A day after revealing Dexter Morgan’s new identity in the Dexter revival, Showtime has released a new teaser showcasing Jim ‘Jimbo’ Lindsay around the town of Iron Lake being very familiar and friendly with the locals, yet teasing Dexter’s dark passenger is still lurking around. Watch the teaser below…
When Dexter originally ended, the final moments of the series finale saw Dexter fake his death in his grief over the death of his sister Debra and living secretly in a rural town as a logger, giving up a life with his son and girlfriend Hannah McKay.
The revival will take place 10 years after the series finale as sees Dexter as an employee of a fishing store as ‘Jim Lindsay’, a reference to Dexter author Jeff Lindsay. Linsday wrote Darkly Dreaming Dexter in 2005, which the first season of Showtime’s series is largely based off. Linsday would write seven more novels in his Dexter series, but the television show took its own course after the first season with the story.
The upcoming revival series will star Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan with Clancy Brown as the primary villain Kurt Caldwell, the “unofficial mayor” of Iron Lake, as well as Jamie Chung (Lovecraft Country) as Molly, a famous true-crime podcaster, Oscar Wahlberg (Manchester By the Sea) as Zach, the captain of the Iron Lake High School wrestling team, Julia Jones (The Mandalorian), Alano Miller (Sylvie’s Love), Johnny Sequoyah (Believe), Jack Alcott (The Good Lord Bird), and Michael Cyril Creighton (Spotlight).
Although there are currently no details on the plot of the revival series, we do know that Clyde Phillips is set to return as showrunner and executive producer with Marcos Siega, who previously directed nine episodes of the original series, set to return to executive produce and direct six of the 10-episodes in the limited series. Michael C. Hall will also serve as executive producer alongside John Goldwyn, Sara Colleton, Bill Carraro and Scott Reynolds.
