Michael C. Hall in “Dexter: Resurrection.”<\/p>\n
Paramount+ Premium\/Showtime<\/p>\n
Dexter: Resurrection, starring Michael C. Hall as vigilante serial killer Dexter Morgan, returned in a big way with a successful first season with viewers and critics. Does that mean, however, that the show will be resurrected for a Dexter: Resurrection Season 2?<\/p>\n
Dexter: Resurrection is set not long after the events of Dexter\u2019s first sequel series, 2021\u2019s Dexter: New Blood, which primarily focused on Dexter Morgan and the grown-up version of his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott). Four years later, Dexter: Resurrection premiered on Paramount+ with two episodes on July 11 and debuted on Showtime on cable and satellite TV two days later.<\/p>\n
