The showrunner for Dexter has said that the new reboot series will make the ending “right.”

Michael C Hall is returning for a new 10 episode revival of Dexter, the hit TV Series on Showtime.

This follows the show’s much-derided original Finale.

The reboot will act as a continuation of Dexter, which ended in 2013 after eight seasons. This saw the titular serial killer go into self-imposed exile – an ending that has proved divisive among fans.

However, showrunner Clyde Phillips has now insisted that while the new series won’t “undo” the original ending, it will “basically start from scratch”.

“10 years, or however many years, have passed by the time this will air, and the show will reflect that time passage,” Phillips continued. “In so far as the ending of the show, this will have no resemblance to how the original finale was. It’s a great opportunity to write a second finale for our show, and Showtime was very gracious about that.”

The showrunner also suggested that Hall was “not completely satisfied” with the original finale. Though they were not planning the reboot to revise the ending.Sorry, the video player failed to load.

“This is an opportunity to make that right, but that’s not why we’re doing it,” he added. “We’re doing this because there is such a hunger for Dexter out there.

“We’re not undoing anything. So we’re not going to betray the audience and say, ‘Whoops, that was all a dream.’ What happened in the first eight years happened in the first eight years.”

“We want this to not be Dexter season nine,” he told The Hollywood Reporter’s TV’s Top 5 podcast.
