Announcement of “Dexter” revival
In recent times, more dramas and TV shows are being rebooted or revived and “Dexter” is now one of those shows after it was brought back by Showtime.

“‘Dexter’ is such a special series for Showtime and its millions of fans,” Showtime’s co-president of entertainment, Gary Levine, said. “As this breakthrough show helped put our network on the map many years ago we would only revisit this unique character if we could find a creative take that was truly worthy of the brilliant, original series.”

Spoilers - What to expect
As US Today noted, the full list of cast for “Dexter” is not yet available at this time. The plot or storyline is being kept under wraps as well but fans may be hearing more details from Showtime soon.
In any case, when “Dexter” returns, there is a chance that it will touch on or even pick up from it left off in season 8 finale. In that episode, Dexter Morgan faked his death and started to live with a new identity. He assumed to be a lumberjack in Oregon after escaping from a hospital bringing with him the body of his comatose sister.
Dexter’s son Harrison has been sent to Argentina where he is now living with his partner Hannah. From this plot, many things could happen but whether the show is continuing with this story or it will present a different storyline is not known yet.
