A new promotional image from Episode 1 "A Beating Heart..." is here!
We're officially one week away from the most anticipated television event of the summer — the series premiere of Dexter: Resurrection. The countdown is on, and the excitement is reaching a fever pitch as the next chapter in Dexter Morgan’s twisted journey arrives next Friday on Paramount+ and Showtime.
Set shortly after the controversial Dexter: New Blood finale — which left fans divided more than three and a half years ago — Dexter: Resurrection promises a powerful comeback, anchored by the epic reunion fans have been hoping for since the very beginning.
Adding to the excitement, for the first time in the franchise's history, the premiere will include two back-to-back episodes on launch day — a double treat for longtime viewers who've been anxiously waiting to see what's next.
New Official Image From Episode 1: “A Beating Heart...”
Even though July 4th celebrations may have quieted down the online buzz temporarily, Showtime has just dropped a brand-new still from the premiere episode, titled "A Beating Heart...". The image, courtesy of photographer Zach Dilgard via Paramount+, Showtime, and The New York Times, shows none other than Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan — alive.
In this haunting image, Dexteris seen in a hospital bed at the Seneca Nation Clinic in Iron Lake, recovering from the near-fatal gunshot wound inflicted by his own son, Harrison, in the New Blood finale.
The new still offers a closer, more intimate look than we’ve seen in trailers or teasers. Despite being awake, Dexter is hooked up to monitors, his chest covered in wires — but based on the look on his face, there’s a presence in the room, someone standing over him. Is it Angel Batista?
How Long Was Dexter in a Coma
