Paramount+ has renewed Dexter: Resurrection — and the show’s star made a special announcement to share the news.
A little over a month after Dexter: Resurrection wrapped up its thrilling Season 1 run, Paramount+ has officially confirmed what fans have been eagerly waiting for: the series is returning for Season 2. And what better way to share the news than through the man himself, Michael C. Hall?
Just like back in January 2025, when Hall personally announced the start of filming for Dexter: Resurrection, the Emmy-nominated actor once again took to video to break the big news. The difference this time? Instead of being on set, Hall recorded the message straight from his New York City apartment, casually lying on his couch.
The 40-second clip begins with Hall greeting fans in his trademark calm tone:
“Hey, what’s up? It’s Michael C. Hall here. First of all, I just want to thank all the fans for tuning in and taking the Dexter: Resurrection ride with us this summer. Hope you enjoyed it.”
Then came the moment everyone was waiting for. With a smirk, Hall added:
“And secondly, we’ve been greenlit for another season. There’s more to come. The writer’s room is assembling now and details will be forthcoming, but I wanted to be the first to let you know that the story continues.”
Within minutes of the video being posted on Dexter’s official social media channels, fans flooded the comments with excitement and praise. Having Hall himself deliver the announcement proved to be the perfect move... again.
A Clever Nod to Dexter: Resurrection’s Premiere
Sharp-eyed fans quickly noticed a subtle but brilliant detail in the video’s opening shot: Hall begins with his eyes closed before suddenly opening them. While some outlets speculated it might’ve been an editing quirk, fans recognized it immediately, a direct callback to the first episode of Dexter: Resurrection.
In that memorable scene, Dexter opens his eyes in a coma while hallucinating past ghosts like Trinity, Miguel Prado, and Doakes. What some called “creepy,” was actually a clever Easter egg, a symbolic way to bring the story full circle.
Michael C. Hall’s Ongoing Connection With Fans
Even though Michael C. Hall doesn’t maintain personal social media accounts, he’s found his own way to stay connected with Dexter fans. This is the second time in 2025 that he’s personally delivered major franchise news.
It also mirrors another special moment: the Dexter: Resurrection Season 1 finale, when Dexter broke the fourth wall for the first time in the series, speaking directly to viewers through his narration. It’s a creative reminder of how deeply Hall values the long-standing relationship between Dexter and its devoted fanbase, now nearly two decades strong.
