The buzz around Dexter: Resurrection is reaching a fever pitch—and it’s taking fans to places they never imagined. With only six days remaining until the highly anticipated sequel premieres exclusively on Paramount+ Premium, excitement is skyrocketing as the next chapter in Dexter Morgan’s twisted saga unfolds.
This fresh installment picks up right where Dexter: New Blood left off, promising not just a continuation but a deeper, more satisfying evolution of the story. But there’s a thrilling twist: Dexter now finds himself in New York City, setting the stage for brand-new adventures—and even darker secrets.
As most fans already know, Dexter: Resurrection boasts some major A-list casting additions that are turning heads across the entertainment world. These new cast members bring even more depth and intrigue to the series, reinforcing its appeal and helping drive the massive promotional efforts by Paramount+ and Showtime.
Dexter Takes Over the Ballpark
If you tuned into last night’s Mets vs. Yankees game, you may have noticed something special: prominent Dexter: Resurrection ads lit up the stadium screens. Not only was the official poster on full display, but fans were also treated to an exclusive, shortened version of the official trailer—highlighting the star-studded newcomers who are set to shake up the world of Dexter Morgan. These powerhouse appearances have become a major talking point and a central hook in the show's marketing strategy.
David Zayas to Throw Ceremonial First Pitch
And today, things are getting even more exciting.
David Zayas—beloved by fans for his portrayal of Angel Batista across eight seasons of the original Dexter and again in New Blood—is back as a series regular in Dexter: Resurrection. He’s also taking part in a major promotional moment: Zayas is set to throw the ceremonial first pitch at today’s baseball game!
For those unfamiliar, the first pitch is a long-standing baseball tradition. A guest of honor—often a celebrity or notable figure—is invited to throw a baseball from the pitcher’s mound to the catcher, symbolically kicking off the game. Today, that honor belongs to Zayas, making this both a personal and promotional milestone.
Zayas Spotted with Family Ahead of the Game
Just hours before the game, Zayas was seen arriving at the venue with his loving wife, actress Liza Colón-Zayas (star of The Bear), and their son, David Zayas Jr. The trio looked excited and full of energy as they prepared for the big moment.
