Dexter returns to screen

Serial killer Dexter is heading back to the small screen eight years after the cult Showtime series ended.

Bosses at the cable network have ordered a 10-episode run, which will reunite the show's star, Michael C. Hall and writer/producer Clyde Phillips, for next year.

Hall played the title character, a Florida police detective with a dark, secret life, from 2006 to 2013.

In the original series finale, Hall's murderous Dexter Morgan was living under a new identity in Oregon after faking his own death.

"Dexter is such a special series, both for its millions of fans and for Showtime, as this breakthrough show helped put our network on the map many years ago," Gary Levine, co-president of entertainment at Showtime, says. "We would only revisit this unique character if we could find a creative take that was truly worthy of the brilliant, original series.

"Well, I am happy to report that Clyde Phillips and Michael C. Hall have found it, and we can't wait to shoot it and show it to the world."
