As well as learning how Hall will manage these Dexter: Resurrection Throw after New bloodFinally, the continuation of the saga needs to answer for two big character absences from the last two shows.

The Dexter Franchise has already ended twice. The first time around, the main show ended with a divisive finale in 2013. When the New blood Limited series continued the story of Dexter Morgan over a decade later, the new ending of the sequel show was also met with much criticism.

Dexter: Resurrection can finally reveal what happened to Astor & Cody

Dexter’s stepchildren disappear from the story after season 7 of the original show

Dexter Running for eight seasons, the original run reveals a lot about the main character’s past while also following his present-day exploits. One of the biggest milestones in Dexter’s life is meeting Rita Bennett and eventually marrying her. Dexter: New Blood Allows Hall’s character to come face-to-face with his and Rita’s son after the latter saw him as a very young child. interesting, Rita’s two children from her previous relationship do not appear in New bloodBegging the question, where are they?

Astor and Cody continued to appear in the original show even after the death of their mother in DexterSeason 4 finale. Eventually, though, they just stop being part of the story, and the show never explains why, or where they went. The sudden and unaddressed absence of Dexter’s stepchildren could easily have been part of New bloods story, even if it was just a short line or two of dialogue.

Harrison’s new blood ending sets up the return of Astor & Cody

Dexter’s son could logically seek out his half-sisters after his father’s death

More important than being Dexter’s step-children, Astor and Cody are Harrison’s half-brothers. After Harrison seemingly killed his father at the end of New bloodAstor and Cody are the only family he has left. Even Harrison’s surrogate mother, Hannah McKay – whom Dexter left Harrison in the care of – is confirmed to have passed at the time of New blood. So, it would make sense that Harrison would want to do what he did with his father and trace his blood relatives.

Even if Dexter somehow survived being shot by Harrison in New bloodWhat with Hall’s return now seems likely, his son is unlikely to want to reunite with him for a second time. Harrison shot Dexter on purpose because he saw his serial killer father as a villain After Hall’s character killed an innocent man. Alone in the world, regardless of whether Dexter is alive, it would be logical for Harrison to be a big part of Dexters upcoming continuity and for him to look to Astor and Cody for some form of saved family life.
