The Dexter Spin-Off Series Starring Michael C. Hall
Before Dexter: New Blood and Dexter: Resurrection, a niche Dexter spin-off series existed, starring Michael C. Hall.
Showtime and Paramount have capitalized on Dexter's success, creating four shows around the character. The titular serial killer's moral compass, which guides him to kill bad guys, makes him compelling. However, his actions create moral ambiguity and dire consequences.
The story has elements of pulpy superhero tropes, including double lives and sinister villains. The Dexter franchise has been popular for nearly 20 years, with new generations discovering it through streaming and social media.
