Dexter Morgan is back in Dexter: Resurrection, promising thrilling twists, new enemies, and emotional confrontations in New York City.
Since Dexter: New Blood broadcast its intense series finale, fans have been abuzz with questions: Is Dexter Morgan gone for good? Showtime is reprising one of television’s most conflicted anti-heroes in Dexter: Resurrection.
Debuting in June 2025 on Paramount+ with Showtime branding, Michael C. Hall is back to revisit his signature role as the serial killer vigilante.
The showrunner, Clyde Phillips, plans to transition from the sun-kissed Miami streets and the snow-covered, peaceful town of Iron Lake to the whirlwind, concrete jungle of New York City, setting the stage for a new, fast-paced, and emotionally charged storyline.
With a mix of old favorites and big-name new cast members, the series is looking to bring the richer storytelling that made Dexter a cultural icon.
Even though New Blood concluded with Harrison shooting Dexter in a supposed final moment, Dexter: Resurrection reimagines the conclusion with a twist: Dexter lives. Several weeks later, he returns to New York City, struggling with guilt, survival, and the desperate necessity to reestablish a connection with Harrison, who is busy forging a life of his own.
The father-son relationship, once so full of betrayal and potential, is intended to be at the emotional heart of the series, offering audiences a raw and complex portrayal of redemption, forgiveness, and identity.
Now, the transition to New York City represents an exhilarating new atmosphere for Dexter. Crowded streets filled with towering skyscrapers and the anonymity of the city provide Dexter with opportunities and new threats. New York is, after all, a world far away from the close-minded communities of Miami or Iron Lake, and so with that vastness comes even greater care from Dexter.
The secret streets and frenzy of the city matched Dexter's turmoil, offering a suitably stimulating and symbolically charged backdrop for the series.
A combination of returning and new cast members provides continuity while bringing fresh energy to the show.
Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan
Jack Alcott as Harrison Morgan
David Zayas as Angel Batista
James Remar as Harry Morgan (appearing in Dexter’s imagination)
Peter Dinklage as Leon Prater, a reclusive billionaire with a dark past
Uma Thurman as Charley, a former Special Ops soldier currently operating high-level security missions
Neil Patrick Harris, Krysten Ritter, and Eric Stonestreet in still unrevealed but significant roles
The new additions indicate that Dexter: Resurrection will greatly expand its universe, introducing powerful new players who may act as allies, enemies, or something even darker.
Showrunner: Clyde Phillips returns to try to recreate the raw intensity of the original series.
Filming: Production started in January 2025, on location in New York City.
Episodes: Season one will comprise 10 episodes, each ranging from 43 to 58 minutes in length.
Dexter: Resurrection is not only about survival, it’s about settling accounts. Look for a more nuanced examination of Dexter’s guilt, the moral grayness of his "code," and the changing dynamics of family. Dexter’s path will not be one of straightforward revenge or redemption; instead, it will delve into whether a man like Dexter can ever really change.
The series will also launch a high-intelligence criminal underground in New York, challenging Dexter to confront even more sophisticated and organized foes than ever before.
Flashbacks, dream sequences, and fresh moral dilemmas that challenge the very existence of Dexter’s dark passenger are also what fans can look forward to. Contrary to the earlier seasons that greatly relied on Dexter as the most lethal individual in the room, Resurrection may turn that around, making Dexter the hunted rather than the hunter.
Dexter: Resurrection is set to rekindle the glory of the franchise with a new bold direction. With Michael C Hall reprising the title role, visionary showrunner Clyde Phillips at the helm, a stunning ensemble of new characters, and a vast urban jungle as the setting, the series is set to be an edge-of-your-seat ride.
Whether you are a longtime follower looking to get a glimpse at Dexter’s new iteration or a newcomer attracted by the fascination of a man fighting with his inner evils, Dexter: Resurrection is set to present a good time, and perhaps even a final judgment for America’s sweetheart serial killer.
