Details About Every Dexter: New Blood Soundtrack (So Far)
Dexter franchise is back with Dexter: New Blood. This new narrative is punctuated by its soundtrack. Here is a sneak peek into every New Blood Episode 1 track and when they play.
The soundtrack of Dexter: New Blood is significant for highlighting the return of Michael C. Hall’s killer after a decade (almost). The original series ran between 2006 and 2013 that finally concluded with its season 8. The final episode saw Dexter faking his death and moving to Oregon where he plans to live with an assumed name. With that being said, New Blood picks up the same storyline and is set ten years after 2013’s season-ending.
The New Blood And Fatherhood
The original series saw the killer residing in Miami where he was referred to as “The Bay Harbor Butcher.” While Dexter used to struggle with human emotions, he eventually started discovering more and more about having romantic relationships and fatherhood. After what all happened in 2013’s season, Dexter: New Blood picks up a storyline where Dexter is living as Jim Lindsay in the small town of Iron Lake.
The TV series heavily relies on the background score and that is why Dexter: New Blood’s tracks thrive to echo messages that can’t be conveyed via direct conversations. Now that Michael C. Hall is the executive producer of the show, it is no surprise why New Blood’s soundtrack is on the point.
