Dexter is back! Showtime’s beloved serial killer returns in a
new limited series, and original showrunner Clyde Phillips wants to
right some of the wrongs of the controversial season finale. "It's
no secret that the final season was a great disappointment,” Clyde
tells Write On. “In fact, if you look up 'Worst series finales
ever,' Dexter will show up on every top ten list… we
felt, collectively, that we owed a very faithful fanbase another
shot."
Clyde goes into detail about what it takes to write a show
like Dexter: "By the time we start really breaking
down the show, we know how it's going to end, and it's what I call
'Putting your nose against the white board' where the ending
is and walking backwards. All of these doors are on either side
like a hotel hallway, and each one of those doors is an episode,
and then you get back to episode one - room one - and you start
building the show."
