"I hate trophies," Harry says to Dexter in this clip from "Backseat Driver".
Episode 3 of Dexter: Resurrection is just hours away from premiering exclusively on Paramount+ Premium, and to build anticipation, Showtime has released a brand-new sneak peek clip teasing what fans can expect from the next chapter in Dexter Morgan's return.
Running for just over 90 seconds, the preview gives us a thrilling glimpse at Dexter tracking his first potential victim of the new season — none other than Ronald Schmidt. This moment carries extra weight, as it marks Dexter’s first official step back into his old habits following the life-altering events of the 2022 finale, where he narrowly survived a deadly confrontation with his son, Harrison, that left him in a 10-week coma.
In the clip, we see Dexter breaking into Ronald’s New York City apartment. As he searches the space, he quickly uncovers Ronald’s hidden stash of trophies — the IDs of UrCar drivers he murdered. As fans learned in Episode 1, this hiding spot is far from secure. Dexter becomes the second person, after Charley, to discover the trophies in a very short time, further confirming Ronald’s vulnerability.
Dexter isn’t alone in this scene. He’s accompanied by his ever-present inner voice — Harry, his moral compass. When Dexter finds the trophies, Harry remarks with disdain, “I hate trophies,” echoing the code they once followed.
In a rare, introspective moment, Dexter sits in Ronald’s gaming chair and lets his mind drift. He reflects on his old life back in Miami — a time when he had his own apartment, a steady routine, and a semblance of control. It’s a nostalgic beat that reveals a more human side of Dexter — one that longs, even briefly, for the familiar quiet of the past, despite the chaos that often came with it. It’s a reminder that underneath the code and darkness, Dexter is still deeply human — just like the rest of us.
Titled "Backseat Driver," Episode 3 promises to deliver a gripping mix of suspense, psychological depth, and the dark thrills fans crave — with what could be Dexter's first kill of the season just around the corner.
Watch the sneak peek clip below and get ready for what’s shaping up to be another unforgettable chapter in Dexter’s resurrection.
