'Dexter: Resurrection' Trailer Turns Heads With Beloved Character's Return
Dexter is everyone's favorite televised vigilante serial killer, the blood spatter expert who tried to control his dark passenger by killing people he thought deserved it, namely other killers.
Fans last saw Dexter Morgan in the television series Dexter: Original Sin, which was a prequel, and Dexter: New Blood, which appeared to show the titular character's death, but he's clearly recovered from his wounds.
The original Dexter ran from 2006 through 2013 on Showtime.
In the new revival series Dexter: Resurrection, the character is back, and details have been released about the new series' villains, episodes, and plot details.
But it's the official trailer many fans were waiting for. That wait is now over.
The full, official trailer was released on the evening of May 31 via the show's X page. It is 1 minute 47 seconds long. "Only in New York," it starts. "Someone once told me, you have to go through hell to achieve resurrection."
Additional clues emerged in photos published of the shoot in New York City by Getty Images. A May 30 teaser trailer was released the day before the official trailer; it is one of a series of short teaser trailers that were posted by Paramount+, providing a pretty clear sense of where the revival is headed.
"I'm in the busiest city in the world for God's sake, but I have the urge. The urge to kill again. I can't quit. There's killers out here, and I have to stop them," Dexter says in the latest teaser trailer, which was released on May 30. He reveals that people, including Harrison and Quinn, are looking for him.
The first two episodes of the new show are available July 11 on Paramount+.
In another teaser trailer, on May 1, Dexter awakens to see his brother in his hospital room.
"Laying here in this hospital bed, I've had time to think,"' he says. "But the last thing I expected to see when I opened my eyes was my brother."
On May 3, another teaser trailer showed Dexter being interrogated by police. "Do you know why you are here, Dexter Morgan?" a police officer asks. "I want you to start explaining everything to me. Why you ended up in the cold woods with a gunshot wound? Why the h*** you killed that poor police officer, and why the h*** I shouldn't put you in that jail cell right now."
On May 18, a teaser trailer revealed that Dexter had a meeting with a female serial killer named "Lady Vengeance." The trailer also shows Lumen Piere reappearing in Dexter's world.
"In this chilling revival trailer, Dexter Morgan has traded the solitude of Iron Lake for the cold anonymity of New York City, laying low under a new identity. But when a string of brutal murders mirrors the exact signature of his past — precise, ritualistic, and personal — Dexter realizes he's not the only one who's back. Enter Lumen Pierce," Paramount+ wrote..
The first teaser trailer was released on April 25.
In it, Dexter said that his son, Harrison, found a new family and a second chance. "Whatever it takes to get to him," he says, making it clear that the new show will focus on the father/son dynamic, at least to some degree.
According to Game Rant, the new season will feature Uma Thurman and Peter Dinklage "as likely adversaries" while Dexter is also pursued by Angel Batista, his former co-worker and friend from Miami.
The episode titles, released by Game Rant, include hints about the storyline, with one, "Beating Heart" likely referring to Dexter still being alive, and another, "Touched by an Angel" a possible reference to Batista.
The Dexter: Resurrection villains include well-known Hollywood stars playing serial killers who square off against Dexter.
According to USA Today, Neil Patrick Harris plays 'The Tattoo Collector," Eric Stonestreet is "Rapunzel," Krysten Ritter plays "Lady Vengeance," and David Dastmalchian is "The Gemini Killer."
The serial killers gather for a "MurderCon style meetup," USA Today revealed. Dexter goes to New York to track down his son, Harrison, according to USA Today.'Dexter: Resurrection' Trailer Turns Heads With Beloved Character's Return first appeared on Men's Journal on May 31, 2025

Peyton Manning joins Denver NWSL's ownership group, joining Mikaela Shiffrin, Mellody Hobson, Molly Coors
Former Denver Bronco quarterback and NFL Hall of Famer Peyton Manning has joined the ownership group of Denver NWSL, the still unnamed professional women's soccer team set to start playing next year, Manning and the team announced on Tuesday. He joined a group led by controlling owner Rob Cohen, which includes investors such as Jon-Erik Borgen, Kaia Borgen Moritz, Neelima Joshi, Dhiren Jhaveri, Mellody Hobson, Molly Coors, and Mikaela Shiffrin. Together, they aim to build the most inclusive and community-rooted club in professional soccer. "It's a real honor to be part of something so meaningful to the Colorado community," Manning said in the announcement. "I'm proud to support the growth of women's sports and excited to help build a club that our city and our state can rally behind." In January, the National Women's Soccer League officially announced that Denver would be getting the league's next team and in March, the league announced that a new 12,000-seat stadium would be built for the team. This will be the league's 16th team and they will start playing in 2026. "Peyton's legacy as a champion and a leader is second to none," Cohen said. "His impact on Colorado sports is unmatched, and we're incredibly proud to have him as a partner. He brings passion, insight, and deep local roots - all of which will help us shape the future of Denver NWSL." The soccer team, which doesn't yet have a name or any players, is Colorado's first professional women's soccer team. As the community, the team, and the league prepare for next season, the city of Centennial could be home to a new women's soccer training facility.

COVID-related agreement continues to shield some on Georgia's death row from execution
ATLANTA (AP) — The fact that the COVID-19 vaccine is not available for newborn babies is shielding a group of prisoners on Georgia's death row from execution. Executions in Georgia were halted during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the state attorney general's office entered into an agreement with lawyers for people on death row to set the terms under which they could resume for a specific group of prisoners. At least one of those conditions, having to do with the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine, has not been met, and seeking an execution date for a prisoner covered by the agreement would breach the agreement, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram ruled. The agreement includes three conditions that had to be met before executions could be set for the affected prisoners: the expiration of the state's COVID-19 judicial emergency, the resumption of normal visitation at state prisons and the availability of a COVID-19 vaccine 'to all members of the public.' Once those conditions were met, the state agreed to give three months' notice before pursuing an execution warrant for one of the prisoners covered by the agreement and six months' notice for the rest. The state has argued that the agreement should no longer apply, contending the conditions have been met. But defense attorneys say it's still valid because the vaccine isn't yet available to infants under 6 months old, and visitation at state prisons has not returned to normal. Ingram's ruling, issued Friday, addressed only the vaccination question. She plans to handle the visitation issue separately. Ingram wrote that the state's arguments 'all boil down to an attempt to rewrite the Agreement.' The state is '(u)nhappy with the language it drafted' and wants to change it so that the condition would be satisfied once vaccines are available to 'most members of the public.' 'But courts cannot rewrite contracts to relieve a party of their regrets,' she wrote. She ruled that the agreement is 'binding and enforceable,' that the vaccination condition hasn't been met and that seeking an execution warrant before the requirements have been met would breach the agreement. The state attorney general's office plans to appeal, a spokesperson said Tuesday. Ingram noted that the Food and Drug Administration has approved clinical trials for infants under 6 months old, and newborns receive other vaccines. That shows it is possible for the COVID-19 vaccine to ultimately be available for that age group, and the state should have foreseen that that could take years, she wrote. Experts for both sides had testified that it was probable that the COVID-19 vaccine would eventually become available to babies under the age of 6 months, Ingram wrote. That was before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was appointed U.S. health secretary. Kennedy last week announced that COVID-19 vaccines are no longer recommended for healthy children and pregnant women. A few days later, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website, which had said those groups should get the shots, was revised to say the vaccinations 'may' be given to those groups. The agreement covers fewer than 10 of the 34 people currently on Georgia's death row. While Georgia stopped carrying out executions during the pandemic, death penalty cases continued to wind their way through the court system, and as people exhausted their appeals, they became eligible for execution. A committee of a judicial task force on COVID-19 in early 2021 instructed lawyers for people on death row and the state attorney general's office to come up with terms under which executions could safely resume. The two sides reached the agreement in April 2021. The agreement only applied to people on death row whose requests to have their appeals reheard were denied by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals while the judicial emergency was in place. The agreement was to remain in effect through Aug. 1, 2022, or one year from the date on which the conditions were met — whichever was later. The legal fight arose from a lawsuit filed when officials set a May 2022 execution date for Virgil Delano Presnell Jr. The Federal Defender Program, which represents Presnell, said the state had violated the agreement because the conditions hadn't all been met. Based on that argument, a Fulton County Superior Court judge halted the execution less than 24 hours before it was to take place, and the Georgia Supreme Court ruled in December 2022 that the agreement was a binding contract. People on death row who are not covered by the agreement have since become eligible for execution. One of them, Willie James Pye, was put to death in March 2024.
