In the trailer for “Dexter: Resurrection,” there seems to be a strong reference to the classic period of the serial killer series, and any long-time fan would understand why. The image of Dexter holding a newspaper announcing his death is reminiscent of the promotional image from the first season of the original show, where he held an issue of The Miami Star. Additionally, the iconic theme music returns, hinting at its possible comeback. As noted by Dexter Daily, the color schemes resemble those used in seasons two and four, with a blue backdrop. All these elements suggest that the upcoming series might bring back what fans adored most about the Dexter universe. The limited series, “New Blood,” had a different mood, but was generally well-received despite a controversial ending. Hopefully, the creative team behind “Resurrection” will strive to avoid such divisiveness.

Dexter Resurrection’s Official Synopsis Teases The Return Of Legacy Characters And A Brand New Story

I was overjoyed to learn that rumors of Dexter’s demise were premature, as he’s making a comeback on Paramount+ through Showtime’s fresh take, titled “Resurrection.” According to the official summary, it seems our favorite serial killer is once again up to something, this time with a new mission ahead.

In Dexter: Resurrection, we find Dexter Morgan recovering from a gunshot wound inflicted by his own son, which disappeared without a trace while he was in a coma. Upon waking, Dexter feels the burden of his actions towards Harrison (played by Jack Alcott). He decides to search for him in New York City with the intention of setting things right. However, finding closure proves challenging. When Angel Batista from Miami Metro shows up with queries, Dexter recognizes that his past is swiftly catching up to him. As father and son confront their individual shadows within the city that never sleeps, they soon find themselves in a situation far more complex than anticipated, and the only escape seems to be togetherness.

In a recent Reddit Q&A session, Dexter’s producer, Clyde Phillips, explained that the show is returning because Michael C. Hall enjoyed portraying the complex serial killer character, and this was a significant factor. Notably, fans also expressed their desire to see more of Dexter. Additionally, the series found a new audience on Netflix, and the spin-off series titled “New Blood” became Showtime’s biggest hit as a limited series. This success convinced Paramount + to merge with Showtime, leading to the development of a prequel series called “Original Sin,” a Trinity Killer spin-off, and a sequel series named “Resurrection.

The Dexter universe is growing, and this is an exhilarating period for fans. The creative team intends to continue the Resurrection storyline over several seasons instead of just a limited series like New Blood. It’ll be intriguing to see what new developments they bring about.

According to the plot summary, Angel Batista plans to challenge Dexter on his connection to the Bay Harbor Butcher serial killer case, which has been eagerly anticipated and could lead to some explosive events. Furthermore, the reconciliation between Dexter and Harrison has been hinted at in the synopsis, while the arrival of Peter Dinklage’s Leon Prater and Uma Thurman’s Charley has been kept a secret so far. However, we might get more insights into these new characters with the release of the first trailer.
