Dexter is on its way back with a brand new spine-chillingseason 9 and has unveiled its first trailer for the 10-episode revival. Based on Michael C Hall's Dexter Morgan who has been on a "whirlwind" journey, the new offering is called Dexter: New Blood and drops on Showtime on November 7.

Back on our screens for the first time since 2013, showrunner Clyde Phillips explained at Comic-Con@Home panel over the weekend: "One of the things that Michael insisted on, and he was completely right, was that this not be Dexter season 9.

"This is not the next moment after the lumberjack moment. We pick up with Dexter in another place, in another world, actually, as far away from Miami as possible."

Dexter star Hall added: "I think the ending was mystifying, at best, to people – confounding, exasperating, frustrating, on down the line of negative adjectives.

"I think this is a show that's very important to all of us and the chance to revisit it and maybe in the process redefine the sense of the show's ending and the sense of the show's legacy more broadly was certainly a part of our motivation."

Hands on Dex, everyone.
