It’s definitely an announcement that no one expected at last weekend’s San Diego Comic Con. Not only will Dexter Morgan continue his “adventures” in the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin, but the sequel will see the return of Michael C. Hall! Obviously, this Dexter is indestructible…
What is this Dexter sequel?
Yes, Showtime revealed during San Diego Comic-Con that Dexter: Resurrection — another variation on the Dexter universe — will see the return of Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan.
This sequel, which follows Dexter: New Blood (which follows Dexter), will take place in the present. During this announcement, Michael C. Hall was accompanied by Clyde Phillips, executive producer and historic showrunner for all series. Chris McCarthy, CEO of Paramount Global, announced this The Hollywood Reporter :”We are delighted that the brilliant Michael S. Hall will reprise his role as Dexter Morgan on Showtime’s hit series.”
Dexter: Resurrection should – in theory – appeal to longtime fans and attract a new generation of viewers with a prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin, set in the ’90s and starring Patrick Gibson as a young Dexter.
How can Dexter Morgan come back?
The question on fans’ lips is how Dexter might return after his apparent death in Dexter: New Blood. Michael S. Holly tried to answer that question. Notes are reported variety :”Was he really dead? I don’t know what I’m allowed to say except that it’s very cold there.“
Although Clyde Phillips testified at the time that “Dexter is deadSo Holly leaves no doubt. Dexter: Resurrection is set to pick up right where Dexter: New Blood left off, suggesting that Dexter’s death may not be final. Michael S. Hall also said that the series may span multiple seasons, unlike Dexter: New. Blood, which was a mini-series.
The announcement fuels speculation about the possible return of other iconic characters from the original series. Michael S. Hall added:There is some magical element to this world, so I would never turn down a proposal.“
In the meantime, fans can rewatch Dexter and Dexter: New Blood available on Paramount+ until Dexter: Resurrection’s scheduled release in summer 2025.
