Set 10 years after Dexter went missing at the end of the season finale, a new trailer for season 9 of Dexter has been released.
The Showtime teaser mixes passion, intrigue, murder and the surprise return of Dexter's son.
Set for release on November 7, eight years since the original series wrapped up, Dexter: New Blood revives the storyline of America's most endearing serial killer.
When the original series wrapped up in 2013, many fans were left disappointed by the finale, which showed Dexter presumed dead in a boating accident. The final scene of the show revealed that the vigilante had actually survived, and was living a life of solitude.
The trailer for season 9 begins with a voice clearly recognisable as Michael C Hall as the killer declaring "I might still be a monster, but I'm an evolving monster."
An innocent beginning depicts Dexter being pulled over on the side of the road by a policewoman, and giving his name as Jim Lindsay. It's soon obvious that the killer of killers is romantically involved with this chief of police.
He also seems to have a new quiet suburban life in a close-knit community in a fictional town called Iron Lake.
But when a child goes missing, Dexter's revenge seeking blood thirst seems to make a return and the clip shows him marvelling over his well-used knives.
His sister Deb, played by Jennifer Carpenter, also makes an appearance.
"It's a scary world out there, monsters walk among us," says Hall, and it's not quite clear whether he's talking about his own Dark Passenger or someone else.
At the end of the clip, Harrison, Dexter's son who had fled to Argentina in the last season of the show, makes a surprise return.
Dexter originally ran for eight seasons from 2006 until 2013. The show picked up several accolades during its run, including four Emmys, two Golden Globes, six Satellites, two Saturns and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
Michael C Hall, who plays the blood-loving forensic technician and also co-produced the show, previously said that he couldn't imagine returning as Dexter.
"I can't even wrap my mind around that. And it's all just theoretical until there is some sort of script reflecting somebody's idea of where it could possibly go. But it's hard for me to imagine what that would be," he said at the Sundance Film Festival in 2014.
He also told Variety that he would only consider revisiting his role as the serial killer who hunts down murderers who have escaped punishment if something was written that he deemed "worth pursuing".
Labour dispute
The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.

Tearful appearance
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.

Top financial tips for graduates
Araminta Robertson, of the Financially Mint blog, shares her financial advice for university leavers:
1. Build digital or technical skills: After graduation, people can find it extremely hard to find jobs. From programming to digital marketing, your early twenties are for building skills. Future employers will want people with tech skills.
2. Side hustle: At 16, I lived in a village and started teaching online, as well as doing work as a virtual assistant and marketer. There are six skills you can use online: translation; teaching; programming; digital marketing; design and writing. If you master two, you’ll always be able to make money.
3. Networking: Knowing how to make connections is extremely useful. Use LinkedIn to find people who have the job you want, connect and ask to meet for coffee. Ask how they did it and if they know anyone who can help you. I secured quite a few clients this way.
4. Pay yourself first: The minute you receive any income, put about 15 per cent aside into a savings account you won’t touch, to go towards your emergency fund or to start investing. I do 20 per cent. It helped me start saving immediately.
