At the end of last week, Dexter (Michael C. Hall) seemed to wrap things up a little too neatly. He took Lady Vengeance (Krysten Ritter) off the board without drawing suspicion, seemingly clearing Harrison (Jack Alcott) in the process. But as we’ve learned, nothing is as easy as it seems.

As we turn to the home stretch on this season of Dexter: Resurrection, things go from safe to white hot in a hurry. This week’s episode, “Cats and Mouse,” sees Dexter dealing with issues on a couple of fronts. Let’s dive into the details. Spoilers Below.

Father-son bonding

If nothing else, Dexter’s work last week brought father-and-son closer. He and Harrison are in a better place. He’s more open to sharing and is now an advocate for Harrison living a safer, murder-free life. That’s a new kind of role for Dexter. As we begin,...

Now truly reunited, Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) and his son Harrison (Jack Alcott) can finally begin to rebuild their relationship. But Dexter’s decision to get fellow killer Mia (Krysten Ritter) arrested has drawn the unwanted attention of their secret society’s powerful and enigmatic host, Leon Prater (Peter Dinklage). Can Dexter satisfy his new, dangerous colleagues without sacrificing the humanity he has vowed to protect in his son? Find out on this week’s episode of Dexter: Resurrection.

The trailers and promos we've seen for It: Welcome to Derry so far have mostly kept Bill Skarsgård's returning Pennywise under wraps, but the demonic child-killing clown has now been unveiled via two Movie Maniacs McFarlane Toys action figures, and it seems HBO Max has taken an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach to the character design.

As you'll see from the photos below, the standard figure looks pretty much exactly like Pennywise from the It movies, although the "flashback" variant does have a brighter clown suit, and what appears to be an ill-fitting headpiece.

This could either signify that this younger Pennywise still hasn't quite grown into his costume, or that the figure comes with interchangeable parts.

We know that Pennywise is a shape-shifter, so there's a good chance he will take other forms in the series.

Both figures measure 6″ tall, and come with scenic printed backdrops and environmental base displays,...

Though the first four weeks of Dexter’s (Michael C. Hall) return, he’s been on his own mission while Harrison (Jack Alcott) has been trying to live his own life. But at the end of the last episode, as Harrison was ready to turn himself in, Dexter finally reached out. In this week’s episode, “Murder Horny,” we get a father-son reunion. Let’s dive into this week’s episode.

We pick up right where we left off, with Dexter placing a hand on Harrison’s shoulder. At first alarmed, not wanting to believe his father is alive, Harrison soon realizes it’s true. But it’s not exactly a happy reunion. Turns out that despite Dexter’s attempt at training, Harrison isn’t really into killing. His conscience has been aflame since he dispatched Ryan Foster, even if he did deserve it. He still has Ryan’s watch,...

Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) and son Harrison Morgan (Jack Alcott) are reunited at last. After having infiltrated a secret organization of serial killers, Dexter is now torn between his long-missed family life and his old habits. How will he balance both worlds? Let’s find out on this week’s episode of Dexter: Resurrection.

Fresh from her appearance at San Diego Comic Con, Krysten Ritter is opening up about her “major career moments” this year.

Ritter is currently starring as sommelier and serial killer Mia Lapierre, aka Lady Vengeance, in Showtime’s Dexter: Resurrection. On Thursday, she was part of a panel at Sdcc for the show, appearing alongside co-stars Michael C. Hall, David Zayas, James Remar, Jack Alcott, David Dastmalchian, and executive producers Clyde Phillips and Scott Reynolds. New episodes drop Friday nights on Paramount+ with Showtime.

She will also reprise the fan-favorite role of Jessica Jones in the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again for Season 2, which is currently in production. Ritter first played the character in the eponymous Netflix series, which ran for three seasons from 2015 to 2019.

AsStephen Kingfans gear up for the release of It: Welcome to Derry, the HBO prequel to It that'll arrive in October, many wonder whether the TV version will be able to capture the horror of the 2017 adaptation and its 2019 sequel. Though it's a change of medium, we're talking about HBO, a network that isn't exactly known for diluting stuff that might be deemed controversial. Show creator Barbara Muschietti understands this concern, and she's offered fans the reassurance they've been hoping for, vowing that It: Welcome to Derry will be as scary as the movies.

Per Screen Rant, the showrunner and producer appeared at the San Diego Comic-Con to talk about the upcoming show, where she was joined by her brother, co-producer and It director, Andy Muschietti, and they shared a few details about the series. At the event, the siblings revealed that It: Welcome to Derry will explore the origins of Pennywise the Clown,...

For those that can't get enough of Stephen Kingadaptations, fans of the author's work will witness the highly anticipated prequel to the It film adaptation very soon. It: Welcome to Derry premieres on HBO and HBO Max in October (no specific date has been announced yet), and to make horror fans more excited than they already are, the streamer has just released another teaser trailer. To be honest, this one looks very creepy.

The teaser was unveiled by HBO right as the show had its showcase at the San Diego Comic-Con, where series creators Andy and Barbara Muschietti talked about the production. They confirmed that the show will explore the origins of Pennywise, and how It (the entity) eventually took the form of the evil clown. The creative team also said that they're not planning to "solve" all the mysteries in the book.

The It: Welcome to Derry trailer provides...

Dexter: Resurrection Episode 4 saw the introduction of 4 new sinister serial killers. Episode 4, titled “Call Me Red”, aired on July 25, 2025, where Dexter (Michael C. Hall) infiltrates a dinner party. At the dinner, we are introduced to Krysten Ritter’s Mia or Lady Vengeance, Eric Stonestreet’s Al or Rapunzel, Neil Patrick Harris’ Lowell or the Tattoo Collector, and David Dastmalchian’s Gareth or the Gemini killer (via Vulture).

Lady Vengeance, as the name suggests, hunts down sexual predators; Rapunzel or the ponytail guy has an inclination toward picking victims with ponytails because of unresolved mommy issues; the Tattoo collector collects the tatted skins of his victims, and the Gemini Killer is a Zodiac analog, and by far the most serial killer-esque of the lot.

Dexter poses as “Red” and observes the elite gathering as he debates killing one of the killers. Here’s a recap of the bizarre dinner party hosted by the NYC billionaire,...

While new faces fill the trailer of Welcome to Derry with a sense of sewer-grate dread and cosmic wrongness, the HBO series teases the return of Bill Skarsgård‘s Pennywise the Dancing Clown in all his eerie smiling glory.

Despite being helmed by a new cast against a backdrop of events set squarely in 1962, the series trailer promises nothing less than the blood, gore, and terror that made the first two movies a billion-dollar, fan-favorite, global success.

Set to premiere in Fall 2025, It: Welcome to Derry is a prequel set within the familiar world of director Andy Muschietti‘s It and the town of Derry, Maine. The lore of the series will be deeply rooted in Stephen King‘s original novels, and take the audience on a journey to where, when, and how it all began.

Welcome to Derry Cast: Bill Skarsgård Goes Back to Where It All Began...

Following the success of the two It films directed by Andy Muschietti, it was clear to everyone that Warner Bros. Pictures would want to continue to tell stories set in the world created by Stephen King. Now, the next installment is almost here, and it's in the form of an HBO television series. Titled It – Welcome to Derry, the series is set to be a prequel exploring the origins of the evil entity and its relationship to the dark history of the town of Derry. The upcoming show had a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, where Andy and Barbra Muschietti teased that Welcome to Derry would answer some burning questions— and even create some new ones.

Andy Muschietti discussed how the creative team behind the series consulted Stephen King when it came to exploring the origins of Pennywise the clown, and the various forms the entity took while in Derry.

HBO has released the second official trailer for It: Welcome to Derry, offering a chilling preview of the upcoming nine-episode series based on Stephen King’s 1986 horror novel. Arriving on HBO Max this October, the prequel pulls audiences back into the cursed town of Derry, Maine, to explore the evil that lurked there long before the Losers’ Club faced off against Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

The teaser begins in 1962, as a new family settles into town, unaware of the dark force that quietly festers beneath the surface. Early glimpses hint at a population infected by paranoia and cruelty, as an unexplained evil appears to feed on Derry’s collective fears. While Bill Skarsgård’s return as Pennywise is only teased, his looming presence is unmistakable, with references to mysterious disappearances and unspoken horrors suggesting the beginning of a fresh cycle of terror.

It: Welcome to Derry expands the world...

HBO is getting ready to dive deeper into the world of Stephen King with its upcoming horror series It: Welcome to Derry. This show will serve as a prequel to the hit It movies and will tell the story of Pennywise before the events of the 2017 and 2019 films. It’s also bringing in a surprising and familiar face from another King classic.

At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, it was confirmed that Dick Hallorann, a beloved character from The Shining, will appear in the new series.

The announcement came straight from Andy and Barbara Muschietti during the Welcome to Derry panel, as reported by Screen Rant. Hallorann will be played by Chris Chalk and will have a much bigger role than his brief appearance in the original It novel.

In King’s book, Hallorann shows up in a short scene set at The Black Spot, a military bar that...

Stephen King fans have a lot to be excited about. HBO’s upcoming horror series It: Welcome to Derry will not only dive into Pennywise’s past but will also bring in a familiar face from another one of King’s classic stories. That’s right, Dick Hallorann from The Shining is officially joining the world of It.

The show is being made by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs, the same team behind the two recent It movies. This new prequel series is set to hit HBO in October 2025 and will explore the earlier years of Pennywise’s terror in Derry, Maine.

It will feature nine episodes and has a cast that includes Jovan Adepo, Taylour Paige, James Remar, Chris Chalk, and Bill Skarsgård, who’s returning as the terrifying clown.

At San Diego Comic-Con, Screen Rant reported that the Muschiettis confirmed Dick Hallorann will appear in the show,...

A new trailer for It: Welcome to Derry has been released following a panel at the San Diego Comic-Con yesterday evening, and it teases a sinister, demonic force in the small town, which may be there in addition to Pennywise.

Once again, we see very little of Bill Skarsgård's killer clown, an indication perhaps that his screentime will be fairly limited. That or HBO Max is simply looking to keep the iconic monster and his role in this story under wraps (ensuring there are plenty of surprises for horror fans).

It's also been confirmed that It: Welcome to Derry will premiere this October, meaning we should return to Derry in time for Halloween.

The series, from Warner Bros. Television and developed for television by filmmakers Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman), will debut on HBO and also be available to stream on Max. Muschietti will direct...

Fans of Stephen King’s chilling universe are in for a terrifying treat! HBO just unveiled the highly anticipated second official teaser for the original drama series It: Welcome To Derry, straight from San Diego Comic-Con. This latest look at the prequel series is already sending shivers down spines, and we have the teaser trailer right here for you to watch!

Developed for television by the acclaimed filmmakers Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti, known for their work on the blockbuster It and It Chapter Two films, alongside writer Jason Fuchs, this new series promises to delve deeper into the terrifying world first established by Stephen King’s iconic novel.

Things can get spooky at Comic-Con after dark. And thanks the combination of Stephen King and the filmmaking team of Andy and Barbara Muschietti, the It: Welcome to Derry panel delivered the scares Saturday night in San Diego.

The sibling duo shared a new teaser trailer (below), played the opening scene of their upcoming HBO series, which fleshes out stories from King’s sprawling 1986 novel, and explained the impetus behind the initial eight-episode season.

"One of the most fascinating things about the book is the cryptic factor, which is, you hear the story, you know certain things, but you never get to the end of anything. At the end of the book, nobody knows what the hell It is, what does it want? Who is Bob Gray? How did it all happen? We are going to ruin all this," Andy quipped, "by unveiling some of these mysteries, but with very good taste.

Episode 4 of Dexter: Resurrection hit hard, especially when it comes to the father-son dynamic at the heart of this series. Harrison’s trying to find his footing in the aftermath of everything, while Harry Morgan’s voice (and presence) is as sharp as ever—pushing Dexter in all the right and wrong ways.

I sat down with Jack Alcott and James Remar to talk about stepping back into these iconic roles. We got into Harrison’s evolution, Harry’s ongoing influence, and what it’s like revisiting characters that still mean so much to longtime fans of the show.

At San Diego Comic-Con’sDexter: Original Sin panel, the Og Harry Morgan actor revealed his reaction to being recast in the prequel show. The Dexter franchise now consists of three shows, and Dexter: Original Sin features an entirely new cast as younger versions of the returning characters. The role of Harry Morgan, Dexter’s father, was previously played by James Remar, but Christian Slater took over for the prequel.

Set 15 years before the original show, Christian Slater's version of Harry Morgan appears alongside Patrick Gibson's Dexter Morgan. The relationship between the father and son helps lay the groundwork for the titular character becoming a serial killer in Dexter.

While the recasting wasn’t personal, it was bound to bring out emotions in the original actors. In the case of Remar, they were all positive. Screen Rant was present at the Dexter panel at Sdcc 2025, where Remar shared his feelings...

Dexter has returned to San Diego Comic Con as everyone’s favorite fictional series killer has been resurrected.

Michael C. Hall has returned to Ballroom 20, following his appearance last year when he surprised attendees at the Dexter: Original Sin, the prequel series starring Patrick Gibson.

At the head of the table is showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips.

On the tail of the fourth episode of Dexter: Resurrection debuting on Paramount+ and introducing a bevy of new bloodthirsty killers (more on that right here), the stars of the newest Dexter spinoff arrived at a packed Ballroom 20 at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday (July 25) night to tease some new details about the episodes ahead. Onhand for the panel, which was moderated by Jamie Chung, were title star and executive producer Michael C. Hall, showrunner Clyde Phillips, executive producer Scott Reynolds, and fellow returning Dexter and Dexter: New Blood stars James Remar, David Zayas, and Jack Alcott, along with newcomers David Dastmalchian and Krysten Ritter.

After giving in to his bloodlust, Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) has finally regained his persona as the Dark Passenger, stealing an invitation for a serial killer-exclusive dinner along the way.

Exclusive: Dexter: Resurrection is continues to delight on Paramount+ with Showtime.

The premiere episode has now tallied 4.4M cross-platform viewers in its first seven days, up 41% from the first three days, when about 3.1M had checked out the latest outing in the growing franchise, Deadline can exclusively reveal.

That sets another streaming record for Showtime, once again upping the threshold for the network’s most-streamed series premiere in history. Dexter: Resurrection is also outperforming the premiere of Dexter: Original Sin by about 25% so far.

From showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, Dexter: Resurrection stars Michael C. Hall back in the titular role of Dexter Morgan. A continuation of Dexter: New Blood, the series takes place weeks after Dexter Morgan (Hall) takes a bullet to the chest from his own son, as he awakens from a coma to find Harrison (Jack Alcott) gone without a trace.

Realizing the weight of what he put his son through,...

One original star confirms they will not be returning for Dexter: Resurrection. The latest sequel in the Dexter franchise, Dexter: Resurrection's story follows Michael C. Hall as his character returns from the dead to follow his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), to New York City.

So far, Dexter: Resurrection has been a success. ScreenRant's Greg MacArthur said in his Dexter: Resurrection review that the series delivers "exactly what the franchise needed and what fans have been dying to see." The series feels like a return to form with Dexter on the hunt in a metropolitan area, while also expanding on his character and the lore.

After the original Dexter had a poorly received series finale, and the finale to the single-season sequel Dexter: New Blood proved divisive, Resurrection has the chance to tell new, engaging stories. Some of that is delivering fan-service moments, but one actor won't make an appearance.

More than a decade after Dexter first carved out its place in pop culture, the iconic serial killer has once again returned to dominate the small screen, and the numbers don’t lie. Dexter: Resurrection, the latest installment in the long-running franchise, has slashed its way to a record-breaking debut, proving that this blood-stained saga still has plenty of life left in it.

Dexter: Resurrection premiered its first two episodes on Paramount+ with Showtime on July 11, before making its cable debut on Showtime that Sunday night. According to Deadline, the crime drama managed to pull in 3.1 million global viewers across platforms over the weekend of its release. That's a 46% increase over the debut of Dexter: Original Sin.

Dexter: Resurrection on Paramount+ is making waves and rightly so. But the show’s narrative so far spotlights one glaring omission from Dexter: New Blood: Harrison’s half-siblings, Cody and Astor. The two characters, who were a part of the original series’ main cast, remain unmentioned, even in the second reboot of the franchise.

While we have only gotten to Dexter: Resurrection Episode 3 so far, the blatant removal of these characters from the show, or rather, Harrison and Dexter Morgan’s memory, is not sitting right with longtime fans of the franchise. While the two were not mentioned in New Blood (via Screen Rant), fans held high hopes for their appearance in the most recent reboot. Let’s dive into why this omission stings viewers who have been with the franchise since its early days.

Dexter: Resurrection Ignores Harrison’s Half-Siblings

Dexter: Resurrection picks up with a 360° reset.

Dexter: Resurrection brings back Michael C. Hall and other stars from the original series, but there wasn't room for everyone to return. That's left at least one Dexter alum feeling bummed about getting left out.

In the classic Dexter, Julie Benz co-starred as Rita, Dexter Morgan's girlfriend (and later wife). After starring in the first four seasons, Benz had her character shockingly killed off, though she later popped back up for a flashback sequence. Dexter is also known to have visions of other deceased characters, so it was certainly possible for Rita to make an appearance somehow in Resurrection. However, per Bingetown TV, Benz said she is not going to appear in the new show.

Michael C. Hall has made a successful return in his iconic role in the new Showtime series, Dexter: Resurrection, which has surpassed Taylor Sheridan’s spy thriller, Lioness, on Paramount+. Premiering on July 11, this latest installment picks up mere weeks after Dexter: New Blood, with a shockingly alive Dexter awakening from a coma and heading to New York City on a mission to reconnect with his estranged son, Harrison (Jack Alcott).

And it is making waves on Paramount+, even outpacing Taylor Sheridan’s biggest thrillers in the global rankings. According to FlixPatrol, the crime drama currently ranks at #4 among the top TV shows on Paramount+ worldwide, overtaking Sheridan’s Lioness, which stands at the #5 spot.

With familiar faces like James Remar’s ghostly Harry Morgan and David Zayas’s Captain Batista, along with newcomers such as Peter Dinklage and Uma Thurman, the show has reclaimed cultural momentum with reviews praising...

Dexter: Resurrection on Paramount+ is sparing no cost in making Og fans feel right at home. Right from a familiar sense of thrill and Dexter’s signature kill rituals to giving us cameos from some of our favorites from the original series, the show has already won fan love and appreciation, only 3 episodes in.

For a television franchise as influential as Dexter, nothing short of absolute domination on the viewership charts can be considered successful. The franchise returned recently with a new sequel series, titled Dexter: Resurrection. Set in the aftermath of the events shown in Dexter: New Blood, the series finds everybody's favorite serial killer, played by the returning Michael C. Hall, mentoring his now-grown son Harrison in the ways of "the Code," while evading the suspicions of his old buddy, Angel Batista. Although Resurrectiondebuted to positive reviews and impressive ratings, the show seems to have taken a rather unexpected tumble.

While the entire town shuns him, thinking he’s the culprit, things take a turn when he wakes up one morning...

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Terminator and Viggo Mortensen is Aragorn, as if the role was made for them and there was no script or book to base it on.

There are countless scenarios in which the above is true, and the one thing we can say for sure is that casting directors did an incredible job in all of them. Often, though, that is not the entire picture of what truly happened behind the scenes.

There’s a story to be shared in the movies about when you never expected an actor to succeed but, still, they...
