The original Dexter television series ran for eight seasons on Showtime. Now, this serial killer has returned for what appears to be a close-ended mini-series. If the ratings are strong enough, could Dexter: New Blood be renewed for a second season anyway? Stay tuned.
A crime drama series, the Dexter: New Blood TV show is a sequel series that stars Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, Julia Jones, Jack Alcott, Alano Miller, Johnny Sequoyah, Clancy Brown, and David Magidoff. In the original show, Dexter Morgan (Hall) is a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami police department who moonlights as a serial killer. In the series finale, he is presumed dead but is revealed to be leading a quiet life, working for a lumber company in Oregon. Now, 10 years later, we find Morgan living as shopkeeper Jim Lindsay in the fictional small town of Iron Lake, New York. He has developed a relationship with Angela Bishop (Jones), the town’s chief of police, and has suppressed his serial killing urges. Morgan may be embracing his new life, but in the wake of unexpected events in this close-knit community, his inner “Dark Passenger” inevitably beckons.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the Dexter: New Blood TV series on Showtime? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Very disappointed. Harrison just doesn’t cut it. Killing Dexter ended the show for me, unless the writers can think of a way to bring him back – and NOT as a ghost. The series Dexter got 5 stars every time from me. The New Blood Series didn’t make it over 3 with me. Sorry. I have to be critical, but you asked.
Yes, absolutely renew for at least another 5 series! There’s so much that can be told and explored. Dexter’s girlfriend can help/save him by helping with his hobby and snuffing out those bad guys and Harrison can pick up the slack. Harrison needs to graduate from high school and get a job that will keel him undercover. Harrison’s girlfriend is unaware of his escapades and even though she’s a smart lady, Harrison can work around her questions and help Dad.
I was so excited when “Dexter New Blood Season 1” aired .
But ….
Dexter’s son killed Dexter so all I can say is …. WTF !
So they bring back the show just to kill him off on season 1 ?
Renew! I didn’t care for the very first episode, but the show really hit the ground running after that. You can’t cancel Dexter that fast. There are way too many angles to be exploited in new blood.
Renew love the show
RENEW! Great show and just getting more interesting as the episodes go on. They need to give this at least 3 seasons. I Just got Showtime and binged the entire season leading up to the episode that came out two days ago. Now I can’t wait until this Sunday. My wife is so happy that there is something on tv that gets me away from football the entire Sunday.
Dexter new blood is amazing & needs to be renewed for another season! A new episode is the highlight of my Sunday. I love it please continue!
Dexter:NB should DEFINITELY get a pick-up!! That is, if Michael C. Hall wants to/has time to commit to it and the scripts are really good. This season so far is a WOWZA!!
#DexterLives….

Please boost your ratings look forward to seeing it new revival look forward to seeing it.
I personally, couldn’t wait to see Dexter: New Blood! The 1st episode was so different than I expected, but in a strange way, a comfort to me, to see my favorite two characters on my tv screen again! I loved it! I can’t wait to see how the relationship between Dexter and that other significant person in his life (don’t want to spoil anything), plays out. I would really love to see Dexter return for a few more seasons, if it had good story lines and an ending that resolved everything. Especially since Dexter wanted so badly to be normal,… Read more »
