Michael C. Hall says it was his idea to resurrect Dexter Morgan after he met his untimely (though rather understandable) end in the revival spinoff Dexter: New Blood.
"Just like Dexter, I thought that bullet shot was fatal. But a few years passed, I was having a casual conversation with a member of the creative team, and just out of my mouth, I was like, 'what if he didn't die?'" Hall tells GamesRadar+. "I mean, the bullet didn't hit him in the head. What if he survived that gunshot? What would that look like? What storytelling opportunities would it present, and how would the character change? And it just became an increasingly interesting idea, and one link led to another, and here we are."
