“I learned that it’s completely different from [the original series]. Kind of like Perry Mason, it’s a reimagination.

There are all sorts of wonderful surprises and callbacks from the first few seasons.”
John said he first learned of Dexter's return when Clyde Phillips called him, almost five months ago.
“He said, ‘Can you come just to spend one day in The Berkshires?’” Lithgow recalled. “I said, ‘Of course I can,’ and that’s exactly what it was.”
“As all Dexter fans know, we saw the end of the Trinity Killer, so that by definition means it’s a flashback,” Lithgow said.
“It was just wonderful to rejoin that gang—including Michael and Jennifer Carpenter and Clyde Phillips.”
