Dexter won’t be a lumberjack or come back to Miami in Showtime Revival

Dexter is based on the compelling novel “Darkly Dreaming Dexter” by South Florida native Jeff Lindsay. Orphaned at the age of four and harboring a traumatic secret, Dexter is adopted by a cop who recognizes Dexter’s homicidal tendencies and guides his son to channel his terrible passion for human vivisection in a constructive way – by killing these heinous perpetrators who are above the law or have fallen through the cracks of justice. A respected member of the police, the perfect gentleman, and a man with a soft spot for children, it’s hard not to love Dexter. Although his will to kill is unwavering, he finds it difficult to mimic the normal emotions he doesn’t feel and to maintain his appearance as a caring and socially responsible human being.
