61 Dexter: New Blood: Season 1

Drama series debuts November 7 on Showtime

Your favorite lumberjack is back. Picking up a decade after the events of the much-criticized 2013 finale and on the opposite side of the country in the fictional upstate New York town of Iron Lake, this 10-episode revival of the Showtime serial killer drama series Dexter finds Michael C. Hall's title character posing as a local shopkeeper (and, conveniently, dating the town's police chief, played by Julia Jones). Other new faces include Clancy Brown, Alano Miller, and Jamie Chung, while Dexter vet Jennifer Carpenter will again be a series regular despite the minor detail that her character happens to be dead. (Also back from the dead: John Lithgow's Trinity Killer.) Also returning to guide New Blood is another familiar name: Clyde Phillips, the showrunner for Dexter's first four (and, arguably, best) seasons.
