Dexter: Resurrection is bringing back Michael C. Hall as the iconic Dexter Morgan, and fans are eager to dive deeper into his twisted journey. After the controversial ending of Dexter: New Blood, the new series aims to set things right and expand on Dexter’s legacy. But will this be a limited series or could it evolve into something bigger?
How Many Episodes Will Dexter: Resurrection Have?
Dexter: Resurrection will have ten episodes, according to a recent press release. The announcement also confirmed Peter Dinklage as the series’ villain, adding intrigue to the already mysterious plot. Marcos Siega, who directed episodes of Dexter: New Blood, will take charge of six episodes, while Monica Raymund, who worked on Dexter: Original Sin, will direct the remaining four. This ten-episode format mirrors both New Blood and Original Sin, so it seems Showtime is sticking with what works.
While the official premiere date is still under wraps, showrunner Clyde Phillips teased in December that fans can expect the series to premiere in June. Plot details are sparse, but leaks suggest that the story will kick off with Dexter waking up in an Iron Lake hospital before heading to New York City to reconnect with his son, Harrison. With Dexter’s darkest secrets exposed and his son being the one responsible for his apparent death, fans can expect a high-stakes and unpredictable ride.
Could Dexter: Resurrection Have Multiple Seasons?
Unlike Dexter: New Blood, which was originally designed as a one-season event, there are early reports suggesting that Dexter: Resurrection could span multiple seasons. While nothing is set in stone, it appears Showtime is keen on keeping Michael C. Hall in the lead role rather than focusing solely on Harrison, despite plans for a second season of New Blood featuring him. When Hall expressed interest in returning as Dexter, Showtime decided to pivot back to the character that made the show a hit.
Dexter: Resurrection is set to premiere this summer on Showtime and Paramount+, so fans won’t have to wait long to see what comes next for TV’s most beloved serial killer.
