Dexter is coming back once more. After returning as narrator for Dexter: Original Sin, Michael C. Hall will be reprising his role once again on-screen for another followup to the celebrated original — this time, titled Dexter: Resurrection.

The spinoff series is now in production, and details about what fans can expect (including some exciting new additions to the cast) are starting to be revealed.

So what is there to know about the series so far? Here’s a look at everything we know about Dexter: Resurrection at this time.

When will Dexter: Resurrection premiere?

The sequel series is confirmed to premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime in the summer of 2025, with production having begun in New York in January. A teaser for the series, featuring a snippet of new voiceover from Hall, was released alongside the premiere of Original Sin (and is embedded above).

Who will star in Dexter: Resurrection?

Hall will reprise his role as the titular serial killer, but he might not be the only familiar face. Hall teased in a Variety interview, “There’s a whole cast of characters that populate his wider world and have the potential to re-emerge.”

David Zayas and James Remar will also reprise their original Dexter series roles, as Angel Batista and Harry Morgan, and Jack Alcott will once again portray Harrison Morgan, Dexter’s son, after portraying the character in the sequel series Dexter: New Blood.

Joining the series as a newcomer character are Neil Patrick Harris as Lowell and Krysten Ritter, who will guest star as Mia. Eric Stonestreet will guest star as Al, a suspected serial killer from Kansas City, for four episodes, and David Dastmalchian will appear as Gareth.

Plus, Uma Thurman has joined the series in a regular role as Charley, a former special ops officer-turned-security chief for a billionaire named Leon Prater. And Peter Dinklage will star as Leon Prater, who is the megavillain of the first season.

Fans will also see Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine as Blessing Kamara, Kadia Saraf as Detective Claudette Wallace, Dominic Fumusa as Detective Melvin Oliva, and Emilia Suárez as Elsa Rivera.

What will Dexter: Resurrection be about?

Hall told Variety that the new series “will pick up right where they left off” after the events of the 2021 sequel series Dexter: New Blood.

New Blood took place 10 years after the events of the original series and featured Dexter Morgan living in a small town in Upstate New York under an assumed name. At the end of the limited series finale, Dexter was seen bleeding out in the cold.

After Dexter’s revival was shown in the premiere of Original Sin, Clyde Phillips told TV Insider, “In the beginning of Resurrection, the doctor says to Dexter, Michael Hall, ‘Had you been shot in the summertime, you’d be dead, but you were shot in zero degree weather. And we ripped you open, and we’re able to get you minutes before you died.'”

Previously, Phillips had told Deadline matter-of-factly, “I have three words for you: Dexter is dead. I wouldn’t do that to the audience. It would be dishonest. Here, there is no question that this is the finale of Dexter. Dexter is dead.” He went on to point to Dexter’s son Harrison Morgan (Jack Alcott) as the potential future of the franchise.
