One of TV's most beloved sociopaths, Dexter Morgan, is all set to return for a bloody limited series, eight years after the hit show ended its eight-season run.
Actor Michael C Hall, who won a Golden Globe for his role as a forensic expert moonlighting as a vigilante serial killer, will return as the lead in Dexter: New Blood, which begins streaming in the UAE on Starzplay from Monday.
New episodes from the 10-episode Showtime series will be added every Monday on the platform.
Spoilers follow for those who haven't watched the final season of Dexter.
Dexter: New Blood is set 10 years after the events in the series' last episode, in which Dexter went missing in the eye of Hurricane Laura.
He is now living as a shopkeeper under an alias in a fictional town in upstate New York, far from his original home in Miami. Trying to live a quiet, normal life by abstaining from his killer instincts, he continues to be haunted by visions of his sister, Debra Morgan, who died in season eight.
That, and his thirst for blood seem to soon get the better of him, according to the trailer.
"I might still be a monster, but I'm an evolving monster," Dexter says in the clip released in September.
Showrunner Clyde Phillips told TV Insider that the dilemma will continue to be explored in the reboot.
"Dexter always has what we call 'the dark passenger' living inside him," he said. "He is more grounded than he's ever been, but that dark passenger is a voice he cannot deny. This is Dexter. People are going to die."
Alongside Hall, the cast of the revival miniseries includes Clancy Brown, David Magidoff, Julia Jones, Alano Miller, Johnny Sequoyah, Jack Alcott and Jennifer Carpenter, who will be returning as Dexter's sister Debra.
Recurring cast members appearing in the series include Jamie Chung, Oscar Wahlberg, Michael Cyril Creighton and Katy Sullivan.
The crime drama, which first premiered in 2006, was one of Showtime's biggest hits. The show's finale in September 2013 drew 2.8 million viewers, the largest overall audience in the broadcaster's history.

Other simple ideas for sushi rice dishes
Cheat’s nigiri
This is easier to make than sushi rolls. With damp hands, form the cooled rice into small tablet shapes. Place slices of fresh, raw salmon, mackerel or trout (or smoked salmon) lightly touched with wasabi, then press, wasabi side-down, onto the rice. Serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
Easy omurice
This fusion dish combines Asian fried rice with a western omelette. To make, fry cooked and cooled sushi rice with chopped vegetables such as carrot and onion and lashings of sweet-tangy ketchup, then wrap in a soft egg omelette.
Deconstructed sushi salad platter
This makes a great, fuss-free sharing meal. Arrange sushi rice on a platter or board, then fill the space with all your favourite sushi ingredients (edamame beans, cooked prawns or tuna, tempura veggies, pickled ginger and chilli tofu), with a dressing or dipping sauce on the side.

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.
