H2: Paramount+ renews Dexter: Resurrection for Season 2
Paramount+ has officially renewed the crime drama Dexter: Resurrection for Season 2. The pickup continues the story of Dexter Morgan after the events that closed out Season 1 in September 2025.
H2: Michael C. Hall teases continuation (YouTube)
Series star Michael C. Hall posted a brief video announcement on YouTube confirming the renewal and telling fans that “details will be forthcoming.” Watch the announcement here: https://youtu.be/HBxskw_agZg
Hall, who also serves as a showrunner on the series, kept the message deliberately short but signaled that the creative team is already planning what comes next for Dexter and his complicated relationship with his son, Harrison.
H3: Creative team and returning cast
Showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips will return for Season 2, giving the series continuity behind the scenes. Season 1 reunited Hall’s Dexter with several high-profile co-stars, including Jack Alcott as Harrison, plus appearances from Peter Dinklage, Uma Thurman, Krysten Ritter, David Dastmalchian and Neil Patrick Harris. Veteran Dexter actor David Zayas also reprised his role as Miami PD officer Angel Batista, and Desmond Harrington returned as Lieutenant Quinn.
While Paramount+ has not confirmed every returning cast member, the presence of Phillips and Hall suggests the show will pursue the same tone and narrative ambition as the first season.
H3: Where the story goes next
Season 1 left Dexter in a precarious position after surviving a gunshot wound and traveling to New York, where Harrison is living and continuing his own violent path. Early statements from the creative team indicate Season 2 will further explore the father-son dynamic and the consequences of Dexter’s actions in a new setting.
H2: What else changed at Paramount+
The renewal comes amid other franchise developments at Paramount+. The streamer has decided not to move forward with a second season of the prequel Dexter: Original Sin, even though it had previously planned another season. That cancellation narrows Paramount+’s focus to the Resurrection storyline as its primary continuation of the Dexter universe.
H3: What fans should expect next
Paramount+ has not announced a production timeline or release window for Season 2. Fans should expect official casting and episode details in coming months, and Michael C. Hall’s YouTube announcement indicates the series will share updates as they’re ready.
