The wait is almost over — the first official glimpse of Dexter: Resurrection is on the horizon.
The countdown begins! We are officially two months away from the highly anticipated series premiere of Dexter: Resurrection — the next chapter in the iconic Dexter franchise. The revival is shaping up to be a long-term addition to the Dexter universe, with both Michael C. Hall and original showrunner Clyde Phillips confirming their long-term involvement.
Production Nears Completion in New York City
Filming for Dexter: Resurrection is now in its final stages in New York City and is expected to wrap by June. While behind-the-scenes photos, episode images, and nostalgic teaser promos have surfaced in recent months, fans are still eagerly awaiting official footage from the series.
Comparing Marketing Approaches: Original Sin vs. Resurrection
If we look back at Dexter: Original Sin, the prequel series that premiered in December, fans were treated to a full teaser trailer and a confirmed release date three months in advance. That campaign allowed the audience to get a solid first look at the show's tone, cast, and setting.
In contrast, Dexter: Resurrection has taken a more secretive, old-school approach. The release date announcement came alongside a minimalist teaser filled with nostalgic Easter eggs — a deliberate move that sparked curiosity but left fans hungry for more.
A New Strategy from Showtime & Paramount+
Unlike the traditional marketing tactics used for past Dexter installments, Showtime and Paramount+ are keeping details about Dexter: Resurrection under tighter wraps. While it's been confirmed that this is a direct sequel to Dexter: New Blood — and yes, Dexter is alive in New York — official footage has been notably absent.
But that’s about to change — and very soon.
Is a Dexter: Resurrection Trailer Coming This Month?
Yes — fans can officially expect the first trailer for Dexter: Resurrection to drop in the coming weeks.
When Will the Trailer Be Released?
Mark your calendars: Saturday, May 31st is the date to watch. That’s when fans will finally get to see new footage from the upcoming series. While it's still unconfirmed whether this will be a full-length trailer or just a sneak peek montage, all signs point to a teaser trailer reveal.
Why a Saturday Trailer Drop?
That date coincides with the first official Dexter: Resurrection panel at CCXP Mexico (Comic Con Experience) in Mexico City. During the event, fans will hear directly from the core creative team, including:
- Michael C. Hall (Dexter Morgan)
- David Zayas (Angel Batista)
- Clyde Phillips (Showrunner)
- Scott Reynolds (Executive Producer)
This marks the first major promotional event for the new series — with the next likely taking place at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
What to Expect from the Trailer?
While details remain under wraps, the trailer is expected to give fans their first real glimpse of Dexter’s return, his current life in New York City, and possibly the new antagonists and storyline direction. Recently we exclusively confirmed that Dexter: Resurrection will share the same 21:9 aspect ratio as New Blood, but the series' approach to color and visual style promises to be particularly interesting.
Stay Tuned: Big Updates Are Coming
This is only the beginning of what promises to be a thrilling ride for Dexter fans. With the marketing campaign about to kick into high gear, May will be packed with surprises, reveals, and insider content.
