According to this report, both Harrison and Batista are confirmed to return.
While much of the Dexter fandom’s focus is on Dexter: Original Sin, which has aired its first four episodes on Paramount+ with Showtime to widespread acclaim, another highly anticipated series is gearing up to start production soon.
Enter Dexter: Resurrection—the sequel to the 2021-2022 limited series Dexter: New Blood. This new chapter will pick up immediately after the divisive New Blood finale, which left many fans disappointed. Once again, Michael C. Hall returns as Dexter Morgan, with the story revealing his survival from near-fatal wounds and his literal resurrection, as teased in the flashforwards of the Dexter: Original Sin series premiere, released on December 13.
So far, Michael C. Hall is the only officially confirmed cast member since the show's announcement at San Diego Comic-Con. However, rumors are swirling about other notable additions. Speculation includes Game of Thrones alum Peter Dinklage and Gillian Anderson potentially joining the cast, but no confirmations have been made.
In the latest casting buzz, Cinemaholic—a reliable source for updates on Dexter spinoffs—reports that Jack Alcott (Harrison in New Blood) and David Zayas (Batista in the original series and New Blood) are “confirmed” to star in Dexter: Resurrection. While there’s no official announcement beyond Hall’s involvement, Cinemaholic claims both Zayas and Alcott will have starring roles. The report also states that principal photography is set for January 9 to April 15, 2025, in Yonkers, New York, aligning with recent teases from writer Scott Reynolds.
Potential Spoilers Ahead!
Cinemaholic also hints at possible plot details, though these should be taken with a grain of salt. According to the site, Dexter: Resurrection "will follow Harrison as he embarks on his own killing spree after the presumed death of his father, Dexter." This premise feels reminiscent of the scrapped Harrison-centric spinoff—formerly referred to as Dexter: New Blood Season 2—that Clyde Phillips mentioned in a recent interview as having been fully written before being shelved in favor of Hall’s return.
Production for Dexter: Resurrection begins in early January, and with the start date fast approaching, official casting announcements are just around the corner. The series is scheduled to debut sometime in June 2025. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting new installment!
