Scott Buck, who served as the showrunner for the last three seasons of <em>Dexter,<\/em> recently revealed the reason for the open-ended finale, blaming it on Showtime. Talking to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bloody-disgusting.com\/exclusives\/3702089\/the-dexter-spinoff-we-never-saw-scott-buck-details-his-original-plan-for-dexters-return-phantom-limbs\/\">Bloody Disgusting<\/a>, Buck said:<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;The one thing I was told I could not do is kill Dexter, because [Showtime] wanted to bring him back. So that meant, at least to me, that I also couldn\u2019t have Dexter get captured. Because if he is, that makes him the most notorious serial killer in the world, and you can\u2019t really do any more future episodes because he\u2019s going to walk down the street and everyone he sees is going to recognize him. So that\u2019s what sort of led to the way the show ended.&#8221;\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently, Showtime wanted a follow-up where Dexter becomes a doctor. &#8220;We ended the show specifically in a way that it could come back, because that had always been the intention. And it was actually the network who pitched to me that Dexter be a doctor,&#8221; Buck added.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\nWhile Buck agrees that this idea was quite far-fetched, he was on board but wanted Dexter to be a paramedic instead, as that felt more logical, &#8220;If killing was his heroin, then holding lives in the balance [as a paramedic] would sort of be his methadone.&#8221; While this all sounds intriguing, the reason why a potential <em>Dexter<\/em> season 9 or spin-off never came to fruition is due to Hall&#8217;s adamance about never playing the character again.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;Michael was absolutely done with the show. Part of it, I would have to say, was my inexperience as a showrunner, that I didn\u2019t have lengthy discussions with Michael. If I\u2019d had a better sense of how much he did not want to do Dexter anymore, that would have also informed the ending in a way.&#8221;\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- No winning ad found for zone: native in content! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"dexter-new-blood-marks-the-end-of-dexter-rsquo-s-journey\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dexter_New_Blood_Marks_The_End_Of_Dexters_Journey\"><\/span> Dexter: New Blood Marks The End Of Dexter\u2019s Journey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.655198204936%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/mQJpyMgJOwIp4aKIQMPaUI8XXdJ1FW.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/mQJpyMgJOwIp4aKIQMPaUI8XXdJ1FW.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/mQJpyMgJOwIp4aKIQMPaUI8XXdJ1FW.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/mQJpyMgJOwIp4aKIQMPaUI8XXdJ1FW.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1337\" height=\"704\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Dexter: New Blood Full Trailer Puts the Legendary Vigilante Back to Work in a New Town\"\/>\n <\/picture>\n <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Showtime announced a 10-episode miniseries titled <em>Dexter: New Blood<\/em> in 2020 with Michael C.
