It’s not Halloween yet, but that’s not stopping Showtime from giving us a bloody good surprise as they set Friday, July 11, for the premiere of Dexter: Resurrection. A teaser for the Dexter: New Blood follow-up series can be found above.
The series will debut with two episodes via streaming and on demand for Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers before its on-air debut Sunday, July 13 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Each remaining episode will drop weekly.
Production on Dexter: Resurrection, from showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, kicked off in January in New York, where shooting continues.
Dexter: Resurrection takes place weeks after Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) takes a bullet to the chest from his own son, as he awakens from a coma to find Harrison (Jack Alcott) gone without a trace. Realizing the weight of what he put his son through, Dexter sets out for New York City, determined to find him and make things right. But closure won’t come easily. When Miami Metro’s Angel Batista (David Zayas) arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching up to him fast. As father and son navigate their darkness in the city that never sleeps, they soon find themselves deeper than they ever imagined—and that the only way out is together.
