Dexter revival was first confirmed to be happening in October 2020. At the time, Showtime announced that it would be bringing back the crime-mystery drama in a form of a 10-episode limited series. Now, a lot of details are being unveiled surrounding the show, such as the teaser dropped during Father’s Day.

On Sunday, June 20, the official Twitter account of Dexter released a six-second clip, hinting at the potential return of a significant character in the life of the titular serial killer. The post comes with the caption, "Wanna know a secret? Daddy kills people."

The teaser features a burning photo of Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) holding his son, Harrison. The snap was taken in one of the seasons from the original run, but it teased the possible return of the latter. The two separated in the series finale and a reunion might be on the way now.

Dexter’s ending has been deemed to be one of the controversial conclusions in television history. The titular character decided to take off his sister's, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), life support -- which has led to her demise. He threw her body at the sea and faked his own death.

Hall’s character moved elsewhere to start a new life, now working as a lumberjack. On the other hand, his girlfriend Hannah McKay (Yvonne Strahovski) took their son Harrison and flew to Argentina in order to hide from the law. The father and son haven’t seen each other since then.

The titular character cares for his son a lot. In fact, he’s concerned that Harrison may follow in his footsteps of becoming a serial killer when he grows up. He’s still young when he separated from his father and he should be a teen by the time the revival arrives.

Dexter wrapped up in 2013, so many were delighted when the news about the revival emerged. This could be a chance to clear up some of the stories hanging up in the air. Yet, it remains to be seen how the titular character and Harrison reunite in the revival.

The upcoming series is set a few years following the events that transpired in the series finale. New characters will be introduced, such as Clancy Brown’s Kurt Caldwell, who serves as the major antagonist. The story is set in the fictional New York town of Iron Lake.

Dexter revival kicked off filming in February 2021 and gearing for a summer release of the same year.
