‘Dexter: New Blood,’ created by Clyde Phillips, is a mystery crime drama series that acts as a sequel to the original ‘Dexter,’ which aired from 2006 to 2013. Both shows are based on ‘Dexter Morgan’s books by American novelist Jeff Lindsay, however, they have little in common with the source material.
It features the eponymous character enjoying a normal existence in the little New York hamlet of Iron Lake. He hasn’t felt the desire to murder someone in over a decade. When Dexter discovers a killer who has evaded prosecution living nearby, the Dark Passenger stirs within him once more. To make matters worse, Harrison, his son with Rita, shows up at his house one day.
The revival series earned mostly positive reviews after its debut. Phillips was the original series’ showrunner for the first four seasons, therefore his return to the program was welcomed by both critics and fans. While the majority of the episodes of ‘Dexter: New Blood’ received excellent reviews, the finale drew mixed reviews due to the ending and the eventual fate of the main character. If you’ve already seen the first season and want to know where season 2 will be, we’ve got you covered.
The Release Date For Dexter New Blood Season 2
Season 1 of ‘Dexter: New Blood’ began on Showtime on November 7, 2021, and lasted ten 58-43-minute episodes before concluding on January 9, 2022. This is all we know about Season 2. Neither Showtime nor the series’ producers have acknowledged the development of a second season of ‘Dexter: New Blood.’
However, Phillips told Deadline in an interview that if the network contacted him, he would gladly return to continue the story. “I’m convinced the numbers will continue to rise once people start bingeing this following the finale,” he said. “It’s up to Showtime to contact me if they want more.” If they ask if I want to continue with this, I would reply yes. I have a lot on my plate, but I would drop everything and say yes in an instant.”
Phillips previously hinted at more ‘Dexter programming in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s ‘TV’s Top 5’ podcast. “Let me say this to address that: Never say never,” he said in response to a question regarding a possible second season. I had the option of saying yes or no. Never say never, in my opinion. Anything can happen, and I’m not going to guarantee that this is the end of the series. That’s a really revealing response, in my opinion.”

Furthermore, Scott Reynolds, who was involved in the development of both the original and the revival, informed show fans on Twitter that significant announcements about the show would be announced on January 10, 2022. If the show is renewed, season 2 of ‘Dexter: New Blood’ will premiere in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Dexter New Blood Season 2 Cast: Who Could Appear?
Season 1 of ‘Dexter: New Blood stars Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan/Jim Lindsay/Bay Harbor Butcher, Jack Alcott as Harrison Morgan, Jennifer Carpenter as Debra Morgan, Julia Jones as Police Chief Angela Bishop, and Clancy Brown as Clancy Brown (Kurt Caldwell). Johnny Sequoyah (Audrey Bishop), Alano Miller (Sergeant Logan), Jamie Chung (Molly Park), John Lithgow (Arthur Mitchell/Trinity Killer), and David Zayas round out the cast (Angel Batista).
The characters of Hall, Carpenter, Brown, Miller, Chung, and Lithgow are all deceased and will most likely only appear in flashback scenes in the upcoming season 2. If Harrison does take up his father’s mantle, his conscience may take on the form of his father, just as Dexter did with Harry and Deb. The remainder of the cast will almost certainly return. Furthermore, if the show’s universe continues to develop, new cast members may be added.
The Plot Of Dexter New BloodSeason 2: What Could It Be About?
Dexter is arrested in the season one finale, titled ‘Sins of the Father.’ Angela discovers that Kurt murdered Iris, Molly, and all the other women on her wall. Dexter kills Logan to get to his son, but Harrison notices and accuses him of breaking his own rule. Harrison murders Dexter, but Angela lets him leave after warning him not to return.
Harrison may travel to Los Angeles in the upcoming season 2, where his father has intentions to relocate. If the Dark Passenger stirs, he’ll have no trouble keeping it there. Audrey may eventually join him, and Harrison’s half-siblings may possibly appear later in the season.
