Broadcast between 2006 and 2013, the series created by James Manor Jr, returns to our screens after a long stop. Dexter, since it is about her, will be broadcast from October 14, 2021 on Showtime. If you are in love with this series, discover in this article the future plots that will be addressed in this new ninth season.

Synopsis of the previous 8 seasons

If you know the series, you know that it tells the story of Dexter Morgan, a forensic expert for the Miami Police Department, who devoted his spare time to killing murderers in cold blood escaping justice. The clear instruction of the executives of the Showtime channel to the writers of the series to "do not kill Dexter Morgan" had led to write a finale in which, the main character faked his disappearance, left Miami and his family for Oregon, where he ended up a lumberjack. Settled in a cabin, he had taken care to send his son Harrison and his girlfriend Hannah to Argentina. The door had just been opened for a sequel, in the form of a mini season event, limited to ten (10) episodes, which you can follow in priority on Showtime or later on the various broadcasting platforms.

The crazy casting

At this point, very little is known about the plot. What is certain, Michael C. Hall, the actor playing Dexter will be well in his role for this sequel. Besides, no one would have done it better than him. The star of Six Feet Under is delighted to be able to propose a new ending. On the proposed ending, he told The Daily Beast that "People found the way the show had left things quite unsatisfying, and there was always hope that a story would emerge that might be worth telling. Like many people I ask myself "has hell happened to this guy? ». Adding to the NME, that he had "never had this experience of playing a character of so many years " and that "What mattered was that I was presented with a story that deserved to be told. In the past, I have received other proposals and possibilities for Dexter, other routes that we have imagined, but this is the first one that convinced me that we deserved to continue. " The teasing of the series reveals the new faces who will intervene with Michael C. Hall. We noted in particular that of Clancy Brown, who will be the main antagonist of Dexter. He will play a character named Kurt Caldwell, the mayor of a small town called Iron Lake. There will be Lovecraft Country actress Jamie Chung who will play Molly, a podcast creator about real crimes in Los Angeles. Oscar Wahlberg, who starred in Manchester By the Sea, is announced as Zach, the captain of the Iron Lake High School wrestling team. In addition, the cast included Julia Jones as the city's police chief, Alano Miller as a high school wrestling sergeant and coach, Johnny Sequoyah as the chief's daughter, and Jack Alcott as Randall. In terms of technical teams, the surprise is the return of Clyde Phillips, who left at the end of season 4. He will be at the helm, with Marcos Siega, who had already directed nine episodes of the series, at his side. He will produce and direct six this time.

The plot of this new season

The story begins 10 years after Dexter Morgan was allegedly killed in the eye of Hurricane Laura. On the first images unveiled in the teaser, we find the former specialist of blood splatters for the Miami police in his cabin in the middle of the snowy forest. The shaved beard and proud look, his murderous impulses, and his malevolence have obviously not been calmed down. As proof, we can see in plastic a bound body, behind him. Immediately the camera zooms out which reveals Hall smiling, standing at a window on which the victim is reflected struggling to free himself, with in the background the song " Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood " by Nina Simone. Fans, who had been very disappointed by the end reserved for the series, may change their minds, because we believe, Dexter will live up to expectations.
