One of the next TV show reboots is Dexter: New Blood. Showtime is bringing the crime show back this November, and now star and executive producer Michael C. Hall and showrunner Clyde Phillips have shared some updates on what to expect. In particular, Phillips said he believes the reboot will be "satisfying and controversial." The show is no stranger to controversy, as the series finale received a mix reaction, to put it mildly.

　　Hall says in the preview video that part of what caught he eye about the project was that it would give fans some answers about Dexter's life after the events of the original show.

　　"I'm excited to put something out there that answers some questions that have been floating around, which are essentially, 'What the hell happened to this guy?'" he said.

　　Also what convinced Hall to come back was the behind-the-camera talent. Phillips, the showrunner for Dexter Seasons 1-4 is returning, as mentioned, along with writer Scott Reynolds and Marcos Siega, who was one of the "foundational" directors on the original show.

　　Phillips, Reynolds, and Siega coming back "gave me that sense that were was a collective appreciation for the fundamentals of the Dexter DNA," Hall said.

　　Phillips said he is particularly excited for the Dexter revival because it's a fresh start with a new look for the series. The original show was set in sunny Miami, Florida, but the new one takes place in a fictional upstate New York town called Iron Lake. When we meet Dexter, he's living under a new name and he finally believes he can change his life. However, something's gotta give, and he gets pulled back in.

　　Hall said the concept for the new Dexter show feels "fresh and new and bold." He acknowledged that viewers might miss the sunny locales of the original show, but he remarked, "Snow is pretty cool, too."

　　Dexter: New Blood premieres on November 7 on Showtime. In addition to Hall returning, both Jennifer Carpenter (Deb) and John Lithgow (the Trinity Killer) will be reprising their roles on the new series as ghosts or echos who come back to haunt Dexter. Clancy Brown (Shawshank Redemption, SpongeBob) is playing the main villain.
