Winter Warmer Watchlist - Dexter: Resurrection - Season One

Dexter: Resurrection is a sequel series to Dexter: New Blood and Dexter. It's different to the prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin, which effectively has now been cancelled.

Last month, a writer's room for the second season was in preparing for pre-production, despite no official renewal by that point. Which in turn meant no more Original Sin. Sad face, cause I liked season one.

Creator, Clyde Phillips has stated Resurrection is designed to have multiple seasons. However no second season is formally announced, I feel like we will get one in 2026 on Paramount+ with Showtime. Or in Australia, simply Paramount+.

Starring OG Dexter, Michael C. Hall, alongside Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, David Zayas, Ntare Mwine, Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusa, Emilia Suárez, James Remar, and Peter Dinklage. 

So how does it resolve, that last scene in New Blood?

Ten weeks after Dexter: New Blood, Dexter Morgan, who has recovered from his near-fatal gunshot wound, traces a missing Harrison to New York City, as Captain Angel Batista from Miami is hot on their trail.

With the walls caving in on everyone's favourite serial killer, Dexter is trapped in the vault, Dexter hallucinates Brian Moser taunting him. 

A phone call from Quinn enables Dexter to find Batista's cell phone and call Harrison for help. Taking a job as a waiter at the gala, Harrison sneaks in, but is caught by Charley. 

Searching through the vault for clues, Dexter finds Prater's serial killer files and a dossier on Charley which he is able to use to blackmail her. Furious at Prater's breach of trust, Charley quits and leaves New York with her mother. 

Dexter deduces that the vault code is the inmate number of the man who killed Prater's parents for Harrison. However, Prater captures Harrison and tries to kill him and Dexter. 

Having been given M99 by Dexter for protection, Harrison knocks Prater out and Dexter kills him. 

Dexter recovers his blood slides before triggering the vault's alarm as he escapes and the NYPD finds Batista's body, the murder weapon with Prater's fingerprints, and the Ripper's file, revealing his real name to be Don Framt. 

Dexter dumps Prater's body into New York Harbor and takes his files and yacht to hunt more targets, accepting that he will never have a normal life, but Dexter's connections to Blessing and Harrison will help him to be more human.

This was a solid sequel series. Much better in many ways from New Blood, however I really did enjoy Original Sin. So I will be sad not to get a second season.

I am very happy to say, long running Showtime series, The Chi has recently had its latest season land on Disney+. So hopefully I will get onto that real soon. Other than that, Showtime really only have another season of The Agency on the way. Their programming currently is pretty light on.

Until next time. Enjoy the first weekend of Spring.
