Dexter Morgan is back. Paramount+ has officially renewed the Showtime original series Dexter: Resurrection for a second season. From showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, Dexter: Resurrection stars Michael C. Hall, who reprised his role as the complicated serial killer with a conscience as he explores Dexter navigating fatherhood, morality, and the shadows of his past.
The first season of Dexter: Resurrection picked up where earlier Dexter spinoff, the one season prequel Dexter: New Blood, left off. It chronicles the reunion of Dexter and his son Harrison (Jack Alcott) as they confront their own darkness together in New York City. This now second season is expected to delve deeper into Dexter and Harrison’s relationship while continuing to explore the tension between Dexter’s compulsions and his attempts at a normal life.
Phillips, who also served as showrunner on the original Dexter leads a team of executive producers that includes Hall, Scott Reynolds (Jessica Jones), Tony Hernandez (Emily in Paris), Lilly Burns (Russian Doll), and Marcos Siega (Dexter: New Blood). The series is produced by Paramount Television Studios and Counterpart Studios.
In addition to Hall, Dexter: Resurrection stars Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, David Zayas, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusa, Emilia Suárez, James Remar and Peter Dinklage.
The original series aired on Showtime for eight seasons, from 2006 to 2013. A spinoff prequel series based on the Trinity Killer was announced to be in development last year.
Ten episodes of Dexter: Resurrection were produced in season one.
