The sad part is that it's not a failure of acting on the part of the new characters, just insanely bad writing and attention to detail. I feel bad for the actors.
I still think you could salvage the gunshot to Dexter. Make him wheel chair bound, or paralyzed, or something. The final season is all about the Trial of Dexter Morgan.
Dexter could only return as Deb did, so I don't know how good it would be. Michael C Hall is one of the reasons this show is so good: take him out or limit his screen time, and it's not the same at all. Even a prequel wouldn't work because of ages.
Dexter cuts away from his day dream of breaking the code to kill a police officer and break out of prison and in reality is set free in a few hours when they can't hold him any longer on their garbage evidence.
Definitely. If he comes back as a ghost I'm not gonna watch the show at all because IT'S FAKE if you get me. I want MCH in a real capacity just like how I wasn't a huge fan of Debra being a ghost this time around it felt fake like none of it was real so why even bring her back then?
i thought the whole point of harrison's ending is he's not a monster like dexter is. if they were to continue the show featuring harrison, wouldn't he just end up following harry's code and ending up just like dexter, something he didn't want to do.
If that really was supposed to be the point (I don’t doubt it) they really swung and missed. Dexter’s vigilante status notwithstanding, you’re a monster if you murder your parent, when you could just as easily walk away. And probably get said parent legally executed. Or at the very least, imprisoned.
Yeah. To me, the obvious point of the season is he's not like Dexter. He drives off into the sunset to move on and heal. Absolutely no point in a sequel to New Blood.
except Harrison knew about Dexter all along, and also went so far as to basically be a copycat killer, replicating kill weapons from Trinity and Caldwell.
No. I think it'd be super cool to see Harrison move around, stuck on the road, having "hallucinations" of Dexter in his head telling him to do shit. Dexter is dead, but so is Debra and yet she was still in the last season. Why shouldnt Dexter be the little devil on Harrisons shoulder.
Harrison will kill to save lives. The opposite of Dexter who killed to satisfy his dark passenger w/ a bonus of saving lives which didn’t matter to dex.
A show from Masuka’s POV where we found out he knew all along that Dexter was a serial killer but just didn’t give a shit and in fact sometimes helped him avoid getting in trouble because he valued his friendship
They can easily start with Dexter opening his eyes while sitting in prison, fresh off of concluding his daydream of breaking the code and killing a cop to escape prison in a cop car when in reality the evidence against him is piss poor and he will walk in a few hours when they can no longer hold him. Then it's off to Los Angeles.
Yep, have him fake his death, rubber bullet, vest, blood pack, medication causing respiratory depression and slowed heart rate. Doesn't make much sense but maybe sending his son off that way was the only fucked up way Dexter thought Harrison would have a normal life.
DP stands for dark passenger? You mean ghost? Yeah I also would have zero interest in that. It's so weird that so many people think dark passengers are what the ghosts are called. As far as I know the phrase "dark passenger" is just an expression or figure of speech which refers to Dexter's innate compulsion to kill people, that's it. Debra and Harry cannot really be referred to as Dexter's dark passengers.
I like the thought of touching back to Miami and seeing how the story plays, but yeah MCH is the show. Idc about Angela. She went from likeable to hateable in like 2 scenes (arresting him, then proceeding the say she was going to send him to death row after he solved her case). No one from Iron Lake is memorable.
Funny Angela is on there when Clyde confirmed her story is that she'll lie that she killed Dexter is self defense and move on. "There’s no doubt that this will be a hard time for Angela. But now that Dexter’s gone, hopefully, she has solace and can begin moving forward." But he wouldnt comment on Harrison because he wants to continue his story.
Am I the only one that would really enjoy a prequel series about Lundy and some of the serial killers he hunted after and then the series ends with him seeing the news break about the BHB or maybe if go through that season from his perspective.
Look if they are going to continue the dexter universe with Harrison in mind they will have to plan and write so creatively that the executives will probably thinks it’s futile. I really wanted a season of dexter teaching Harrison the code and Harrison killing dexter because he didn’t meet the code he himself taught. That would’ve been such a smooth Segway to a spin off. There’s nowhere else to go. I know money talks but Jesus Christ don’t tarnish a brand that out showtime on the map as a viable production company. Do something new. Let dexter rest. It’s done.
ITA!! Leave DEXTER alone now. It looks like Showtime needs to expand their writing team and come up with some new ideas for series. It seems like HBO and Showtime are both weak in series development right now. With most series only given 10 episodes these days, you’d think they would add more to their schedules.
Only way I'd be interested is if the finale was either a dream sequence or if Dexter somehow survived the gunshot(Harrison missed his heart lol) then he knocks out Angela and leaves and we finally get a season with him being hunted. Without Dexter, there is no show. Harrison was unlikable for 90% of the season then kills our beloved main character and showtime expects us to watch a series with him? They're on crack.
I just hope that if they do end up making another season Dexter is alive. Idc how as long as it's believable, I just want a proper ending to the series.
Hear me out. Maybe Dexter wakes up in prison, having survived being shot. Meanwhile Angela’s big bust allows her to move on to FBI or something, all the while using Dexter’s help for certain cases. This allows him some goodwill, being released early. Then we start…
if they are going to continue the dexter universe, I hope they make a spin-off prequel about trinity. this way we can leave the messy plotlines about dexter and harrison behind and start fresh with a character we already know. and well, not love, but love as an antagonist
NO ONE CARES ABOUT HARRISON AUDREY AND ANGELA do Miami metro reacting to Dexter being alive. The fact they even suggested Angela and Audrey pisses me off
It’s so laughable that they truly thought we’d root for Angela and welcome her character for seasons to come. While watching the show I thought we were supposed to not like her based on the writing and acting.
You know you fucked up when the entire fanbase is literally willing to ignore the fact that you killed the main character in favor of more seasons with the main character.
Nah don’t do that if you’re a real fan you wouldn’t harass the actors just cause we didn’t get our way. Guy doesn’t wanna play Dexter anymore he wouldn’t have agree to that ending if he was open to doing more then one season.
I only really wanna see a Harrison spinoff if it includes the Miami metro team in a big way. But I don’t even know how that could work. I want to see the aftermath of them all finding out about it dex. Astor and Cody too.
Nothing against Alcott..I like him as an actor but I have -1,000,000,000 interest in him as a lead character in the Dexter universe. No idea what showtime is smoking. Why do they keep pushing this. For me personally the ones Ive seen thus far for reboot ideas that I like 1000 percent more is Trinity, Debs life before she became a detective, Harrison and Hannah from the moment Dexter fakes his death to when Hannah is dying of cancer suppossedly to Harrison in foster care etc but again my attention wanes once its Harrison by himself, Harry before he becomes a detective or Matthews..Brian Mosers story and lastly Quinn, Angel, and Masuka just not really sure where to head it without making it a complete Dexter repeat just minus Dexter, Deb, Laquerta. I agree with one of the other posters I just have 0 interest in any of the new characters being in a reboot. I just cant see any of them carrying the lead..only way I would buy it is maybe starting it with Batista showing up the day after Dexters death and speaking to Angela but from there have no idea..hmm a reboot with Batista as lead would be a good first step especially if they are trying to still attract viewers but no idea where to head after this meetup with Angela. Of course my number 1 choice is MCH survived somehow just saying if he is 100 percent done with Dexter which seems more likely than not
Angel Batista obviously i would love to see a show about him investigating Dexter as the bhb after his death starring david zayas, cs lee and desmond harrington
Angel Batista obviously i would love to see a show about him investigating Dexter as the bhb after his death starring david zayas, cs lee and desmond harrington
I said this a few weeks ago. When a show is done they put SERIES FINALE in the show description. When there’s more to come they put SEASON FINALE. Dexter New Blood said ‘season finale’.
I bet they weren’t planning on people crapping on the finale. What they should Marqued it as was the Harrison show. It would have prepared folks for the inevitable.
Had I a choice, the show would pick up with a much older Harrison (better actor please) with Dexter and Debra as the dueling sides of Harrison's conciousness Edit: spelling error
The only way they could continue is to have Harrison start murdering bad guys with Dexter being the Harry/Debra figure he talks to. Without Michael C. Hall it's not going to be worth watching.
I would only care with Dex and Deb with the original cast or part of it being back, anything else apart from that is a no go. And don't come with the Harrison Spin Off bullshit because it's clear few people will care.
I bet you there will be a lot of interest from casual fans. People that don't go on this sub. The ending was a lot better received by that group of people it seemed
i'm a little weird because i like the ending of the original series finale and the ending of new blood. but i agree with most here that i absolutely HATE the idea of a spinoff about Harrison. horrible.
Angela is a strong character. Center the spinoff on her, call it "Iron Lake," it's Fargo meets Heat of the Night in the aftermath of Dexter & Caldwell.
Is that what the true fans want? A phoned in sequel that they’re only doing to cash in on the success of the original? lol There aren’t even any original characters left to follow. If they couldn’t do the show right with Dexter alive, how are they gonna do it right with him dead?
SIGN THE PETITION: Demand that Showtime continue Dexter: New Blood Season 2 with Michael C. Hall in the role of Dexter (assuming Michael C. Hall accepts and willingly signs on for the role).
Hello,
They are gonna be disappointed when 99% of the answers only say Dexter and Debra and none of the new characters.
I was thinking Batista! And the Miami crew.
The sad part is that it's not a failure of acting on the part of the new characters, just insanely bad writing and attention to detail. I feel bad for the actors.
Screw all these new characters. I won’t watch a Harrison revival
After that new season, ima have to pass on Debra’s appearance
We want the first scene of this show to be Dexter waking up from a terrible dream called New Blood.
Just show him waking up after the White Deer knocked him unconscious for getting too close and how Matt saved his life by shooting the deer.
I still think you could salvage the gunshot to Dexter. Make him wheel chair bound, or paralyzed, or something. The final season is all about the Trial of Dexter Morgan.
YES. And the actor for Harrison is actually the little kid from the original series
only dream sequence I’d be happy with
Dexter could only return as Deb did, so I don't know how good it would be. Michael C Hall is one of the reasons this show is so good: take him out or limit his screen time, and it's not the same at all. Even a prequel wouldn't work because of ages.
A prequel but its just MCH in that awful wig as young Dexter.
Unless they decided to do a show about dexter’s undercover monster years… or more like dormant…
They can fix this shit. But they won't.
Dexter cuts away from his day dream of breaking the code to kill a police officer and break out of prison and in reality is set free in a few hours when they can't hold him any longer on their garbage evidence.
Definitely. If he comes back as a ghost I'm not gonna watch the show at all because IT'S FAKE if you get me. I want MCH in a real capacity just like how I wasn't a huge fan of Debra being a ghost this time around it felt fake like none of it was real so why even bring her back then?

Dexter’s vigilante status notwithstanding, you’re a monster if you murder your parent, when you could just as easily walk away. And probably get said parent legally executed. Or at the very least, imprisoned.
What code? he was barely starting to learn it from Dexter. Terrible ending.
Yeah. To me, the obvious point of the season is he's not like Dexter. He drives off into the sunset to move on and heal. Absolutely no point in a sequel to New Blood.
This. Had they ended it differently I still would have been on board even if Dexter took a backseat.
They didn’t think about that...
except Harrison knew about Dexter all along, and also went so far as to basically be a copycat killer, replicating kill weapons from Trinity and Caldwell.
No. I think it'd be super cool to see Harrison move around, stuck on the road, having "hallucinations" of Dexter in his head telling him to do shit. Dexter is dead, but so is Debra and yet she was still in the last season. Why shouldnt Dexter be the little devil on Harrisons shoulder.

A show from Masuka’s POV where we found out he knew all along that Dexter was a serial killer but just didn’t give a shit and in fact sometimes helped him avoid getting in trouble because he valued his friendship
and it all started when a hooker he loved was murdered by Brian
Shouldn’t have fucking killed the titular character if you’re thinking of the future
They can easily start with Dexter opening his eyes while sitting in prison, fresh off of concluding his daydream of breaking the code and killing a cop to escape prison in a cop car when in reality the evidence against him is piss poor and he will walk in a few hours when they can no longer hold him. Then it's off to Los Angeles.
I wish they’d just focus on Miami metro, and bring Deb back from the dead.
If they somehow manage to bring Dexter back, they goddamn better bring Deb back as well. I don't even GAF is this becomes a supernatural show.
[удалено]
It looks like it's just one of those surveys you'd get by doing those survey for cash websites.
I‘d only care if Dexter somehow survived.
Yep, have him fake his death, rubber bullet, vest, blood pack, medication causing respiratory depression and slowed heart rate. Doesn't make much sense but maybe sending his son off that way was the only fucked up way Dexter thought Harrison would have a normal life.
DP stands for dark passenger? You mean ghost? Yeah I also would have zero interest in that. It's so weird that so many people think dark passengers are what the ghosts are called. As far as I know the phrase "dark passenger" is just an expression or figure of speech which refers to Dexter's innate compulsion to kill people, that's it.

I want to see Dex receive a presidential pardon lol
I like the thought of touching back to Miami and seeing how the story plays, but yeah MCH is the show. Idc about Angela. She went from likeable to hateable in like 2 scenes (arresting him, then proceeding the say she was going to send him to death row after he solved her case). No one from Iron Lake is memorable.
None of the new characters in NB are worth their own show. Tf.
Funny Angela is on there when Clyde confirmed her story is that she'll lie that she killed Dexter is self defense and move on. "There’s no doubt that this will be a hard time for Angela. But now that Dexter’s gone, hopefully, she has solace and can begin moving forward." But he wouldnt comment on Harrison because he wants to continue his story.
Clyde is... Cartman voice dammit Clyde!
I'd tell em to shove it
If you check the results of this poll you can see what most people want.
This also (currently) rates the rating as an A which I don’t think is accurate to the fanbases opinion
Am I the only one that would really enjoy a prequel series about Lundy and some of the serial killers he hunted after and then the series ends with him seeing the news break about the BHB or maybe if go through that season from his perspective.
sounds fantastic
A lundy series would be great.
The only way I'd watch a Harrison spin-off would be if it was one season and ended with Lumen killing Harrison to avenge Dexter.
Look if they are going to continue the dexter universe with Harrison in mind they will have to plan and write so creatively that the executives will probably thinks it’s futile. I really wanted a season of dexter teaching Harrison the code and Harrison killing dexter because he didn’t meet the code he himself taught. That would’ve been such a smooth Segway to a spin off.

Please link this so we can all tell them to make more episodes haha I hate how it ended
I think it came from a private focus group - it's not for the public domain. But I did want to hear how others would answer this!
Answer: very unlikely. Reason: the writers bent us all over and fucked us twice.
Nope. No Harrison spin off. They left me with zero interest in what he does in future
Dexter: Bounty Hunter
I just hope that if they do end up making another season Dexter is alive. Idc how as long as it's believable, I just want a proper ending to the series.
Dexter Morgan and make him alive and well
Hear me out. Maybe Dexter wakes up in prison, having survived being shot. Meanwhile Angela’s big bust allows her to move on to FBI or something, all the while using Dexter’s help for certain cases. This allows him some goodwill, being released early. Then we start…
LOL no please nobody wants that
Give us a Dexter Growing Up prequel I’m so there
Is this real?
Why are dead characters an option? Is it just gonna be 55 minutes of footage of their graves/corpses? Will it be ghost adventures?
if they are going to continue the dexter universe, I hope they make a spin-off prequel about trinity. this way we can leave the messy plotlines about dexter and harrison behind and start fresh with a character we already know. and well, not love, but love as an antagonist
Ice Truck Killer prequel and we shall name Life of Brian
LOL no please nobody wants that
I love how the first question and focus of the beginning of this survey was about the finale. 😂
Is this real? How can I participate in the survey?
I’d want season 1.5. Doakes is still alive and on the prowl stalking Dexter.
I would say that the whole thing with the rifle was just a thought in Harrison’s head and then it cuts to them killing simeone
more dexter. always more dexter
NO ONE CARES ABOUT HARRISON AUDREY AND ANGELA do Miami metro reacting to Dexter being alive. The fact they even suggested Angela and Audrey pisses me off
Dexter I’ll follow dexter
It’s so laughable that they truly thought we’d root for Angela and welcome her character for seasons to come. While watching the show I thought we were supposed to not like her based on the writing and acting.
You know you fucked up when the entire fanbase is literally willing to ignore the fact that you killed the main character in favor of more seasons with the main character.
Hey Showtime- I’ll pay for a year if you give me 5 episodes epilogue of Angela going back to Miami with Batista- piecing together the BHB case.
Dexter: Old Blood
Yes please!!!
I'd only watch if they brought back my best girl Lumen to defend Dexter's good name.
Everyone spam MCH so we can get more DEXTER.
Eh he has said he’s done with the character but I wish he wasn’t haha
Nah don’t do that if you’re a real fan you wouldn’t harass the actors just cause we didn’t get our way. Guy doesn’t wanna play Dexter anymore he wouldn’t have agree to that ending if he was open to doing more then one season.
Ooooo! Harry Morgan. If we could get his story of being a cop, finding, and raising dexter, that would be wild
Batista!
Whoa, he's married!
Literally no one is asking for this. Let the show die already.
EVERYBODY SAY DOAKES PREQUEL!!!
Partners Doakes and LaGuerta: Miami Vice
Link to answer?
If dexter is possible then dexter but if not then definitely angel and masuka, that'd be a funny crime show
I only really wanna see a Harrison spinoff if it includes the Miami metro team in a big way. But I don’t even know how that could work. I want to see the aftermath of them all finding out about it dex. Astor and Cody too.
Hell no
Maybe Batista will take him under his wing.
Hopefully everyone just votes for Dex lmaoo
Nothing against Alcott..I like him as an actor but I have -1,000,000,000 interest in him as a lead character in the Dexter universe. No idea what showtime is smoking. Why do they keep pushing this.

Of course my number 1 choice is MCH survived somehow just saying if he is 100 percent done with Dexter which seems more likely than not
I’d push that bar to 100% and say Doakes
You thought I was dead, motherf%&$(r
Where is this form from ??
Showtime focus groups. Invite only.
I would never watch anything dexter related ever again (Besides a reboot) after 2 terrible finales its time to let it go
I'd follow a show about Harrison but with a different actor. No offence to Jack but he couldn't carry a show by himself.
Yep, agreed. I do think the storyline with him ends. He can be better than dad, move on, no need to see him again.
I’d answer OTher : Angel Batista
Vince Masuka would get my vote. It was easy to miss in Angel's e-mail that he was getting married.
Oooh I missed that easter egg. I wouldn’t mind this.
Someone post the Kevlar vest theory to this
Dexter is Dexter for a reason, and Michael C Hall is why people watch it, we love him as this character.
It only goes down to 1. How do I vote 0?
None, I will never watch anything new related to Dexter ever again, they lost me as a hardcore veiwer
Angel Batista obviously i would love to see a show about him investigating Dexter as the bhb after his death starring david zayas, cs lee and desmond harrington
Angel Batista obviously i would love to see a show about him investigating Dexter as the bhb after his death starring david zayas, cs lee and desmond harrington
Everyone say Logan.
People in the comments need to see this as a win.
I said this a few weeks ago. When a show is done they put SERIES FINALE in the show description. When there’s more to come they put SEASON FINALE. Dexter New Blood said ‘season finale’.
Ah that’s a good obs. I do think they will try something. I am just hoping they don’t destroy the Dexter universe in the process.
I bet they weren’t planning on people crapping on the finale. What they should Marqued it as was the Harrison show. It would have prepared folks for the inevitable.
I’d watch Johnny Sequoyah shoot porn. Let’s make it happen!
Dude yes. She is such a baddie.
I would be interested in following Harrison, only if dexter is his guide. Like deb and Harry were for dexter. Coming to him in visions
Henry Morgan
if they dont let Clyde Phillips and other writers and creators anywhere close to it, we should be fine
I'd say very likely and check all characters. I could see it working and would love to watch it. Who knows though I don't work for showtime.
The only way I would watch S2 if we found out that last scene was just Dexter's imagination and he actually just flat killed Harrison.
Dexter and u some how make the last episode not exist.
It it has Johnny Sequoyah in it, I’m watching.
Had I a choice, the show would pick up with a much older Harrison (better actor please) with Dexter and Debra as the dueling sides of Harrison's conciousness Edit: spelling error
If dex is a ghost MCH would play a different character because Harrison only saw him as an oppressor and not an engineer type personality.
I expect a ghost story! With Dexter, Debra, Rita, Brian Moser, Doakes, Laguerta, Harry, Lundy, Arthur Mitchell, Lila.
I would like a prequel. Maybe Dexter growing up, going to college. Starring Harry, Debra and Dexter, and the mother.
Can someone post a link so we can vote??
I think the finale was bad in some spots but I'd rather that just be it. AT LEAST for now.
Fuck no. Let it end now.
The only way they could continue is to have Harrison start murdering bad guys with Dexter being the Harry/Debra figure he talks to. Without Michael C. Hall it's not going to be worth watching.
I would only watch if it followed Dexter and Debra. (and the Miami people if they could come back)
I would only care with Dex and Deb with the original cast or part of it being back, anything else apart from that is a no go. And don't come with the Harrison Spin Off bullshit because it's clear few people will care.
Where is this survey? I want to voooote!
I'd like to see the Miami PD and how they've been. We know Masuka is getting married which is something I'd like to see
I'd love a criminal series with Angel and Angela. Featuring LaGuerta, the bench.
Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to.
I bet you there will be a lot of interest from casual fans. People that don't go on this sub. The ending was a lot better received by that group of people it seemed
I thought harrison and audry were great I'd love to see them more as well as dexter and the original Miami crew of course
i'm a little weird because i like the ending of the original series finale and the ending of new blood. but i agree with most here that i absolutely HATE the idea of a spinoff about Harrison. horrible.
Can you provide a link to this page so we can go flood it?
If we got another season with Harrison, they could salvage the ending by giving him more of a motivation and explaining away the sloppy writing.
Is there a link?
Harrison, but older, and played by Lucas Till, who slowly succumbs to the toxicity of society and becomes the new Trinity Killer.
Angela is a strong character. Center the spinoff on her, call it "Iron Lake," it's Fargo meets Heat of the Night in the aftermath of Dexter & Caldwell.
Link?
Is anyone actually going to answer with Angela to this? Such an awfully written character, no thanks.
[удалено]
Is that what the true fans want? A phoned in sequel that they’re only doing to cash in on the success of the original? lol There aren’t even any original characters left to follow. If they couldn’t do the show right with Dexter alive, how are they gonna do it right with him dead?
Maybe we can get crossover season where Harrison does end up in California and goes to the same high school as euphoria
SIGN THE PETITION: Demand that Showtime continue Dexter: New Blood Season 2 with Michael C. Hall in the role of Dexter (assuming Michael C. Hall accepts and willingly signs on for the role).
Other: Chloe.
Animated show, Dexter as an adult going over his past, narrating it HIMYM style. Spoiler:
I don’t understand the hate about the ending of new blood. I loved it.
