Early reviews for the first four episodes of Dexter: Resurrection are positive!
Dexter: Resurrection is off to an electrifying start, and fans have every reason to be excited. The review embargo was officially lifted just a few hours ago, allowing critics to share their thoughts on the highly anticipated sequel series—and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
Major media outlets that received advanced screeners of the first four episodes are praising the return of Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan, alongside a stellar ensemble of A-list Hollywood actors and beloved returning cast members. According to early reports, Dexter: Resurrection is not only living up to the hype but potentially surpassing it.
One of the most telling indicators? A perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on the first 12 certified critic reviews—all of them glowing. While it’s true that early scores can shift as more reviews come in, starting with a flawless rating is a rare and promising feat.
Of course, not everyone puts stock in critic reviews when it comes to TV shows or films. Still, for both longtime fans and Paramount+, this early acclaim is a very encouraging sign. It suggests that Dexter: Resurrection is poised to deliver some truly unforgettable episodes, packed with tension, drama, and the dark intrigue that made the original series iconic.
While the 100% Rotten Tomatoes score might not last forever—as is often the case—it undeniably sets a strong tone for what’s to come. If the buzz is anything to go by, viewers are in for one hell of a ride.
Debuting tomorrow, July 11, Dexter: Resurrection picks up weeks after Dexter: New Blood, with Dexter Morgan waking from a coma after being shot by his son, Harrison.

When Miami Metro’s Angel Batista arrives with probing questions, Dexter’s past closes in. As father and son confront their inner demons in the relentless city, they’re drawn into a deeper web than ever before—where their only escape may be together.
