Dexter is returning for another brand-new series, with new show Origins showing Dexter Morgan's "transition into the avenging serial killer".
Not only that, but Showtime has also announced another season of the hit-series' follow-up, New Blood – which will follow the journey of his son Harrison.
The hit-US crime drama ran for eight seasons between 2006 and 2013 and is based on forensic scientist Dexter, played by Michael C Hall.
He lives a traumatic double life as a vigilante serial killer, and now viewers will get to see his early years as a young cop unfold in the brand-new TV series Dexter: Origins.
The series shows Dexter graduate from college before joining Miami Metro Police.
An official synopsis reads: "It will dramatize young Dexter Morgan at the outset of his transition into the avenging serial killer he would become.
"Set in the Miami that was a hotbed of real serial killers of his time, the show will begin as Dexter graduates college to join Miami Metro, where he meets younger versions of many of the characters we came to know in the original Dexter.
"And, of course, the show will also focus on Dexter’s family, including a very-much-alive Harry and a very formidable, teenage Deb."
Michael, 52, won a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award for his role in Dexter. But he famously hated the end of the original series in 2013.
Many fans believed Dexter should have been held accountable for his crimes, but instead Michael’s character started a new life as a lumberjack in Oregon.
It's a stark difference from the ending in New Blood – where he was shot dead by his son.
Speaking of the original series ending, Michael said previously: "The show ended in a way that was infuriating."
And speaking to Phil Williams on Times Radio, Michael was candid enough to admit that the initial ending of the show was "mystifying" for people.
"I think the show ended in a way that was pretty mystifying at best if not infuriating for people," said Michael.
"But that at least set the stage for us to return and answer more definitively what the hell happened to this guy."
"I totally support what happened, the choice he makes at the end, but as far as the execution goes, we were all running on vapour at that point, so I get it."
