That might surprise some people given the show’s original ending is widely hated and Dexter: New Blood was incredibly divisive. However, that division may be a motivator for the creative team as they are bringing the beloved serial killer back for another round.

It’s true, Dexter Morgan isn’t dead, despite that originally being the intention!Dexter: Resurrection is a brand new sequel series coming to Showtime and Paramount+ later this year. It takes place immediately after the events of Dexter: New Blood and keeps everything canon.

Episodes will release weekly from there, so you can expect the show to end sometime in early September.Showrunner Clyde Phillips had previously stated in interviews that Resurrection would premiere in June, but it seems like there was an internal delay.

Showtime and Paramount never officially dated the show beyond a summer release, so it may have been more of a target date than anything else.What Is Dexter: Resurrection About?dexter: resurrectionDexter: Resurrection is a sequel series to both Dexter and Dexter: New Blood. Although Dexter Morgan was shot and assumed dead at the end of the latter show, the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin confirms he survived.

Thanks to the help of doctors, Dexter is rushed to the emergency room where they are able to keep him alive. Showrunner Clyde Phillips previously confirmed that the cold weather and snow slowed Dexter’s blood loss, ensuring his survival. So, with Dexter alive and mostly well, what now?The official plot synopsis for Dexter: Resurrection reveals that the show takes place just a few weeks after the end of New Blood and sees Dexter trying to reconnect with Harrison in New York City.

You can read the full synopsis below.“Dexter: Resurrection, a continuation of Dexter: New Blood, takes place weeks after Dexter Morgan takes a bullet to the chest from his own son, as he awakens from a coma to find Harrison 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 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.

”So, is Dexter on the run from the police after leaving for New York? He did kill a cop at the end of New Blood and broke out of custody following suspicions of him being the Bay Harbor Butcher. It is hard to tell at the moment, but some set photos have seen Dexter driving multiple vehicles, none of which appear to actually be his. The synopsis is keeping some stuff a secret, though.

Regardless, it does seem like Dexter will be confronted by his old friend Angel Batista at some point. A confrontation between the two was set up in Dexter: New Blood, but didn’t happen. Batista’s actor David Zayas is confirmed to be in the series so it’s likely the two will finally come face to face.

Of course, there will also be a big bad in the form of Leon Prater, a billionaire with a dark side played by Peter Dinklage. He will also be joined by Uma Thurman’s character, Charley, who serves as a fixer to do his dirty work. As for what his beef with Dexter is remains unknown, but it’s possible he owns the hotel that Harrison works for and they cross paths that way.

While the bulk of Dexter: Resurrection will be set in New York City, the show has also had casting calls for Latino/Latina actors to appear in a Miami-themed setting. So, it’s possible there will be flashbacks or select scenes in Miami as well, the city where the original series took place.Dexter: Resurrection Cast: Who’s In It and Who’s Not?dexter: resurrectionDexter: Resurrection appears to have the most star-studded cast in the history of the show.
