Just when you thought it was safe to put away the plastic wrap, Dexter: Resurrection is bringing everyone’s favorite blood-spatter analyst back to the small screen. Paramount+ with Showtime has officially unveiled the first trailer for the highly anticipated follow-up to Dexter: New Blood, and yes—it looks like the Dark Passenger has survived yet again.
Picking up after the controversial and polarizing finale of New Blood, the new series sees Dexter Morgan trading in the snowy woods of Iron Lake for the buzzing chaos of New York City. How exactly he survived his supposed end is still a mystery, but the trailer hints at a new chapter soaked in neon lights and urban paranoia. And he won’t be alone in this bloody reboot.
The cast? Absolutely stacked. Kill Bill legend Uma Thurman. Jessica Jones herself, Krysten Ritter. Game of Thrones fan-favorite Peter Dinklage. Neil Patrick Harris, Eric Stonestreet, and the long-awaited return of James Remar as Dexter’s ghostly conscience, Harry. With talent like this, it’s safe to say Dexter’s new world is about to get delightfully twisted.
While plot details remain as murky as one of Dexter’s bay harbor dumpsites, the trailer teases a tantalizing premise: Dexter crossing paths with a network—or perhaps cult—of serial killers, seemingly orchestrated by Dinklage’s character. It’s unclear if Dinklage is the ringleader, a rival, or something more sinister, but his intense presence hints at a cerebral showdown that may finally challenge Dexter’s twisted moral code.
Meanwhile, fan-favorite David Zayas returns as Angel Batista, who’s hot on Dexter’s trail after years of unanswered questions and unresolved suspicions. And yes, Harrison is back too—older, colder, and potentially following his father’s infamous path. Is he looking to connect? Continue the legacy? Or stop it once and for all?
Dexter: Resurrection premieres July 11, and if the trailer is any indication, the stakes—and the body count—have never been higher. Fans may still be split on how New Blood ended, but one thing is clear: the Dark Passenger hasn’t checked out just yet.
