‘Dexter: New Blood’: Descriptions Released for Episodes 1 and 2

Dexter: New Blood is less than one month away, and Showtime has released episode descriptions for the first two episodes. The descriptions give a little taste of what Dexter’s been up to, as well as introduce the season’s main case. Read the full descriptions below.

Episode 1: “Cold Snap”

“For the past decade, Dexter has been living a quiet, isolated life far away from the temptations of his past. He’s found comfort in a new identity and has assimilated into small-town life as a beloved member of the Iron Lake community. When a local hotshot begins behaving recklessly, and a mysterious stranger seems to be on Dexter’s trail, he questions whether he can continue to suppress the murderous urgings of his Dark Passenger.”

Episode 2: “Storm of Fuck”

“When a simple missing person case turns into a crime scene, Dexter’s cabin becomes home base for the search and rescue. Terrible timing for Dexter, who is trying to reunite with his long-lost son, Harrison. As Angela and Harrison become acquainted, Dexter struggles to keep his old and new worlds separate.”
