More than 8 years afterthe original seriesfinale,television's most beloved serial killer returned inDexter: New Blood; here's where to watch the revival show online.The series is a continuation of the mystery crime dramaDexterthat originally aired on SHOWTIME from 2006 to 2013.The show attracted a significant viewership for the premium network during its 8 seasons, prompting a return to the popular character and concept nearly a decade later, albeit with a few necessary changes.
Dexterfollows the story of a charming forensic blood spatter analyst named Dexter Morgan, who secretly channels his psychopathic tendencies and thirst for killing by tracking down and murdering the same criminals he helps to identify. Dexter's "Code of Harry"—a dubious but intriguing moral code that's appropriately named after his adopted father Harry Morgan—requires him to only kill the guilty. Among other critical factors, this made the show eerily compelling and addictive for all those watching during its original run.

Dexter: New Blood Is On The UK’s NOW TV
There are also ways forpeople in the UKto watch New Blood online. Outside of its main home on SHOWTIME, the equally-dark (if not even darker) Dexter reboot can currently be watched on the UK's NOW TV platform. However, this applies to British viewers specifically; the show is region-locked in other countries. Dexter: New Blood is also available for streaming on Sky in the UK.
Will There Be A Dexter: New Blood Season 2?
New Blood certainly shows that a beloved series like Dexter, which was seemingly tied up without an avenue for revival, can make a widely-watched return to the screen. Even so, it's difficult to think of ways that the reboot could receive a second season. Its finale is even more shocking and divisive than the original show's conclusion. Showrunner Clyde Phillips said to TVLine (viaDigital Spy) about the possibility of Dexter: New Blood season 2, "It’s all in Showtime’s hands. If they were to call me and say, ‘We want to do Harrison. We want you to figure it out,’ I’m pretty busy, but I would drop everything I’m doing and jump right into it. I would love to do it, but it’s really up to Showtime." At this point, there isn't any news about another season of Dexter: New Blood in the works, but based on what Phillips has said, it does sound possible. For now, the figurative ball seems to be in SHOWTIME'S court.
