Dexter: Resurrection – Michael C Hall returns in new season, complete cast, plot & release date revealed
The Dark Passenger is back – and this time, Dexter's heading to New York with a mission that's personal, dangerous, and deliciously twisted.
Dexter Morgan isn't done yet. Just when we thought New Blood closed the coffin for good, Dexter: Resurrection tears it right open. Michael C Hall returns in what Showtime is calling the most 'unpredictable chapter' in the iconic serial killer saga. The Dexter Resurrection release date has finally been confirmed as Friday, 11th July 2025, with a double-episode premiere on Paramount+, followed by a weekly release.
And yes—this time, Dexter's not hiding in a snowy town. He's alive, dangerous, and loose in New York City.
Dexter: Resurrection is made by Showtime but will stream on Paramount+. This is a smart move to grow the show's reach. It uses Paramount+'s large streaming audience. At the same time, it keeps Showtime's name and identity strong. This plan helps bring more fans to the Dexter franchise.

What is Dexter: Resurrection about?
After surviving that gunshot from his own son Harrison at the end of New Blood, Dexter wakes up in a hospital—alive, confused, and very much alone. His son has vanished, and his past is catching up fast.
Desperate to find Harrison, Dexter lands in NYC where he crosses paths with Leon Prater, a billionaire with a disturbing obsession with serial killers. Played by none other than Peter Dinklage, this twisted new villain isn't just rich—he's dark, curious, and deadly. Prater's inviting the most dangerous killers for a little... get-together. Dexter's just one of the guests.

As Michael C Hall told Vanity Fair, this series is more than just a comeback—it's a reset button. 'The ending of New Blood didn't sit right. This time, we're doing it properly.'
Watch the Dexter: Resurrection Trailer
The newly released Dexter Resurrection trailer delivers exactly what fans have been craving—tense music, shadowy alleys, blood spatter, and that classic Dexter monologue. We get glimpses of Harrison, possibly even darker than before, and a loaded stare-down between Dexter and Batista. The city's big, but it won't hide Dexter for long.
Who's in the Dexter: Resurrection cast?
The Dexter Resurrection cast is star-studded and absolutely killer:
Michael C Hall as Dexter Morgan (back in full psychopathic glory)
Jack Alcott as Harrison Morgan (still haunted, still dangerous)
Peter Dinklage as Leon Prater (the chilling new billionaire villain)
Uma Thurman as Charley (a former Special Ops officer, now head of Prater's security)
David Zayas as Angel Batista (finally back in a bigger role)
James Remar as Harry Morgan (Dexter's moral compass—sort of)
Krysten Ritter as Lady Vengeance (a serial killer disguised as a seductive sommelier)
John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer (yes, he's back from the dead—kind of)
Jimmy Smits as ADA Miguel Prado (returning for a brief but powerful cameo)
Eric Stonestreet, David Dastmalchian, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, and more in mystery roles
One heartbreaking update though—Jennifer Carpenter (Debra Morgan) won't return this time. She told People she's proud of what she did in New Blood and has now moved on.
Dexter: Resurrection Behind the Scenes
Filming began in January 2025, and the Dexter Resurrection release date just six months later shows how tightly this was executed. Michael C Hall shared a video from day one on set, saying:
'I'm on set. It's happening. Get ready to take another thrill ride with us.'
Showrunner Clyde Phillips also confirmed that the show is structured to allow new viewers to jump in, calling it 'fresh' and 'fully formed.' But for the loyal fans—expect plenty of callbacks and hidden treats.
What's Next for Dexter Morgan?
If all goes well, this won't be a one-off. Phillips said the plan is to continue the story beyond this season, and Hall is fully on board. In his words:
'This isn't a final goodbye. This is just the beginning of something bigger.'

The Dexter universe is expanding. Original Sin, the prequel series, has already laid the foundation. Now Resurrection is picking up that baton—and sprinting into something far more ambitious.
Dexter: Resurrection - Masala Moments to Watch For
A showdown between Dexter and Batista—the one we've waited years for
Peter Dinklage channeling pure chaos as a villain richer than God and just as arrogant
Dexter and Harrison's twisted father-son reunion—can they bond... without killing anyone?
Krysten Ritter's deadly alter ego may give Dexter a run for his money

Brad Pitt Is Open To Working With Tom Cruise, But There Is One Condition
Last Updated: Brad Pitt made it clear that he would not be taking on roles that require him to pull off sky-high stunts. Brad Pitt, who is eyeing the release of his sports-drama F1: The Movie, has opened up on the possibility of sharing the screen space again with Tom Cruise. They were seen together in the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire. In an interview, Pitt said he would love to work with Tom Cruise, but on one condition. Any guesses? No sky-high stunts, please. We get it, Brad Pitt, we get it. In a chat with E! News, Brad Pitt shared, 'I'm not gonna hang my a** off the airplane and s**t like that." Pitt, currently busy with the promotion F1 racing film, talked about his reunion with Cruise. The actor stated he will consider working with Mission: Impossible star 'when he does something again that's on the ground." In the same chat, Pitt went on to talk about some of the unusual habits he developed while working on F1. 'Before getting in the car, I always have to get in on the left side," he said. Pitt added, 'I have to put my left shoe on first, I'd have to put my left glove on first." Talking about Tom Cruise, the actor is well-known for pulling off heart-stopping stunts in his films. In the Mission: Impossible series, he was seen skydiving, flying helicopters, scaling skyscrapers and jumping off a cliff. Earlier, Pitt and Cruise collaborated for the 1994 film, titled Interview with the Vampire. The gothic cult classic saw a rivalry between the two, which even reached the tracks. 'We raced go-karts. He got me in the end. I gotta admit," Pitt recalled. Meanwhile, earlier this year at a Paramount event, Tom Cruise lauded Brad Pitt's driving skills, especially given his upcoming F1 film. F1: The Movie has been directed by Joseph Kosinski. Formula 1 champion and British driver Lewis Hamilton has backed the movie. It will release on June 27. Damson Idris, Javier Bardem and Kerry Condon are also part of the film. First Published:
