However, Dexter's routine is upset when his son, Harrison, finds him, and a reckless local named Matt Caldwell pushes Dexter to sell him a semi-automatic weapon. Dexter learns Caldwell once ran his powerboat into another craft, killing five people. While it was reported as an accident, Caldwell's friend assures Dexter the act was intentional.

Meanwhile, Harrison starts forming a bond with Angela's daughter Audrey. Dexter is able to cover up his tracks by setting up a false narrative that Caldwell shot a deer illegally and fled, but Caldwell's father Kurt shows up just as the search party is about to disband, and insists that the search for his son continues.

Hall]]. He said "I think the ending was 'mystifying' at best to people. 'Confounding', 'exasperating', 'frustrating' — on down the line of negative adjectives."<ref name="polygon sdcc">{{cite web | url = https://www.polygon.com/22594107/dexter-ending-new-blood-2021-episodes-comic-con | title= Dexter: New Blood creators want to redefine Dexter's original finale with new ending that'll 'blow up the internet' | first = LaToya | last = Ferguson | date = July 26, 2021 | accessdate = July 26, 2021 | work =[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]] }}</ref> Hall had been asked by fans in the eight years since the finale aired if there would be a follow-up to the show. Original showrunner [[Clyde Phillips (screenwriter)|Clyde Phillips]], who had left the series after season 4, saw those questions asked of Hall and over time discussed possible ways to continue ''Dexter'' as some type of redemption, but could not figure out an appropriate route. Phillips was contacted by Showtime president Gary Levine on July 1, 2019. Levine told Phillips that he felt the time was right to bring back ''Dexter'' and asked if Phillips could come up with something. Phillips wrote a preliminary script which he then shared with Hall, who loved the idea.<ref name="polygon sdcc"/> Phillips recognized the ending had suited the time when it was broadcast, as around 2013, there were a number of real-life serial killers known to be living in Oregon and nearby states. Phillips also considered that by surrounding himself with chainsaws, Dexter was under a constant reminder about how his mother had died. As Phillips was unsure of the intent that the finale was meant to deliver, he decided to incorporate a major [[timeskip]], nearly a decade from the end of events of the original series. Dexter has since moved to the fictional town of Iron Lake, New York and is living under a pseudonym, working in an outfitter shop selling guns for hunting and has ingratiated himself comfortably into the local community. Because of that, Phillips did not consider the miniseries as a ninth season, since there was a major discontinuity in the serialization of the story.<ref name="polygon sdcc"/> As the writing staff wrote out the ten-episode miniseries, they established how the series would end and wrote backwards from that. Phillips claimed that "The ending of this one will be stunning, shocking, surprising, unexpected. And without jinxing anything, I will say that the ending of this new season that we're doing will blow up the internet."<ref name="polygon sdcc"/> On October 14, 2020, the ''Dexter'' revival was ordered as a limited series consisting of 10 episodes, starring Hall in his original role, with Phillips returning as showrunner.<ref name="Revival">{{cite web |url=https://tvline.com/2020/10/14/dexter-revival-showtime-season-9-michael-c-hall/ |title=Dexter Revival Ordered at Showtime; Michael C.
