Dexter Showrunner Says New Season ‘Not Undoing’ Finale, But Will Make Things ‘Right’ - Vulture

Hall is obviously excited for a chance at a ‘second finale’ too, Phillips says, though the executive producer notes the chance to revisit the character and hopefully create an ending Hall found satisfying wasn’t the reason the reboot exists.

“Michael is certainly aware that the ending wasn’t well-received, and I believe he was not completely satisfied with it,” he says.

“We’re not undoing anything,” Phillips says, when asked about a possible return of Jennifer Carpenter’s ill-fated character?

“We’re not going to betray the audience and say, ‘Whoops, that was all a dream.’ What happened in the first eight years happened in the first eight years.” While Phillips couldn’t say much more than that, he did say the reboot is not set in Miami
