Break out the old kill room, because Dexter Morgan is very not dead.
Dexter: Resurrection, the sequel series to flagship Dexter, has set a release date and has dropped a teaser trailer saying as much as it reintroduces Michael C. Hall as titular serial killer Dexter Morgan.
Dexter: Resurrection will debut with two episodes on Friday, July 11 on streaming and on demand for Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers, before its on-air debut Sunday, July 13 at 8:00 p.m. Remaining episodes will roll out weekly.
Dexter: Resurrection, from showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, is a continuation of Dexter: New Blood and picks up immediately after that 2021 limited series left off, where Dexter Morgan is revived after being shot by his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott). Dexter’s resuscitation was revealed in a flash-forward in Dexter: Original Sin, the prequel series that wrapped its first run in February (and has since been renewed). Phillips also headed up Original Sin.
Here’s the logline: “Weeks after Dexter Morgan (Hall) takes a bullet to the chest from his own son, he awakens from a coma to find Harrison (Jack Alcott) gone without a trace. Realizing the weight of what he put his son through, Dexter sets out for New York City, determined to find him and make things right. But closure won’t come easy. When Miami Metro’s Angel Batista (David Zayas) arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching up to him fast. As father and son navigate their own darkness in the city that never sleeps, they soon find themselves deeper than they ever imagined — and that the only way out is together.”
In addition to Hall, Alcott and Zayas Dexter: Resurrection stars Uma Thurman as Charley, 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, with James Remar as Dexter’s father Harry Morgan and Peter Dinklage as Leon Prater.

Neil Patrick Harris, Krysten Ritter, Eric Stonestreet and David Dastmalchian will also guest star as Lowell, Mia, Al and Gareth, respectively. Production is ongoing in New York.
Dexter: Resurrection is produced by Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios. Hall also executive produces along with Scott Reynolds, Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns and Marcos Siega. Monica Raymund directs four episodes, with Marcos Siega directing six episodes. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
