During San Diego Comic-Con, Showtime shocked fans and announced a new Dexter TV show that brings back Michael C. Hall. Dexter: Resurrection, as it’s called, is the next series from the franchise, which takes place in the present day.

The 2021 spin-off Dexter: New Blood ended with Dexter lying dead in the freezing cold snow. But Dexter didn’t actually die, it seems.

“I don’t know what I am authorized to say other than, it’s really cold out there,” Hall told Variety. Whereas the original Dexter series was set in Miami, New Blood took the series to a much-colder climate. The setting and story for Resurrection is unknown for now.

Creator and showrunner Clyde Phillips previously confirmed that “Dexter is dead” after the events of New Blood, but in Hollywood, anything is possible.

In addition to starring in Dexter: Resurrection, Hall is coming back to narrate the inner voice of the young Dexter (played by Patrick Gibson) in the Dexter: Original Sin prequel series that takes place in the ’90s. A new teaser was released at Comic-Con–check it out below.

Paramount Global co-CEO Chris McCarthy said in a press release that Dexter is Showtime’s “most successful series ever,” so it’s no surprise to see the company continue to make more shows set in the universe.

The original Dexter series premiered in Fall 2006 and ran for eight seasons, chronicling the life of Hall’s Dexter character, a police forensic analyst who also kills people. The show’s finale sent Dexter to the remote wilderness to become a lumberjack, and people generally agreed that the ending was bad.

Resurrection premieres in Summer 2025, and the show will pick up “right where we left off,” Hall told Variety. He went on to say he believes people connect with Dexter because people tend to have a darkness inside them and can relate, even if it’s not as extreme as murder.

“I think we all have our shadow side that we contend with and Dexter’s is obviously a little weightier than most. People enjoy spending time with someone who is doing his best to take responsibility for that side in his sort of outside-the-box way and morally grey way,” Hall said. “People, I think, relish the invitation to identify with someone who is contending with this much darkness, and maybe contending with it in a way that is arguably admirable–even though he’s doing what he’s doing.”

Hall also discussed the possibility of other Dexter characters appearing in Resurrection, either as real people or hallucinations like the series has done before.

“Never say never. This world has sort of magical element, so I wouldn’t definitively say no to any proposition,” he said. “There’s a whole cast of characters that populate his wider world and have the potential to re-emerge.”
