Is Dexter: Resurrection getting a Season 2? Everything we know so far.
Dexter: Resurrection has officially wrapped up its first season, with Paramount+ airing the tenth and final episode — closing the chapter on what has been one of the most talked-about TV returns of the year.
The ambitious continuation of Showtime’s iconic series debuted on July 11, 2025, and quickly won over both longtime fans and new viewers. From powerful performances to sharp writing and impressive production value, the show reminded audiences why Dexter remains one of television’s most enduring crime dramas.
While only ratings from the first two episodes are publicly available, the numbers already confirm that Resurrection drew a larger audience than Dexter: Original Sin, the prequel series that was recently canceled. This isn’t necessarily a reflection of Original Sin’s quality, but rather proof that audiences are more invested in the continuation of Dexter’s main storyline.
With Michael C. Hall returning as Dexter Morgan, and Jack Alcott reprising his role as Harrison, Resurrection naturally carried more momentum than the prequel, which explored Dexter’s teenage years.
Will Dexter: Resurrection Get a Season 2?
This is the million-dollar question on every fan’s mind. After the surprising decision in late August by Paramount+ leadership to cancel Dexter: Original Sin, some worry that Resurrection could face the same fate.
However, signs point in the opposite direction. Unlike the prequel, Dexter: Resurrection continues the flagship storyline of Showtime’s most successful series since 2006. Paramount+ has every reason to keep it alive — both for critical reception and strong viewership numbers.
Why Hasn’t Paramount+ Announced a Renewal Yet?
The lack of an official renewal announcement has left some fans uneasy. But history shows this may simply be a matter of timing. Following the Paramount–Skydance merger, internal shakeups have delayed many programming decisions.
Industry insiders believe a renewal for Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 is imminent — and likely won’t face the long delays that plagued announcements under Paramount’s previous leadership.
Big Plans Ahead for Dexter: Resurrection
Executive producer and longtime Dexter writer Scott Reynolds also confirmed that the creative team envisions multiple seasons. He added that the ultimate “endgame” will only come when Michael C. Hall decides he’s ready to step away from the role of Dexter Morgan.
When Could Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 Premiere?
The premiere date depends entirely on when production begins. If Season 2 starts filming in January 2026 (mirroring Season 1’s schedule), then fans can expect a summer 2026 release.
However, if cameras start rolling later in 2025, a spring 2026 premiere becomes more likely. Either way, fans won’t have to wait too long for Dexter’s next chapter.
Is There a Trailer for Dexter: Resurrection Season 2?
Not yet. Since the show hasn’t been officially renewed, there’s currently no teaser or trailer. Expect one to drop a few months after renewal and once filming is underway.
Expected Cast for Dexter: Resurrection Season 2
