Keep reading until the end—there just might be a twist you didn’t see coming.
Filming for Dexter: Resurrection has officially wrapped its 16th week in New York City, and this week brought an exciting wave of updates for fans of the iconic crime-thriller saga. The highlight? A brand-new teaser trailer dropped, confirming the long-awaited official release date for the sequel. While the teaser didn’t feature new footage, it successfully reignited fan anticipation for Dexter Morgan’s chilling return.
Set Photos Tease Major Life Shift for Harrison
After a relatively quiet couple of weeks with little to no set photos or behind-the-scenes updates, new images from the Dexter: Resurrection set emerged—and they might just hint at a pivotal storyline development involving Harrison Morgan.
The photos, taken in Manhattan, reveal a scene filmed outside a fictional college known as Collings College, which is reportedly located in the heart of New York City. According to signage seen on set, Collings College specializes in criminology, suggesting that Harrison is now heading down an academic path aligned with his dark and complex past.
Could this be the next chapter in Harrison's journey? Is he embracing his roots while trying to understand his "dark passenger"?
Like Father, Like Son: The Morgan Legacy Continues
In a heartwarming and telling on-set moment, Michael C. Hall was spotted at the same filming location, wearing a cap branded with the Collings Criminology College logo. Beneath it, the cap bore the words “Proud Dad”—a subtle yet powerful nod to Dexter’s conflicted pride in his son’s path.
Is Harrison Too Young for College?
In Dexter: New Blood, Harrison was introduced as a 16-year-old, portrayed by Jack Alcott. That series took place in late 2021. Since Dexter: Resurrection reportedly picks up just weeks later, the timeline places Harrison at about 16 going on 17 in early 2022.
While it may seem early, it’s not implausible. Many academically advanced teens enter college at 16 or 17 through early admission programs, gifted student initiatives, or by completing high school early. This plot choice may underscore Harrison’s intelligence, drive, and psychological complexity—traits inherited from Dexter himself.
Plot Twist: Is It All Just a Stalking Scenario?
While the idea of Dexter and Harrison starting fresh—with poetic undertones of redemption and father-son bonding—certainly appeals to fans, there's another, darker possibility. What if everything we’ve mentioned is part of a meticulously planned mission?
In this alternate scenario, Dexter and Harrison may not just be settling into normal life. Instead, they could be working together under assumed identities, stalking a new target to eventually bring them to the infamous kill table. This theory would mean that in Dexter: Resurrection, father and son are now partners in vigilantism—using deception and infiltration as tools to carry out their dark justice.
Picture this: Harrison is posing as a criminology student at college, blending in to get close to their target. Meanwhile, Dexter plays the role of a proud, supportive father. But behind the scenes, they’re orchestrating a calculated hunt. Could this double life be the real plot twist?
Which Scenario Is More Likely?
So, what’s the truth? Is Harrison genuinely pursuing a degree in criminology and building a new life? Or is their entire story a cover for something far more sinister? Are we watching a heartfelt transformation—or a cleverly disguised stalking operation?
With production deep into its New York schedule and new details surfacing, Dexter: Resurrection continues to shape up as a compelling continuation of the Morgan legacy.
