Never say never, indeed. But perhaps we can say “stop”? Showtime’s Dexter was given the opportunity to do things that few shows are ever given the chance to do. Dexter was able to be brought back again in Dexter: New Blood. He was able to give fans a better, and fair ending. Now, despite having two different endings Hall has brought up the possibility of Dexter coming back again.
“I’ve learned to say never say never about anything, you know, the show ended in a pretty definitive way in this final reboot season, I don’t have any calendar date to mark when I’ll be pretend to play that guy anymore,” Hall told Lipps Service podcast. “I feel proud of the whole of it, and I’m glad that we went back and revisited the character and gave the show a sort of ending it needed… I think. I don’t know, it’s kinda nice to be released.”
Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched Dexter: New Blood:
At the end of the series Dexter is actually shot by his annoying son, Harrison. A lot of fans found Harrison to be annoying as all hell. It made it all the more painful that Harrison and his food smacking presence was the one to take Dexer down. It also further convoluted the idea of the Dark Passenger. It sort of made all of Harry’s teachings and every single episode and season feel as though it had been made redundant.
So, on one hand, I would like to see Dexter come back for another shot at an ending and on the other hand I have to say it is time to let it go. Time to let it go and just deal with the fact that these writers are bad at closing the story up.
Hall also said that he hopes audiences can ultimately appreciate the ending and come to terms with it. He liked that it was his son who was the one who killed him. 
I think Hollywood is a little too obsessed with legacy in film and tv. Everyone has to be related to everyone. Vader telling Luke that he was daddy, created a trope that we still are seeing over saturating narratives even today. I thought one of the best parts of Star Wars: The Last Jedi was Kylo Ren telling Rey that her parents were nobody and that she was nobody she came from nothing and was nothing. Of course, JJ Abrams made sure to scrap that and make Rey another Skywalker and… yawn… who cares.
For better or worse, Dexter ended the way that it did. Annoying Harrison killed cool ass Dex. It is sorta interesting to know that Hall isn’t going to say “never” to another return though. It leaves the option there. Heck why not have satanic zombie Dex return?? It wouldn’t be anything sillier than what we have seen in Fast and Furious.
