‘Dexter: Resurrection’: Cast, Premiere Date & Everything Else We Know So Far
Dexter is coming back … again. At the San Diego Comic-Con panel for the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin, fans learned that Michael C. Hall would be reprising his role once again for another followup to the celebrated original — this time, titled Dexter: Resurrection.
So what is there to know about the series so far? Here’s a look at everything we know about Dexter: Resurrection so far.
When will Dexter: Resurrection premiere?
The Showtime series is confirmed to premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime in the summer of 2025, with production expected to begin 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.”
Deadline reported that 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.
Plus, Deadline revealed that 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.
Marcos Siega, who executive-produced New Blood, is also back to work and shared a first look at the script on social media.
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.
