The final season of Dexter is a tricky topic amongst fans and critics, with the final episode receiving quite a negative reception from both. It was a sad turn of events, especially considering that for most of the show's 96 episodes and eight seasons, it was beloved by many.
When news surfaced last year that a revival was in the works, fans celebrated after the final few episodes offered more questions than answers.
Michael C. Hall, who played the infamous blood splatter analyst by day - and serial killer by night - hopes the revival will give fans the closure they have demanded since the show wrapped in 2013.

Speaking to The Daily Beast, Hall said: "Let's be real: people found the way that show left things pretty unsatisfying, and there's always been a hope that a story would emerge that would be worth telling.
"I include myself in the group of people that wondered, 'What the hell happened to that guy?' So I'm excited to step back into it. I've never had that experience of playing a character this many years on."
In case you forgot, the last we saw of Dexter was in season eight, where he faked his own death and was living under a new name as a solitary lumberjack in Oregon.
Hall's character had wrecked his beloved boat and escaped hospital with his sister's body, who had been shot and placed into a coma. Dexter had also told his wife and son to move to Argentina.

Michael C. Hall is the only original cast member who has officially signed up for the revived series, which will include 10 episodes. Showrunner Clyde Phillips will also be back.
Deadline has reported that production is set to begin in early 2021, with a tentative premiere date of autumn the same year.
The original Dexter seasons ran between 2006 and 2013, and still boasts cult-status today among its fans. The new series will air on American network Showtime.
