In the widely panned series finale of Dexter, Deb was shot by Oliver Saxon, aka the serial killer known as the “Brain Surgeon.” She suffered a massive stroke and was left in a vegetative state. In an act of mercy, Dexter took his sister off of life support and buried her at sea.
Maybe she could be returning as a flashback. But what we do know is that on Wednesday, October 15, Showtime announced that Dexter — and star Michael C. Hall — would be returning for a 10-episode limited series run.
“Dexter is such a special series, both for its millions of fans and for Showtime, as this breakthrough show helped put our network on the map many years ago,” Gary Levine, Co-President of Entertainment at Showtime said in a statement. “We could only revisit this unique character if we could find a creative take that was truly worthy of the brilliant, original series.”
The shows official twitter account tweeted on Wednesday: “Surprise Motherfu**er. He’s back. #Dexter.”

Dexter debuted on October 1, 2006, and ran for eight seasons on Showtime. The hit show centered around Dexter Morgan — played by Hall — as an eccentric and complicated blood-spatter expert for the Miami police department who secretly moonlights as a serial killer. In the series finale, we saw Dexter had faked his own death after Debra’s tragic murder, and is now living under a new identity as a lumberjack in Oregon.
