Release date & Where to Watch
Dexter: Resurrection is set to debut in Summer 2025 on Showtime and Paramount+. Filming began on Jan. 9, 2025, in New York. The series will consist of ten episodes, as confirmed in a recent press release.
What is the plot of Dexter: Resurrection?
Dexter: Resurrection picks up right after the events of Dexter: New Blood, where Harrison shoots his father, Dexter, in the snow. Despite showrunner Clyde Phillips' initial confirmation that Dexter was dead, the Resurrection storyline reveals that Dexter survived. As shown in Dexter: Original Sin, doctors managed to revive him, thanks to the cold temperatures which slowed his bleeding, giving him a chance at life.
The series is shrouded in mystery, but leaks suggest Dexter awakens in a hospital in Iron Lake before heading to New York City to find his son. With Dexter’s secrets exposed and Harrison being the one who “killed” him, the series promises to explore high-stakes, unpredictable paths.
The title Resurrection isn’t just a reflection of Dexter’s return—it’s also a new chapter in his story. There are endless fan theories about where the series will go, with possibilities ranging from Dexter in jail, on the run, or working alongside police to hunt serial killers, all while trying to suppress his Dark Passenger. The series could also delve into Dexter’s relationship with his son and the emotional fallout of his near-death experience.
As the show continues to unfold, it will likely address the aftermath of Dexter’s request for Harrison to kill him, possibly reigniting Dexter’s bloodlust and exploring his complex relationship with his family. The direction remains unclear, but it promises a fresh, high-stakes journey for the iconic character.

Is There a Trailer for Dexter: Resurrection?
The first teaser for Dexter: Resurrection aired before the premiere of Dexter: Original Sin, but it doesn't give much away. The teaser does confirm that Dexter Morgan's story is far from over.
Could Dexter: Resurrection have Multiple Seasons?
Unlike Dexter: New Blood, which was conceived as a one-season event, Dexter: Resurrection is reportedly being developed with multiple seasons in mind. While plans could evolve, early signs point to Showtime wanting Michael C. Hall to remain in the lead role rather than shifting the focus entirely to Harrison.
Although a second season of New Blood with Harrison as the protagonist was initially in the works, Showtime changed course when Hall showed interest in returning as Dexter.
Behind the Scenes
Marcos Siega, who directed Dexter: New Blood, will helm six episodes of Dexter: Resurrection, while Monica Raymund, a director from Dexter: Original Sin, will direct the remaining four episodes.
The series is executive produced by Emmy nominee Clyde Phillips, the showrunner for Dexter and Dexter: Original Sin, alongside Michael C. Hall, Scott Reynolds, Tony Hernandez, and Lilly Burns. The series is produced by Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios, with Paramount Global Content Distribution handling the release.
