The new season of Dexter: Resurrection is just a few weeks away, and Paramount+ recently revealed some new promotional photos from Season 2 through an exclusive with Entertainment Weekly. The new stills feature different moments from upcoming episodes and focus on Dexter Morgan, Mia Lapierre, as well as two new characters, Ray Ballard, played by Gabriel Luna, and Lucas Stark, played by Dan Stevens.
While the images offered a glimpse at moments from the new season, they were initially released without any additional information about which episodes each promotional still came from. That, however, is now about to change, as we at Dexter Daily have received new information regarding the episode numbers.
Without further ado, let's take a closer look at which episodes the four images featured above are from. Beware of spoilers.
Still #1: Dexter Morgan at the Optometrist
The image featuring Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan trying on a pair of presbyopia glasses and checking himself out in the mirror can actually be seen in the top-left corner of the main article image.
Based on the information we received, this promotional still is from Episode 3 of Season 2.
Still #2: Dexter and Lady Vengeance in Dexter's Basement Apartment
Among the new promotional stills is one that confirms Mia Lapierre's return in perhaps the clearest way possible. In the image, Dexter and Mia are seen sitting next to each other inside his basement apartment.
A wider look at the official images reveals an especially interesting detail. Dexter is not showing Mia just one blood slide. On the table, there appear to be two sets of blood slide boxes. One is the OG set that belonged to Dexter but was stolen by Doakes in 2007 and later recovered by Dexter from Prater's vault. The other is the new set he acquired during the first season of Dexter: Resurrection.
The still, which can be seen in the top-right corner of the main article image, comes from Episode 5 of Season 2.
Still #3: Dexter and the Sleepy-Eyed Strangler
Another interior shot, shown in the bottom-left corner of the main image, introduces us to a brand-new character played by Gabriel Luna in a guest-starring role.
The character is Ray Ballard, the serial killer known as the Sleepy-Eyed Strangler, whose name was actually included among Leon Prater's files.
According to the information we received, this image is also from Episode 3 of Season 2.
Still #4: The Five Borough Killer in the New York Subway
Last but not least, we have the promotional photo with the first official look at Dan Stevens as Lucas Stark, the serial killer known as the Five Borough Killer.
Stark is set to play a major role in the new season and is expected to be one of the main threats alongside the New York Ripper. In the image (bottom right corner), Stark can be seen inside a New York subway station, staring directly at the camera.
Based on the information we received, this still is from Episode 3 of Season 2, making it the third image from that episode among the four newly identified promotional stills.
What These Episode Details Tell Us About Season 2
So, there we have it. Now that we know which episodes these promotional images come from, we actually have a better idea of when some of these scenes will appear in Dexter: Resurrection Season 2.
Three of the four stills featured above are from Episode 3, while the image of Dexter and Mia comes from Episode 5. With the Season 2 premiere getting closer, these details could be enough to give a better idea of what to expect as the story starts to unfold.
