Dexter: Resurrection Revival Premieres on Paramount+ with New York Setting

The new series "Dexter: Resurrection," continuing the story of serial killer Dexter Morgan, has premiered on Paramount+ with a strong cast including Michael C. Hall, Jack Alcott, Peter Dinklage, and Uma Thurman. Picking up weeks after Dexter was shot by his son Harrison, the show follows Dexter's pursuit to find Harrison in New York City while confronting his own dark past and the investigation by Miami Metro’s Angel Batista. The series has garnered mostly positive reviews, holding a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes, praised for its thrilling continuation and modern themes of true crime and surveillance paranoia. Michael C. Hall expressed gratitude for the ongoing fan enthusiasm and discussed how the revival explores Dexter’s identity and moral evolution. Notably, Dexter breaks his traditional code by intervening to save an innocent person, signaling a shift towards a more selfless character motivated by his renewed role as a father. Despite its initial success, "Dexter: Resurrection" has dropped to fifth place on Paramount+ charts, overtaken by series like "MobLand," but it remains a vital part of the franchise’s expansion with returning original cast members and new storylines.
