Rumors began to circulate this weekend that Showtime was interested in bringing back its biggest series to date, Dexter, which ran for four seasons and limped for another four before being put out of its misery with a series finale that holds the record for highest rated episode for the network. (Side note: The show began faltering creatively in the fifth season after its head writer, Melissa Rosenberg, left. Rosenberg is now the showrunner for Jessica Jones). The rumors picked up enough steam over a slow-news weekend, in fact, that it began trending on Facebook, and countless fans of the series began getting their hopes up for a return (while critics of the last four seasons began bemoaning talks of a reboot).

There Are No Current Plans for a "Dexter" Revival, Showtime Says

Don't break out the flannel just yet, "Dexter" fans. There are no (current) plans to reboot "Dexter", Showtime representatives told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday.

Rumors began swirling over the Thanksgiving holiday break that the premium cable network was mulling a revival of the Michael C. Hall starrer after the show's official Twitter account posted a cryptic tweet.



Showtime reps told THR that the tweet was a typical post for diehard "Dexter" fans who, more than two years after the series concluded, still watch episodes together.

(The show's official Twitter feed also posted similar updates pegged to Halloween and Friday the 13th.)
