Inversely, Harrison seemed quite intrigued at the idea of delivering vigilante justice to criminals who have escaped prosecution as a means of channeling his anger and violent urges.

While Alcott has more than proven he can anchor a series, the question becomes what would a Harrison spinoff look like?

However, with Dexter Morgan officially dead, playing the exact same hand next year could prove to be difficult. Coupling familiar intellectual property with a hot new series worked like gangbusters and will likely lead to the network trying to replicate the formula in the future. New Blood and the success of new series Yellowjackets has led to the biggest increase in new Showtime subscriptions in the past year. ![]() “Whether they loved the finale or couldn’t bear to see it end, we so appreciate their passion.”ĭexter was certainly revived exactly for this purpose. “We’re thrilled by the overwhelming response from the millions of fans of Dexter: New Blood these past 10 weeks,” said the entertainment president of Showtime Networks, Gary Levine.
