Hours before Episode 4 of Dexter: Resurrection drops, Showtime unveils an exciting new clip!
Episode 4 of Dexter: Resurrection, titled “Call Me Red,” is just hours away from premiering on Paramount+ with Showtime, and to build anticipation, Showtime has released a brand-new sneak peek clip—and it’s one fans won’t want to miss.
Staying true to their tradition of dropping teasers on the eve of each new episode, Showtime’s latest preview arrived slightly later than usual—but it was worth the wait. This new footage gives us our first extended look at Peter Dinklage’s intriguing character, Leon Prater, and it's packed with subtle tension and unsettling charm.
The scene opens with Uma Thurman’s character and Dexter, who is impersonating Ronald Schmidt (aka "Red"), arriving at Leon’s location via elevator. Standing in front of a crackling fireplace, Leon welcomes Dexter warmly, creating an immediate air of mystery and unpredictability. Interestingly, Dexter appears to be the first guest to arrive, and he’s visibly surprised when Leon informs him that more guests are expected.
What’s especially compelling about this sneak peek is how different Leon Prater appears here compared to the official trailer for Dexter: Resurrection. In the trailer, Leon’s tone came off as dark and sort of intimidating. But in this final version of the scene, his demeanor is much more upbeat and friendly—even when delivering the exact same lines. The contrast is striking and it was done on purpose for strategic reasons.
Despite his welcoming attitude, there’s an undeniable tension beneath Leon’s smile. And his obsession with serial killers—something hinted at in earlier promos—is more than enough to raise red flags.
This sneak peek not only builds suspense for the upcoming episode, but also showcases the nuanced performance by Peter Dinklage, adding another layer of excitement for what’s already shaping up to be a landmark hour in the franchise. In fact, as we previously reported, Episode 4 will be the longest episode in Dexter history.
Watch the brand-new sneak peek below and get ready for Dexter: Resurrection – Episode 4 “Call Me Red”, streaming tonight on Paramount+ with Showtime.
