Highlights

  • Michael C. Hall announced involvement in two new Dexter series at the Comic Con panel.

As a die-hard Dexter fan since the early 2000s, I’ve been through the highs and lows of Michael C. Hall’s dark passenger saga. From the nail-biting suspense of the original series to the heart-wrenching finale that left us all scratching our heads, Dexter has always managed to keep me on my toes.

Over the weekend at the San Diego Comic Con’s Dexter panel, an unexpected surprise occurred as Michael C. Hall made an appearance alongside other cast members of “Dexter: Original Sin.” The lead actor from the original Dexter series announced that he will be part of the upcoming prequel series, voicing the title character’s inner thoughts. Furthermore, during the event, Hall shared that he will also star in a forthcoming sequel series titled “Dexter: Resurrection,” which is scheduled to debut in Summer 2025.

In the final episode of Dexter: New Blood, viewers were left puzzled and thrilled as they assumed that the main character, Dexter Morgan, had been killed by his son Harrison following a severe gunshot wound. However, some are now questioning if Dexter somehow managed to survive or whether there’s another reason for his reappearance in a possible sequel series.

What happened at the end of Dexter: New Blood?

Dexter: Resurrection- Is Dexter Actually Alive In The Upcoming Sequel Series?

In the chilling revelation that Dexter Morgan, my supposedly deceased friend, was indeed the Bay Harbor Butcher, Chief Bishop apprehended him and locked him up. She reached out to Angel Batista to share this shocking news. As Batista made his way to Iron Lake, I was left pondering my destiny in the cold confines of my cell. However, when Sergeant Logan brought me a meal, I managed to overpower him, end his life, and break free from my prison cell.

In the finale of ‘Dexter: New Blood’, Dexter confronts Harrison and proposes they flee together. However, Harrison realizes that Dexter has murdered Logan, confirmed by a call from his phone. Harrison then points a firearm at Dexter, but Dexter encourages him to go ahead and pull the trigger. Weighing the repercussions of his actions, Harrison fires, wounding Dexter severely. Upon arrival, Angela finds herself in a quandary; instead of apprehending Harrison, she hands him money and advises him to abandon Iron Lake forever. Angela then manipulates the crime scene to suggest that she was defending herself when she shot Dexter. Consequently, Dexter lies fatally injured on the cold ground as the episode concludes.

What did Michael C. Hall say about his return in Dexter; Resurrection?

Information about the upcoming sequel series titled “Dexter: Resurrection” was scarce during its presentation at Comic Con, with the update being shared near the conclusion of “Dexter: Original Sin‘s” stage time. This revelation left fans puzzled about how Michael C. Hall could reprise his iconic character. It’s important to note that “Dexter: New Blood was a limited series created specifically to provide a conclusive ending for Dexter’s story,” following the controversial finale of the original Dexter series in 2013. In an early 2022 interview with Deadline, showrunner Clyde Phillips discussed Dexter’s fate at the end of “Dexter: New Blood“.

As a devoted fan of Dexter, let me confirm this: The final chapter has been penned for our beloved anti-hero. I wouldn’t mislead the audience in any way; it’s not right. There’s no room for doubt here – Dexter has met his end. The series finale is undeniably upon us, and Dexter is no more.

It seems that Michael C. Hall has shared some insights about the series “Dexter: Resurrection” in a talk with Variety, which strongly hints that character Dexter might still be alive.

I don’t know what I am authorized to say other than, it’s really cold out there.

While many fans who felt disappointed by Dexter’s supposed end in “Dexter: New Blood” may find relief in his potential survival, it represents a stark change from the original plan to conclude the series with Dexter’s demise. Initially, the creators had decided to kill off Dexter, and discussions about a spin-off featuring Harrison were underway. The proposed series would center on Harrison as he grappled with his own dark passenger. However, “Dexter New Blood” Season 2 was canceled, and it seems that the team instead opted for “Dexter: Resurrection.”

During the same interview with Variety, Michael C. Hall revealed that “Dexter: Resurrection” would continue directly from the storyline of “Dexter: New Blood,” and when asked about the reasons behind Dexter’s return, he offered a slightly expanded explanation.

It seemed like there was still a lot of story left untold, and I’ve noticed that the world of Dexter continues to be rich and intriguing. With our new partnership with Paramount+ and our eagerness to expand the Dexter universe, the prospect of possibly telling more stories became quite appealing.

The world of Dexter has proven to be highly profitable, and it’s clear that fans crave additional stories set within this universe, which seems to have led to the reversal of Dexter’s fate. Furthermore, Michael C. Hall indicated that Dexter: Resurrection won’t be a limited series, potentially lasting for numerous seasons. Consequently, viewers can anticipate the continuation of the life of their favorite serial killer with a moral compass for an extended period.
