Okay, let's talk about Dexter. Or rather, the *idea* of more Dexter.
We’ve all been there, right? That desperate Google search: "When is the next episode of Dexter coming out?" The anticipation! The hope!
The Endless Wait: Are We There Yet?
Honestly, it feels like we’ve been asking this question since... well, since Dexter *ended* the first time. Remember that lumberjack phase? Shudder.
Then, BAM! Dexter: New Blood! Hope springs eternal! For, like, ten episodes.
Now, we’re back in limbo. Staring at our screens. Pondering the universe. And, of course, Googling.
So, About That Next Episode...
Here’s the thing. Officially? There’s no next episode… *yet*.
Showtime (now Paramount+) hasn’t given the green light for a new season. But… never say never.
Hollywood loves a revival. And Dexter, despite its… divisive ending(s), is a valuable property.
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves!)
Okay, here it comes. Deep breath. I don't necessarily *need* more Dexter.
I know, I know! Blasphemy! But hear me out. Did New Blood really add anything essential to Dexter Morgan's story?
For me, it was like visiting an old friend who's aged… poorly. The spark was gone. The charm felt forced.
The Legacy of the Bay Harbor Butcher
The original Dexter, at its best, was brilliant. Darkly funny. Thought-provoking.
Michael C. Hall's portrayal of the morally ambiguous serial killer was captivating.
But maybe, just maybe, some stories are best left…finished. Imperfect endings and all.
What's A Fan To Do?
If you’re itching for more Dexter, rewatch the original series!.
Those early seasons were gold. Relive the tension! Remember Doakes! (Surprise, motherf***er!).
And if a new season *does* eventually surface? Approach it with cautious optimism. Maybe even lowered expectations?
The Waiting Game Continues
Ultimately, the answer to "When does the next episode of Dexter come out?" is… TBD.
Until then, we're left with speculation, rumors, and the faint hope that if they *do* bring him back, they do it right.
Because let's be honest, Dexter Morgan deserves a better ending than… well, *both* of the ones he’s already got.
So, keep Googling (we all do it!), but maybe temper your excitement. The return of Dexter is not something to expect with certainty.
Maybe it is okay to let Dexter rest in peace. Just a thought!
