[Throwback] Remembering Clyde Phillips' Original Ending For Dexter Back In 2013

With Dexter finally returning next year, it's a great opportunity to remember Executive Producer Clyde Phillips' initial idea for the series finale... if he still remained involved with Dexter back in the early 10s.



So... as you may know, Clyde Phillips was the main showrunner of Dexter in the first 4 seasons. Aka, the seasons that are the most popular among the fans. After season 4 he decided to leave the show, in order to "spend more time with his family". 

After the final episode of Dexter back in 2013, he actually revealed on E! Online his idea for the series finale if he was still running the show. Most of the fans already know what we're talking about as we posted about it 7 years ago, days after the ending.

Warning! Clyde Phillips is back on the show for the Dexter Revival which means that... the upcoming 'second finale' of Dexter may resemble to the one he revealed seven years ago. Or maybe not just because all these years he actually had more time to think for a better script for the ending. 

Possible spoilers ahead!
