How does it end? Dexterthe original series?

The eighth and final season of Dexter ended with a disappointing conclusion, which created controversy among fans. We saw the character, devastated by the death of his sister, Debra, who had discovered his dual identity. He then took to the sea to throw her lifeless body overboard, before being lost in a storm. We could then suspect that Dexter would sink into this tragic event, which could have ended the series on a perfect cliffhanger.

Except that the screenwriters decided otherwise: the last seconds show us our favorite anti-hero, dressed in a beautiful checked shirt, while he has become a simple lumberjack, in the middle of nowhere. 8 seasons to end up chopping wood, frankly, we could have done without it.

The end of New Blood is much more interesting than that of its predecessor and has even righted its wrongs in the eyes of many fans. We then met Harrison, himself a killer, following in his father's footsteps.

A bittersweet ending that fits the character perfectly, finally finding peace.

However, rumors aboutOriginal Sin suggest that Dexter may have actually survived his injuries. He could therefore be back in the famous upcoming series, Resurrectionwhich would fit its title perfectly. Will this satisfy the fans though? Response in summer 2025.
