Jennifer Carpenter’sDextercharacter, Debra Morgan, died in the show’s series finale but the actress is going to be on the crime drama’s upcoming revival series nonetheless.
During aDexterQ&A at the Television Critics Association summer press tour Tuesday, Carpenter revealed how her return will be made possible.
Michael C. Hall, who played the series' titular character, said that Debra is “an internalized character” for Dexter but she also “represents how far he’s fallen … without a compass.”
“I was so excited about Jennifer doing this because I knew she would be able to shapeshift and come at Dexter from so many different places. And, of course, she did,” he said during Tuesday’s event. “And it was really fun to crack open our sense of [Dexter]’s internal landscape because it’s much more pyrotechnic and crazy than it used to be.”

Jamie Chung, who plays a true-crime podcaster named Molly on the upcoming revival, told PEOPLE thatDexter: New Blood"will certainlysatisfy everyone’s appetite."
“The original series happened over 10 years ago. So there’s certainly a different vibe of the way the actual show is shot in terms of the aesthetic,” Chung, 38, previously said. “I do think it’s a little darker.”
