"I hope they'll feel like they went on a thrill ride," Hall said about the fans.
Dexter: Resurrection may already be two episodes deep, but fans are still buzzing with theories about how this next chapter in the Dexter saga will unfold — and more importantly, how it will end.
Over the past several months, both cast and crew members — including key decision-makers — have confirmed that Dexter: Resurrection is being developed as a multi-season series. That’s big news for longtime fans eager to see the story continue beyond this season.
With that in mind, a newly released interview with Michael C. Hall (Dexter Morgan) and David Zayas (Angel Batista), conducted by Collider, gives some fresh insight into what’s ahead — including the finale and the show’s future. The conversation was filmed nearly three weeks before production wrapped, but only made its way online recently.
A Tight Filming Schedule — But a Clear Vision
Michael C. Hall recently shed light on the demanding production process behind Dexter: Resurrection, revealing just how intense the filming schedule was. With little room for reshoots or delays, the team worked under significant time constraints — but according to Hall, that pressure actually brought out their best.
“You don’t have the luxury of going over,” he admitted, explaining that everything had to be captured within a narrow window. But rather than seeing it as a burden, Hall described the experience as “a nice pressure,” one that helped sharpen the focus and energy on set. “It’s a pretty quick turnaround,” he added — but one that kept the creative momentum alive.
Fortunately, the series had a major asset working in its favor: all scripts were completed before cameras started rolling. This allowed the cast and crew to approach each episode with a full understanding of the story’s arc. Hall called this a rare luxury, one that brought a level of cohesion to the performances and the show’s overall tone. For fans, this means a tighter, more deliberate storytelling experience from beginning to end.
What to Expect from the Dexter: Resurrection Finale — And How Fans Might React
With the Dexter: Resurrection Season 1 finale set to premiere on September 5th, excitement — and speculation — is reaching new heights. During the interview, Michael C. Hall offered a glimpse of what’s in store and how he hopes viewers will respond.
“There are a lot of balls in the air,” he said, hinting at the complexity of the finale. “They all kind of coalesce into one big climactic ball of story.” Hall emphasized that the goal was to create a thrilling, payoff — the kind of ending that rewards loyal fans while leaving them eager for what might come next. “Hopefully, it will be satisfying” he said.
In his own words, he hopes fans will walk away feeling like they’ve been on a “thrill ride,” one that just might open the door for more stories in the Dexter universe.
“Touched by an Ángel” — The Penultimate Episode Fans are Talking About
As if fan theories weren’t already flying, the title of the second-to-last episode — Touched by an Ángel — has only added fuel to the fire. Actor David Zayas, who reprises his role as Angel Batista, teased that the final two episodes are particularly powerful.
“I think people are going to be very pleasantly surprised by the dynamics and the power of the last couple of episodes,” he shared. Speaking not just as a cast member but also as a fan of the franchise, Zayas said he’s genuinely looking forward to watching the finale himself. That kind of enthusiasm from a Dexter veteran only adds to the mounting excitement.
Dexter: Resurrection Has Just Started
Michael C. Hall hinted that the creative team has broader ambitions. “I have a sense of the very, very, very broad strokes in terms of what the future might hold,” he said. While nothing is confirmed, it’s clear that the show was not designed as a one-off.
Zayas was more guarded in his response, smiling as he said, “I don’t know. I’m not privy to that information.” Still, his demeanor suggests there's more to the story than he's letting on — and that a second season might not be entirely out of the question.
Final Thoughts
With the first two episodes already igniting major fan theories, Dexter: Resurrection seems poised to deliver not just a thrilling season finale — but the groundwork for future seasons. If Michael C. Hall’s words are any indication, the ending of Season 1 won’t be a goodbye... just the beginning of something even darker.
