What if he didn't die?
00:01
What if that bullet didn't take him out?
00:02
What would that look like?
00:03
He's been given a second chance.
00:05
How does life look when you're not even supposed to be here?
00:12
The way the series proper ended was frustrating for people.
00:17
I think it made narrative sense that he put himself
00:21
into this self-imposed exile,
00:23
but it didn't sit well with people.
00:25
I think watching him get taken out
00:27
by his son made narrative sense.
00:30
It was frustrating in a different way,
00:32
much more decisive of a potential end,
00:35
but equally unsatisfying.
00:36
Yeah, people don't want to see Dexter get taken out
00:40
or take himself out.
00:41
I'm thankful for that, and I guess I share in it
00:44
because I was definitely a part of the genesis
00:48
of this notion, what if he didn't die?
00:51
What if that bullet didn't take him out?
00:53
What would that look like?
00:54
And I think what it looks like is Dexter re-entering the world
01:00
with a genuine second chance at life, revitalized.
01:03
He's obviously compromised by what's happened to him.
01:06
He's obviously a lot older than he was when we first met him,
01:10
but I think he has this sort of ebullience about him now.
01:14
He's been given a second chance.
01:16
How does life look when you're not even supposed to be here?
01:20
How are you able to kind of pinpoint what is and isn't important to you?
01:24
I think he's been burdened by his collateral damage
01:29
ever since Trinity killed Rita and is maybe now for the first time
01:34
genuinely able to put it down, not drag it around
01:38
and reclaim himself in a way.
01:41
And he's doing it all in the context of this new, exciting environment, New York City.
01:47
It was awesome.
01:47
I mean, it was a gift to me as an actor
01:51
to spend time doing scenes with those people
01:55
who were such a fundamental part of Dexter's early mythology.
02:01
It kind of rooted me in the character and his interior world
02:05
and all the interior relationships that exist within him.
02:09
It was amazing to see those guys.
02:12
It was equally great to spend the season working with James Remar again, David Zayas.
02:18
Only if you play a character as long as I've been playing Dexter
02:21
with many breaks in between, but returning to a character
02:25
and playing scenes with actors who I have real memories with
02:29
from almost two decades ago, I don't have to make it up or imagine it.
02:33
It's just there for us and, you know, it makes it really rich.
02:37
And it was a great sort of soil from which this new story grew.
