows up! Now a teenager with his own baggage, Harrison's arrival forces Dexter to confront his past and grapple with being a father. A serial killer dad? Now *that's* a sitcom waiting to happen (not really).

Think of it as a father-son road trip, except instead of sightseeing, they're dealing with suppressed rage and a legacy of violence. Awkward family dinners just got a whole lot more interesting.

"He’s still Dexter, but he’s also trying to be something more… or less, depending on your perspective," says a fan online.

Why Should I Bother Watching?

If you loved the original Dexter, New Blood offers a chance to revisit a familiar character in a brand new setting. It's like catching up with an old friend, albeit a friend who occasionally dismembers people (again, figuratively… mostly).

The change of scenery is refreshing, and the introduction of Harrison adds a compelling new dynamic. Plus, the mystery surrounding the town of Iron Lake keeps you guessing until the very end.

But be warned: Dexter: New Blood is a limited series, so once it's over, it's really over. No more snow angels, no more lumberjack chic, just the bittersweet memory of Dexter trying to find his place in the world… one snowy crime scene at a time.
