Dexter: Resurrection 2025 – Release Date, Cast, Plot & Where to Watch

Dexter: Resurrection is set to return this summer, bringing back one of television’s most iconic characters. The new chapter in the Dexter saga premieres on July 11, 2025, exclusively on Paramount+, with a TV debut on Showtime two days later, on July 13.

Michael C. Hall Returns in a New Twist

Fans thought it was the end when Dexter: New Blood ended with what seemed like a final goodbye. But that was just the beginning. In this new series, Michael C. Hall steps back into the role of Dexter Morgan, the complex antihero who has captured audiences for years.

The teaser shows Dexter reading a headline that says “Dexter Morgan Is Dead,” followed by a sly smile—hinting that not everything is as it seems.

What Is Dexter: Resurrection About?

The story picks up shortly after the dramatic ending of New Blood. After taking a bullet from his son Harrison, Dexter wakes up from a coma, only to find Harrison missing. With guilt weighing heavy on him, he heads to New York City, determined to reconnect with his son and make things right.

But nothing is ever simple for Dexter. As he searches for Harrison, his dark past comes knocking again—this time in the form of Miami Metro's Angel Batista, who has questions Dexter can’t ignore. Father and son are soon pulled into a dangerous journey through the shadows of the city.
