We're officially three episodes into Dexter: Resurrection, and according to the general fan consensus so far, it’s safe to say the series just keeps getting better with each new installment.
The most recent episode, which became available on Paramount+ Premium just hours ago, has left fans buzzing — not only for its shocking developments and deeply nostalgic cameos but also for marking a major return to form: Dexter Morgan’s first kill in this thrilling new chapter.
But the excitement doesn't end there.
In a surprising move, Showtime has released the official synopsis for next week’s episode, titled “Call Me Red.” Now that we’ve all experienced Episode 3, “Backseat Driver,” the meaning behind the next episode’s title becomes strikingly clear. Dexter will now begin impersonating Ronald Schmidt, a twist that promises not only to help him infiltrate the chilling serial killer gathering hosted by Leon Prater (played by Peter Dinklage) but also offers a financial boost — courtesy of the stash Charley left behind in Schmidt’s apartment during the series premiere, along with the invitation.
When Will Dexter: Resurrection Episode 4 Be Released?
Episode 4, “Call Me Red,” is set to premiere Friday, July 25, exclusively on Paramount+ Premium. And fans won’t want to miss it — this episode is expected to introduce every major A-list guest star that was previously announced. That includes Neil Patrick Harris, Krysten Ritter, Eric Stonestreet, David Dastmalchian, and of course, Peter Dinklage, who officially makes his debut as Leon Prater.
