Why the Long Wait for 'Dexter: New Blood'?
You might be wondering why it took so long for Dexter to make his comeback. Well, there were a few factors at play:
- The Original Series Ending: The controversial ending of the original 'Dexter' series left a sour taste in many fans' mouths. It took some time for Showtime and the creative team to figure out a way to bring Dexter back in a way that felt satisfying and true to the character. - Michael C. Hall's Schedule: Michael C. Hall has been busy with other projects since the original series ended, including the critically-acclaimed 'Mr. Robot' and the Broadway production of 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'. Finding a time that worked for everyone to bring Dexter back was no easy task. - The COVID-19 Pandemic: Like many productions, 'Dexter: New Blood' faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Production on the new season was pushed back to ensure the safety of cast and crew.
