According to ParamoutPlus.com, Dexter: New Blood follows Dexter Morgan — Michael C. Hall — a decade after faking his death in the original series finale.

Dexter: Resurrection is executive produced by Clyde Phillips (Feed The Beast, GetReal), who also serves as showrunner, via Deadline. It’s produced by Showtime Studios and Counterpart. The show will also be executive-produced by Hall (Christine, Game Night), Scott Reynolds (The Ugly, Dexter), Tony Hernandez (Wedding, Top Five), and Marcos Siega (Honey Girls, The Substance).
