Warning: Spoilers ahead for Dexter: Resurrection!
Is Dexter: Resurrection about to be resurrected?
The latest show in the Dexter franchise premiered in July 2025 on Paramount+ and it took the action to New York City, with Michael C. Hall reprising his role as Dexter Morgan from the Showtime original.
In Dexter: Resurrection, the vengeful serial killer found himself interacting with a whole new cast of evil characters played by guest stars Peter Dinklage, Uma Thurman, Neil Patrick Harris and Eric Stonestreet, among others.
"Like, Al Pacino and the mafia. It just keeps pulling me back in," Hall told Deadline in July 2025, about returning. "When we finished the series proper and Dexter put himself into self-imposed exile, I knew we may well be revisiting him at some point to find out what the hell happened to him."
The season 1 finale, which aired Sept. 5, showed Dexter surviving his standoff with Leon Prater (Dinklage), and sailing off into the night. Still, it left viewers with unanswered questions, like whether the elusive New York Ripper might appear as an antagonist in a future season.
So, will there be a season 2 of Dexter: Resurrection? Here's what to know about the future of the Paramount+ series and whether Hall plans to return.
Will there be a season 2 of Dexter: Resurrection?

'Dexter: Resurrection'
Dexter: Resurrection has not been officially renewed, but in August 2025, Variety reported that Paramount planned on opening a writers 'room for a potential season 2.
On the Sept. 16 episode of the Dissecting Dexter podcast, series showrunner Clyde Phillips also confirmed the writers were preparing to work on more episodes.
"The writing room opens Oct. 6, and we will write through the holidays into early spring," he said. "And then start what we call 'soft prep,' meaning start planning the stages, and the sets ... locations, and then begin the casting process and take it from there."
Will Michael C. Hall return for Dexter: Resurrection season 2?

Hall returned to play Dexter Morgan on Dexter: Resurrection, and while it hasn't been confirmed that he will be back for a second season, the actor has expressed his desire to continue the character's killing spree.
In an April 2025 Vanity Fair interview, Phillips said, "We plan to do this for years." Hall added to that statement, saying, "The thinking is not to come back for a sort of self-contained one-off again, but leave it open to further exploration."
"The intention, and hope, is that the story will continue beyond this," he explained. "He's [Dexter] a much more human, flesh-and-blood version of that horror trope of someone who just refuses to go down."
Does Dexter: Resurrection season 2 have a release date?

Dexter: Resurrection has not yet been officially renewed for season 2, so it has no release date. However, Phillips dropped some details during his appearance on the Dissecting Dexter podcast.
"We'll be shooting next summer, it won't be airing next summer," the showrunner said when discussing the upcoming season 2 production schedule.
So, if the series returns, it sounds like fans might have to wait a while before reuniting with their favorite serial killer.

The prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin, starring Patrick Gibson as a young Dexter, aired from December 2024 to February 2025.
In April 2025, Variety reported that the series had scored a season 2 renewal. But in a twist, in August 2025, it was announced that Paramount would not be moving forward with another installment after all.
Dexter: New Blood was a limited series with 10 episodes that aired from November 2021 to January 2022. Hall returned to play Dexter in New Blood, and despite being shot in the finale, he returned to kill again in Dexter: Resurrection.
