[green-label]Claim:[/green-label] Showtime announced in November 2015 that the hit show _Dexter_ would be returning for another season. [dot-false]FALSE[/dot-false]

[green-label]Example:[/green-label] [green-small][_Collected via email, November 2015_][/green-small] > There are rumors about the popular showtime series _Dexter_ > returning. Is this

 true? [green-label]Origins:[/green-label] On 27 November 2015, the _Inquisitr_ published an article about the possibility that _Dexter_, the hit Showtime series about a Miami-based blood

splatter expert who is also a serial killer, might be returning for another season. While the article did not definitively state that Showtime was planning on bringing Dexter Morgan back to

the small screen, the article's sensational and misleading title, "Dexter Returns!", led many fans to believe that a firm decision has been made to revive the show: The

article itself simply rounded up various quotes from people involved with the show discussing the possibility of _Dexter_'s return. The bulk of the article was aggregated from an 11

August 2015 _Screen Crush_ article published shortly after Showtime boss David Nevins had fielded various questions about _Dexter_ during the Television Critics Association press tour: > 

Amid myriad discussion of past and future series, Showtime boss > David Nevins spoke at the TCA press tour panel this morning, keeping > his focus largely on new series from the likes 

of _Billions_ to Jim > Carrey, but also entertaining the notion of revivals. The _Dexter_ > question naturally arose once more (as it does every TCA) to which > Nevins threatened:

would certainly listen. Certainly I'd look at 'Dexter.' According to _Screen Crush_, a _Dexter_ reboot is a possibility due to the current state of television programming

(where reboots, revivals, and rehashes are abundant), but the web site also acknowledged that questions about reviving old shows are common during the TCA press tour, and that Showtime has

not announced any official plans to continue the show: > The abundance of TV revivals in the current climate, between _The > X-Files_, _Prison Break_, or even _Twin Peaks_ makes a 

_Dexter_ > return seem frighteningly more plausible, at the least. For now, > everybody be cool! So while a November 2015 news article splattered the title "Dexter Returns!"

around the Internet, rumor analysis indicates that Showtime has made no specific announcements regarding actual plans to revive Dexter Morgan. [article-meta] [green-label]Last
