‘Dexter’ Season 9 Spoilers: Revival Will Include Time Jump, New Location

• ‘Dexter’ Season 9 will see a big time jump.
• The serial killer will still be struggling with his demons.
• The show will on Showtime next year.

Dexter Season 9 will return in 2021, and fans are already speculating about what the revival will have in store for the lovable serial killer Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall).

According to TV Insider, the revival is very much a new chapter in Dexter’s life. The show will still have the same element of dark horror and murder that fueled the original series. However, there will be some definite changes.

The show’s executive producer, Clyde Phillips, revealed in a recent interview that fans will see plenty of death in the brand new batch of episodes, as the series still revolves around the character’s overpowering need to kill.

Dexter’s ‘Dark Passenger’ is still around in Season 9

“We’re moving forward to an ending that will be, as Chekhov said, surprising but inevitable. Dexter always has what we call ‘the dark passenger’ living inside him. He is more grounded than he’s ever been, but that dark passenger is a voice he cannot deny. This is Dexter. People are going to die.”

Phillips admitted that Season 9 will have Dexter living in a location that fans have never seen him before. The Season 8 finale ended with Dexter presumed dead. However, he faked his death and started a new life in Oregon. Phillips’ new information now hints that Dexter will not be in Oregon or in Miami, Florida, where the original series was set.

Meanwhile, Phillips hasn’t been holding back when it comes to sharing revival spoilers with fans. He recently opened up about how the show’s new episodes will stay canon with the first eight seasons.

The show will stay true to the original series finale

Every character that has already died will stay dead. This means that fans won’t be seeing character such as Maria or Dexter’s sister, Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter). The dead will stay dead when we see the serial killer again.

“We’re not undoing anything. We’re not going to betray the audience and say, ‘Whoops, that was all a dream.’ What happened in the first eight years happened in the first eight years.”

‘Dexter’ will have a second chance to get the ending right

“We basically do get to start from scratch. We want this to not be Dexter Season 9. Ten years, or however, many years have passed by the time this will air, and the show will reflect that time passage. In so far as the ending of the show, this will have no resemblance to how the original finale was. It’s a great opportunity to write a second finale for our show, and Showtime was very gracious about that.”
