Fans of Dexter are buzzing with anticipation as the upcoming series Dexter: Resurrection is set to revive the world of the Bay Harbor Butcher. Slated for a summer 2025 release, the new series promises to pick up the intense drama where Dexter: New Blood left off.
When does filming begin?
Filming for Dexter: Resurrection is set to start in January 2025. This coincides with the release of the early episodes of Dexter: Original Sin, another spin-off debuting on Paramount+ with Showtime. This timing suggests a coordinated rollout of Dexter-related content to keep fans engaged.
What can we expect from the plot?
While the plot is being closely guarded, Michael C. Hall hinted in an interview with Variety that the series will continue Dexter Morgan’s chilling story following the events of New Blood. He cryptically teased, “it’s really cold out there,” implying that Dexter is still alive. Additionally, Clyde Phillips, the showrunner, has confirmed they’ve already mapped out how Dexter returns.
Is Lumen returning?
Recently, a viral Facebook post sparked excitement when it featured a fan-made poster showing Lumen Pierce, played by Julia Stiles, returning to the series. While this has thrilled fans of Dexter: Season 5, it’s important to note that nothing has been confirmed. The image was created by a fan and is not an official announcement. As of now, there’s no indication that Lumen will be part of the storyline, but with the unpredictable nature of the Dexter universe, anything is possible.
Who’s behind the show?
Clyde Phillips, who shaped the original series’ iconic first four seasons and led Dexter: New Blood, will helm Dexter: Resurrection. His involvement has reassured fans that the show will stay true to the tense, morally grey narrative that made Dexter a hit.
Episode count and future seasons
Though the exact number of episodes hasn’t been revealed, it’s expected to follow the 10-episode format seen in New Blood and Dexter: Original Sin. The series is also being framed as an ongoing drama with the potential for multiple seasons, moving away from the limited series model.
When will we hear more?
Expect more updates by November, as cast announcements and teasers are anticipated soon. October 1st marks the 18th anniversary of the original series’ premiere, making it a perfect time for the team to drop exciting news about both Dexter: Resurrection and Dexter: Original Sin.
