Since Dex bid adieu last year on Dexter (in a way that was fairly unpopular to many), there have been rumblings of “spin-off.” Nevin’s confirmed that it’s something that is being discussed.
“It’s something we continue to talk about. If we were to do it, we would have to have a very good reason to do it. It would have to feel like it’s a new show. I’m not interested in doing it if it’s just a continuation… There have been some light, ongoing conversations. It hasn’t really gone anywhere yet.”
That last sentence leads me to believe that if this thing was going to come to fruition, it’s going to be a bit down the road. Or, something that just fizzles out.
Nevins also said the only way it would happen is if Michael C. Hall was on board. “I think if we were to do it, I would only do it if it with Michael.”
Questions were brought up whether there was any intention to perhaps kill Dexter off at the end of the series. Nevins says no and you can read all about that here at IGN.
Frankly, Dexter is done in my opinion. The story has been told and I can’t imagine what a spin-off would entail, especially with Hall returning at Dex.
