In April, the network released the firstofficial teaserfor the series' forthcoming revival.
Sharing a 10-second-long clip on social media, the first look sees an ax resting in a tree stump as a fire burns in the background, while a voiceover from Hall’s murderous character states, “There really is nothing like getting back to nature. My nature.”
There is no set premiere date, but theDexterrevival was initially reported to begin production in early 2021 “with a tentative premiere date in the fall of 2021,” according to Showtime.
Of the show’s return, Showtime Networks' president of entertainment Gary Levine said: “Dexteris such a special series, both for its millions of fans and for Showtime, as this breakthrough show helped put our network on the map many years ago.”
Levine explained that Showtime would only revisit “this unique character if we could find a creative take that was truly worthy of the brilliant, original series.”
“I am happy to report that Clyde and Phillips and Michael C. Hall have found it, and we can’t wait to shoot it and show it to the world!” Levine added.
