Dexter: Resurrection – Michael C Hall returns in new season, complete cast, plot & release date revealed
The Dark Passenger is back – and this time, Dexter's heading to New York with a mission that's personal, dangerous, and deliciously twisted. Dexter Morgan isn't done yet. Just when we thought New Blood closed the coffin for good, Dexter: Resurrection tears it right open. Michael C Hall returns in what Showtime is calling the most 'unpredictable chapter' in the iconic serial killer saga. The Dexter Resurrection release date has finally been confirmed as Friday, 11th July 2025, with a double-episode premiere on Paramount+, followed by a weekly release. And yes—this time, Dexter's not hiding in a snowy town. He's alive, dangerous, and loose in New York City. Dexter: Resurrection is made by Showtime but will stream on Paramount+. This is a smart move to grow the show's reach. It uses Paramount+'s large streaming audience. At the same time, it keeps Showtime's name and identity strong. This plan helps bring more fans to the Dexter franchise. 10 Biggest Reveals from the Dexter: Resurrection Trailer – Everything We Learned #Dexter What is Dexter: Resurrection about? After surviving that gunshot from his own son Harrison at the end of New Blood, Dexter wakes up in a hospital—alive, confused, and very much alone. His son has vanished, and his past is catching up fast. Desperate to find Harrison, Dexter lands in NYC where he crosses paths with Leon Prater, a billionaire with a disturbing obsession with serial killers. Played by none other than Peter Dinklage, this twisted new villain isn't just rich—he's dark, curious, and deadly. Prater's inviting the most dangerous killers for a little... get-together. Dexter's just one of the guests. 10 Biggest Reveals from the Dexter: Resurrection Trailer – Everything We Learned #Dexter As Michael C Hall told Vanity Fair, this series is more than just a comeback—it's a reset button. 'The ending of New Blood didn't sit right. This time, we're doing it properly.' Watch the Dexter: Resurrection Trailer The newly released Dexter Resurrection trailer delivers exactly what fans have been craving—tense music, shadowy alleys, blood spatter, and that classic Dexter monologue. We get glimpses of Harrison, possibly even darker than before, and a loaded stare-down between Dexter and Batista. The city's big, but it won't hide Dexter for long. Who's in the Dexter: Resurrection cast? The Dexter Resurrection cast is star-studded and absolutely killer: Michael C Hall as Dexter Morgan (back in full psychopathic glory) Jack Alcott as Harrison Morgan (still haunted, still dangerous) Peter Dinklage as Leon Prater (the chilling new billionaire villain) Uma Thurman as Charley (a former Special Ops officer, now head of Prater's security) David Zayas as Angel Batista (finally back in a bigger role) James Remar as Harry Morgan (Dexter's moral compass—sort of) Krysten Ritter as Lady Vengeance (a serial killer disguised as a seductive sommelier) John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer (yes, he's back from the dead—kind of) Jimmy Smits as ADA Miguel Prado (returning for a brief but powerful cameo) Eric Stonestreet, David Dastmalchian, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, and more in mystery roles One heartbreaking update though—Jennifer Carpenter (Debra Morgan) won't return this time. She told People she's proud of what she did in New Blood and has now moved on. Dexter: Resurrection Behind the Scenes Filming began in January 2025, and the Dexter Resurrection release date just six months later shows how tightly this was executed. Michael C Hall shared a video from day one on set, saying: 'I'm on set. It's happening. Get ready to take another thrill ride with us.' Showrunner Clyde Phillips also confirmed that the show is structured to allow new viewers to jump in, calling it 'fresh' and 'fully formed.' But for the loyal fans—expect plenty of callbacks and hidden treats. What's Next for Dexter Morgan? If all goes well, this won't be a one-off. Phillips said the plan is to continue the story beyond this season, and Hall is fully on board. In his words: 'This isn't a final goodbye. This is just the beginning of something bigger.' The 'Dexter: Resurrection' set is busy. Peter Dinklage and Michael C. Hall were spotted working together on a scene. The Dexter universe is expanding. Original Sin, the prequel series, has already laid the foundation. Now Resurrection is picking up that baton—and sprinting into something far more ambitious. Dexter: Resurrection - Masala Moments to Watch For A showdown between Dexter and Batista—the one we've waited years for Peter Dinklage channeling pure chaos as a villain richer than God and just as arrogant Dexter and Harrison's twisted father-son reunion—can they bond... without killing anyone? Krysten Ritter's deadly alter ego may give Dexter a run for his money

Everything you need to know about Shortland Street's new season
As Shortland Street's mysterious new 'Back in Black' season starts tonight, Tara Ward explains exactly what's going on in Ferndale. What's all this then? Back in Black is the name of Shortland Street's new mini-season, which begins tonight. In 2025, the long-running soap is dividing the year into four 'mini-seasons', each focussing on one or two particular storylines that involve the show's core characters, and each climaxing with a one hour special. So we've already had a mini-season? Yes. Shortland Street kicked 2025 off with 'New Blood', which introduced several new characters to Ferndale and signalled a shift in the show's direction. Shortland Street returned as a fast-paced medical drama, with nearly every scene set in the hospital. Over the last few weeks, characters have dared to venture outside the hospital again with a few scenes set in houses and the local bar, but the drama continues to focus on one or two self-contained medical storylines each week. Last week, viewers watched the New Blood one-hour finale episode, where a storm forced several medical staff out of their comfort zones to save lives, loves, and probably the world. So what else has been happening in Ferndale? The year began with hospital staff grieving the death of Dr Harper Whitely and processing their shock at nurse Nicole being imprisoned for murder. New medical staff Poppy, Cleo and Mana struggled to cope with the pressures of dealing with an endless stream of dying people, as well as putting up with their grumpy colleagues. Most recently, we waved goodbye to nurse Madonna, who moved to the Philippines with her baby daddy Thaddeus. And what's the vibe so far? Now that it's on three nights a week, Shortland Street has stepped up the pace and intensity and a soundtrack of up and coming New Zealand artists has provided a more contemporary feel. The show has never looked better, but as we wrote in March, the focus on medical cases has made Shortland Street feel both slick and bleak. The show looks glossy and modern, but the characters are perpetually stressed and miserable, which makes for a heavier viewing experience than traditional Shortland Street fans might be used to. What do we know about the new mini-season Back in Black? 'Back in Black' might refer to the big storm that ended the last mini-season, where the hospital was put into an emergency 'code black' status. There's also an impressive and slightly terrifying image going around of the surgeons all wearing black, which suggests this season will focus on the surgical expertise (or lack of) of the doctors. Or maybe the black refers to mourning? Perhaps some more All Blacks are going to turn up in Ferndale (it's happened before)? Or maybe Shortland Street is referring to dead receptionist Leanne, whose last name was Black when she first arrived in Ferndale? Is Ghost Leanne about to bless us with her ethereal presence once again?! But seriously, what's going to happen? Gird your loins and grab your tissues, because it sounds like the new mini-season will be just as intense as the first. Shortland Street revealed to The Spinoff that Poppy, Cleo, and Mana will 'grapple with the harsh realities of life at Shortland Street: the failings, the heartbreak, and the relentless death.' Fun! But amid all that misery, it seems Shortland Street staff are going to find….their family? 'As the rest of the staff wrestle with their grief, their fragile bonds start to fracture, and relationships are pushed to their breaking points,' they added. 'In the chaos, our team will learn that their true family isn't always the one they're born into – sometimes it's the one they choose. Sometimes it's the only one they have.'

'Dexter: Original Sin' to return for Season 2
April 1 (UPI) -- Paramount+ is renewing Dexter: Original Sin for Season 2, various media outlets reported Tuesday. The Dexter prequel series stars Patrick Gibson as a younger version of serial killer Dexter, who is portrayed by Michael C. Hall in the original series that first aired on Showtime in 2006. Christian Slater portrays Dexter's father, who offers guidance regarding who Dexter should kill while evading detection by police. "It's also just so fun because this season is a period piece, within a period piece," Clyde Phillips, showrunner for Season 1 and the upcoming Season 2, previously told The Hollywood Reporter. "We have all this great imagery we get to use from the '90s, but also from the '70s, with Harry's story. We get to lay in all these wonderful wall phones, the first car phone, whatever it is. We're having so much fun watching people watch out for all of that." Hall narrated the premiere season, which included cast members Molly Brown, Christina Milian, James Martinez, Alex Shimizu, Reno Wilson, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Patrick Dempsey. The news arrives as another franchise spinoff, Dexter: Resurrection, a sequel to New Blood, is in the works.
