Fans had plenty of amusing things to say about the sequel series and took to the internet to share their hilarious reactions.

"He’s still alive?" a fan wondered.

Spoiler alert - but didn’t Dexter’s character die at the end? So, how in the world is he alive? Looks like the makers might have taken the title Dexter: Resurrection a little too literally!

"How is Michael looking younger in this show? What is going on?" questioned another.

Michael C. Hall needs to share his secret to staying youthful! The man looks like he hasn’t aged a day in the 15 years since he first started filming Dexter!

Perhaps the most popular antagonist in Dexter was Sergeant James Doakes. Fans are definitely hoping the creators “resurrect” his character for the sequel series, because who wouldn’t want some tense, explosive moments with him back in the mix?

"Dexter teaming up with the bride and house Lannister ? The blood budget alone could fund a small country," a fan wrote.

Wait a minute - Dexter, Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones, and The Bride from Kill Bill all in one TV series? As this fan points out, the blood budget on this show is going to be absolutely off the charts!

"Angel has a lot of people to avenge. He’s not going to be happy with Dexter," pointed another.

If Angel Batista is returning for the Dexter sequel, he’s going to have a long list of people to avenge. The man’s been through a lot!
