Let's take a closer look at the new Harrison scenes from the latest Jack Alcott featurette.
We can now officially say it: Dexter: Resurrection is less than two weeks away from its highly anticipated premiere! Debuting in the heart of summer, the upcoming sequel series is poised to immerse fans in a bold new chapter — one that promises fresh adventures, deeper character arcs, and a brand-new setting.
This past week delivered a flood of exciting updates, headlined by the release of the official Inside Dexter: Resurrection featurette. The new footage offered scenes just as impactful as those seen in the main trailer. But the surprises didn’t stop there. Showtime also dropped character-centric clips under the Resurrection Rewind banner, offering a more intimate glimpse into the personal journeys of the returning cast. One of the standout features focused on none other than Harrison Morgan, portrayed by Jack Alcott.
This new teaser revealed previously unseen footage of Harrison’s life in New York City — a life he's begun building in the aftermath of fleeing Iron Lake. Though brief, the combination of new visuals and Alcott’s commentary gives us a compelling snapshot of where Harrison is now, emotionally and physically, as he unknowingly steps closer to a shocking discovery: his father, Dexter Morgan, is alive.
Let’s break down the teaser frame by frame — starting with the biggest reveals:
1. Harrison Morgan: A Confident Young Man in the Big Apple
The teaser opens with Harrison working as a bellhop at the iconic Empire Hotel in Manhattan. While this isn’t brand-new information (we previously explored the significance of his job choice in an earlier article), the connection to his late mother Rita Morgan adds emotional weight. Rita, you might recall, also worked in the hospitality industry — suggesting a subtle yet poignant parallel in Harrison’s journey toward independence and identity.
2. Meet Lance Thomas – A Mysterious New Ally?
A brief but intriguing moment shows Harrison interacting with a new face — a stylish young man stepping out of a luxury car. That character is Lance Thomas, portrayed by Darius Jordan Lee. According to production reports, Lance will appear in at least four episodes. While it’s not clear whether he's a true friend or a potential threat, his presence adds a fresh dynamic to Harrison’s evolving world.
3. Introducing Elsa Rivera: A New Colleague and Confidante
We also get our first proper look at Elsa Rivera, played by Emilia Suárez. Though she’s a series regular, Elsa hasn’t featured prominently in the trailers — until now. Elsa and Harrison work together at the Empire Hotel, and the teaser hints at a strong bond forming between them. Their chemistry feels genuine, and their connection might just go beyond friendship.
4. Back to School: Harrison Re-Enrolls in High School
Despite his turbulent past, Harrison is still just 16 years old — and school is calling. In a heartwarming moment, Harrison receives news that he’s been accepted back into high school. Elsa is visibly thrilled and even touches his face in celebration — a gesture that may hint at something more than platonic affection.
5. A New Romance on the Horizon?
In Dexter: New Blood, Harrison showed he had a romantic side, forming a relationship with Audrey, the daughter of Iron Lake’s police chief, Angela Bishop. But after his attempted patricide and dramatic departure, he left Audrey behind. Now, in New York City, it looks like young love may be blossoming again — this time, perhaps with Elsa. Could this be Harrison’s new chance at a normal relationship?
6. Preparing for the Day: Harrison Takes Charge
Another short but telling scene shows Harrison tying his tie before heading to work — a small but symbolic moment that highlights how much he’s matured. Despite being a teenager, he carries himself like someone older, wiser, and more determined. According to Alcott, Harrison now exudes a quiet confidence — the result of surviving unimaginable trauma and learning to navigate life on his own terms.
7. What's with the AirPods? A Subtle Nod to the Past
Fans have noticed that Harrison frequently wears AirPods when off-duty. Is he simply a music junkie, or is there more to it? One theory gaining traction is that Harrison may still be listening to Molly Park’s podcast, Merry, F**ing Kill, from Dexter: New Blood. If true, it could signal that he hasn’t left his fascination with serial killers — or his father’s legacy — behind just yet.
Final Thoughts: Harrison’s Story Is Just Beginning
The teaser may be short, but it packs a punch. With a fresh setting, new characters, and Harrison at the emotional core, Dexter: Resurrection is shaping up to be a compelling continuation of the saga. Whether Harrison is running from his past or unknowingly heading straight toward it, one thing is clear: the next chapter is going to be wild.
