These are the writers behind the first two episodes premiering this Friday.
The wait is almost over—Dexter: Resurrection is set to make its highly anticipated debut later this week on Paramount+ Premium, and it’s arriving with a bang: not one, but two brand-new episodes will premiere simultaneously, marking a historic first for the franchise.
As excitement reaches a fever pitch, the cast and crew are in full promotional mode. This week is packed with major events, especially in New York City, where the official red carpet premiere will take place—and yes, Dexter Daily will be there to cover it all.
Showrunner Clyde Phillips and series star Michael C. Hall have both confirmed that this new chapter is just the beginning, with Dexter: Resurrection intended as the first of many upcoming seasons. This new season will feature 10 episodes, and for the first time ever in the franchise’s history, the premiere includes two episodes instead of one—a creative decision likely tied to the pacing and storytelling of this ambitious reboot.
Directed by Marcos Siega, Written by Familiar (and New) Voices
Both premiere episodes are directed by Marcos Siega, a longtime collaborator of the franchise. Here’s what we know so far:
Episode 1: "A Beating Heart..."
The title is a powerful nod to Dexter’s unexpected survival after being shot by his own son in the New Blood finale. This pivotal first episode is written by Clyde Phillips himself, continuing the tradition of showrunners penning the season opener.
Episode 2: "Camera Shy"
Likely referencing Dexter’s move to the ever-watchful city of New York—where surveillance is everywhere—this episode is written by Tanner Bean and Katrina Mathewson. The duo previously wrote two standout episodes of the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin: “Kid in a Candy Store” and “The Big Bad Body Problem.”
(Fun fact: Tanner Bean just became a first-time dad two days ago!)
