Limited series vs. season 9[edit]

I've added a disputed-inline tag to the lede indicating this as being the ninth season. I see some work has gone into this so I don't want to disrupt much without some sort of consensus, but recent articles like this one point to Dexter: New Blood being a limited series, with one of the EPs stating "[i]t was important that this not be Dexter season 9". — stickguy (:^›)— || talk || 14:52, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree this should be at "Dexter: New Blood" since its being stated as a limited series and the intent of the production staff that it is not S9. --Masem (t) 17:06, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It has always been a limited series even when it was ordered to series. I don't think it was even referred to as season 9 on reliable sources. I would support moving this article to Dexter: New Blood and fixing the Infobox television season to Infobox television. — YoungForever^(talk) 18:19, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since some time has passed now and the show concluded, I would suggest merging "New Blood" with the Main Article, as was done in the past with the follow-up season to Twin Peaks (produced more than 20 years later), or with other additions to "finished" series, such as the last two episodes of "Titus". The least that should be done is properly including "New Blood" as another season of Dexter since, essentially, that is what it really is: The Final Chapter of Dexter's Story (Anybody in for a "Young Dexter"?). 2003:CA:3F0A:2055:F590:2372:AE36:E46D (talk) 21:18, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, it is not season 9, it is a limited series. WP:OTHERSTUFF. — YoungForever^(talk) 22:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Season 2[edit]

There is no season 2. There might be a season 2. Apparently, one has been commissioned. And as and when it eventually airs, the infobox "Original release" parameter can be updated to reflect that. Until that happens, there is only one season, and it finished airing last year. See also WP:CRYSTAL. The IP 94.5.189.130 should additionally take this as their 3RR warning, and might also want to read WP:BRD. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 10:14, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dexter: New Blood will factually/objectively/inarguably have a directly connected and same-subtitled 2nd season.

And I quote:

"Originally considered to be a standalone miniseries, it was confirmed in February 2023 that a ***second season***, centered around the character of Dexter's son Harrison, is in development".

"In February 2023, it was announced that ***Dexter: New Blood will continue*** with a story centered around Dexter's son, Harrison Morgan."

The same user incoherently changing this factual information is also the same person who claimed the show was quote "over", which has also been proven demonstrably false. 94.5.189.130 (talk) 10:28, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The network has announced this afternoon that they’re also developing a new version of “Dexter: New Blood,” which depicts the ongoing emergence of Dexter’s son Harrison. ~ per the Bloody Disgusting article. "In development" != "released", and there's many a slip twixt cup and lip. I think I'm waiting four years now for Michelle Yeoh's Star Trek: Section 31 to appear, but it's still "confirmed to be in development", according to Paramount+. WP:CRYSTAL: when it airs is when it's actually confirmed! "A new version" means it could also potentially have a different title, even if New Blood is a working title.

If it ever did receive a different subtitle at a later date, which is highly unlikely given that Showtime informed media outlets that Dexter: New Blood specifically will be continuing alongside currently untitled spin-offs, then the relevant information can be changed accordingly. The Star Trek spin-off you mentioned doesn't have an existing 1st season, if it did and a 2nd season had a delayed development time yet was never confirmed canceled then the End Date would still be valid to be listed as "Present". This has been previously showcased as evidenced by "Scream (TV series)" where a 3rd season was confirmed to be in development yet didn't debut until nearly 3 years after the final episode of the 2nd season, hence why an End Date was never added despite no update on the 3rd season for nearly 3 straight years. All current article information is valid. 94.5.189.130 (talk) 11:45, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This seems largely unneeded a debate, it should clearly be marked down as 'present' in the end date section. This is the norm throughout the site, see Stranger Things, Umbrella Academy (TV series), etc. IP 94.5.189.130 is correct in changing it to present in said section.
