Thriving both theatrically and on the small screen, the 2020s has been the age of horror. The past five years have seen horror succeeding on every front, as each new release draws hordes of viewers. Even as more shows are canceled without warning and more movies struggle at the box office, horror has endured.

M3GAN (2022), Smile (2022), MaXXXine (2024), and Sinners (2025) all managed to find success in theaters, despite lacking the backing of established brands or adaptational material, and they have also endured on streaming platforms. Franchise-backed productions, including Five Nights at Freddy’s (2023), Alien: Romulus (2024), and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) have also seen immense success.

Horror has also succeeded on the TV front, as Stranger Things, The Last of Us, and The Walking Dead have each found considerable success over the past decade. Now, another popular horror-comedy franchise is seeing a resurgence in popularity, and it comes on the tail end of a disappointing failure.

Dexter: Resurrection Episode 6 — Top 3 Fan Theories & What To Expect ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Last month, Michael C. Hall’s iconic serial killer Dexter Morgan made a glorious comeback to the small screen in Dexter: Resurrection. The new season holds an impressive 89% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and has brought back fond memories of the widely acclaimed show’s early seasons. The season is already halfway through, and viewers are waiting with bated breath for the arrival of Episode 6. Let’s look at the top three fan theories and what to expect from the next chapter, titled “Cats and Mouse.”

(Major Spoilers Ahead) 1. Mia’s Fate in Prison

Episode 5 ended with Dexter calling 911 and planting evidence to frame Mia, protecting his son Harrison from being held guilty for Ryan’s murder. While Mia receives a cryptic prison visit from Charlie (Uma Thurman), a fan theory suggests she may soon be killed behind bars,...

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for 'Dexter: Resurrection' Episode 5.

Dexter: Resurrection Episode 4 left audiences on a cliffhanger when Dexter (Michael C. Hall) stops Harrison (Jack Alcott) from confessing to Ryan Foster’s murder. In the latest episode, we see the father-son duo reconnect and Dexter’s paternal instincts reignite. During his meeting with Harrison, Dex decides to keep Ryan Foster’s (Harrison’s victim) watch with him. What follows is a clever unfolding of him framing Mia, or Lady Vengeance (Krysten Ritter) as Ryan’s killer.

The move was paternal love at its best, but it served another purpose for Dexter. Dexter: Resurrection Episode 5 does a wonderful job of conveniently placing Mia as Dex’s safest bet for saving Harrison. Let’s dissect how the Bay Harbor Butcher eliminated another fellow serial club member.

Dexter Eliminates Mia by Framing Her

In the fifth episode of Dexter: Resurrection,...

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.

Following shocking conclusion to episode four, Dexter: Resurrection is really starting to up the ante as our main man Dexter finds himself in a new environment with deadly new acquaintances that have a similar bloodlust, although without his moral code, so it's probably only a matter of time before the Bay Harbor Butcher will need to strike again.

Having screened the first few episodes prior to its series launch, I was granted an exclusive opportunity to sit down with the man himself, Michael C. Hall, to talk about the exciting new season and how he's finally able to give us a version of Dexter that's embracing his code while also testing his own limits in new ways.

We get into where Dexter’s head is at right now, how the Dark Passenger still influences him, and why this chapter of his story feels like both a fresh start and a...

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.

Dexter: Resurrection is doing a great job of raising the stakes each week, and Episode 4 made it clear that Angel Batista is inching closer to the truth. Seeing Batista back on screen brings that old Miami Metro energy, while Blessing (played by Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine) adds a whole new dynamic we haven’t really seen before.

I caught up with David Zayas and Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine to talk about the season so far, Batista’s relentless pursuit of justice, and how Blessing’s connection to Dexter changes the game in unexpected ways.

Rohan: David, Batista clearly has some unfinished business with Dexter. How has his perspective changed since essentially Season 8? Batista has been chasing answers for a long time. What does it mean for him to finally be getting close to the truth?

David: I think it's brilliant that it's the character of Batista that they...

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.

Season 7 was full of some of Dexter’s most shocking moments: we witnessed Deb’s moral unraveling, Laguerta’s pursuit of Dexter, and her death at the hands of Debra. But there’s one moment that sits in the early episodes of the season, not getting nearly enough attention. The traumatic death of Wayne Randall in Season 7 Episode 2, titled “Sunshine and Frosty Swirls”, might have been just another addition to the Miami Metro Pd files.

However, his demise served as a haunting mirror for Dexter, who was grappling with internal conflict and struggles centered around going to prison. If a man who finally tried to do the right thing couldn’t heal, would Dexter be any different? While the show never really hammered this moment home, let us tell you why we think Randall’s death held more significance than we were led to believe.

Randall’s Death Exposed Dexter...

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.

Angela Bishop (Julia Jones) had a valid yet confusing reason for letting Dexter go in the finale of Dexter: New Blood. Angela, the chief of police in Iron Lake, New York, was spearheading the investigation into the disappearances of women in her town, including her best friend, Iris Broussard. She ultimately became Dexter's love interest in the crime series, but she was unaware of his past as a serial killer. 

Eventually, Angela discovered Dexter's secret, tying him to his past as the Bay Harbor Butcher. As a result, she became conflicted over her feelings for him, believing that he may have something to do with those poor women in her town (including Iris). 

Dexter: New Blood is the sequel to the original Dexter series. It follows the titular character's attempt to start a new life in Iron Lake. The star-studded cast includes Michael C. Hall, Jack Alcott, Julia Jones, Jennifer Carpenter,...

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 Morgan is back and is ready for some more kills in his new bloody adventure “Dexter: Resurrection.”

Just when we thought we’d lost our conscientious killer, here he comes ready for a new start, and of course, some new victims. Well, in his eyes, they deserve their fates.

This post contains spoilers from Dexter: Resurrection season 1 episode 3 from this point forward.

After a two-episode premiere that picked up where we left off and introduced the new stakes, this week’s episode feels more like a return to form for what we’ve come to expect from the series. This installment, “Backseat Driver,” finds both Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and Harrison (Jack Alcott) continuing along their path. Let’s dive into those paths!

Catching the Dark Passenger

While Dexter originally arrived in New York City to watch over and even aide Harrison, they’ve yet to make contact. Instead, he got sidetracked by his own mission to stop a killer known as the Dark Passenger, who is preying upon ride share drivers. Dexter is sparked to action not only by his calling, but his frustration that a killer has snatched his name.

That led to him taking a job as a ride share driver.

Dexter Morgan has arrived in the bustling streets of New York City, his mission twofold: reconnect with his son, Harrison, and confront a copycat serial killer who shares his “Dark Passenger” moniker. With Detective Wallace closing in on Harrison’s killing of a rapist and Dexter hot on the trail of Ronald Schmidt, will father and son’s paths collide amidst the chaos of the city?

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for episode 3 of Dexter: Resurrection. Dexter: Resurrection — “Backseat Driver” — The Recap

We open the episode on the night road of New York. Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) has taken on a new profession: a UrCar driver. In the past, he’s been a capable detective and serial killer, but he’s never been in the business of customer service. He sucks. His customer asks him for some water, to which Dexter replies, “You want me to stop at a bodega?...

Dexter Morgan may have taken a bullet and had his heart stop, but that didn’t stop him from staging a heartstopping comeback of his own. Dexter: Resurrection has delivered Showtime’s most-watched and most-streamed premiere ever — and that’s not hyperbole. It’s a resurrection in more ways than one. According to Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount Global and President of Showtime/MTV Entertainment, the numbers speak for themselves:

“Dexter: Resurrection delivered an electrifying performance that not only rekindled a fiercely devoted fanbase but also captivated a new generation of viewers — shattering records with Showtime’s most-streamed premiere ever. This triumph underscores the lasting impact of this iconic franchise, brought to life by Michael C. Hall’s unparalleled portrayal and Clyde Phillips’ visionary creative leadership.”

The premiere episode pulled in 3.1 million global cross-platform viewers, a stunning +46% increase over the debut of Dexter: Original Sin and a +79% leap from Dexter: New Blood.

Dexter is alive and killing it, this time in New York City. The sequel series Dexter: Resurrection debuted a couple of weeks ago, and Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) is just sharpening his knives to bring his kind of justice to the Big Apple. This week, Collider can exclusively reveal a sneak peek of the upcoming new episode of the show, titled "Backseat Driver."

Dexter: Resurrection is the long-awaited sequel that continues the story of Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), after his presumed death. It is the latest release in a franchise that includes Dexter, Dexter: New Blood, and Dexter: Original Sin.

Shortly after Resurrection's premiere, the original Dexter rocketed back to prominence by taking the #6 spot on Paramount+'s charts.

Dexter: Resurrection is the latest revival in the Dexter universe, continuing the story from Dexter: New Blood. Picking up weeks after the shocking conclusion where Dexter survives being shot by his son Harrison, the series follows his journey out of a coma and into a dangerous hunt—for redemption, reconciliation, and survival.

Per Flix Patrol, the long-running procedural has officially been knocked out of the top three spots on the top TV shows chart for Paramount+ thanks to the two-episode premiere of Dexter: Resurrection.

Michael C. Hall’s vigilante blood-spatter analyst is back on the job as “Dexter: Resurrection” premiered Friday on Paramount+ with a two-episode launch, ahead of a linear debut on Showtime this Sunday at 8 p.m. Et/Pt. The new season begins less than three years after Dexter: New Blood appeared to end the character’s story and two decades after the original series first aired, underscoring the franchise’s staying power.

Hall acknowledged that the 2013 finale left many viewers dissatisfied, calling it “frustrating” and admitting it “could have been better executed,” while expressing confidence that the current creative team has “more story to tell.” He hinted that the revival may extend beyond a single season, noting that the writers “didn’t embark on this imagining it as a one-off.”

The narrative picks up after Dexter survives a near-fatal encounter in upstate New York and attempts a lower-profile life in Brooklyn,...

Spoiler Alert: The following reveals major plot points for the Dexter: Resurrection series premiere

Michael C. Hall is back as Dexter Morgan in Showtime’s Dexter: Resurrection, having cheated death again and ready to slay more serial killer butt. The first two episodes are available to stream now.

The new spinoff follows the events of Dexter: New Blood, which ended with Dexter’s son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), shooting his very first serial killer, his dad. Dexter decided it was time he be taken out, having reemerged with his dark passenger, unable to release the monster inside. It’s part of the code, after all.

In the first moments of Dexter: Original Sin, it’s revealed that the titular killer had survived the attempt on his life and had been rushed to the hospital. The prequel spinoff, starring Patrick Gibson as young Dexter, follows the serial killer in training as...

Dexter: Resurrectionstar Jack Alcott explains his take on Harrison's first kill.

Speaking toTVLine, Alcott opened up about the mentality behind his Harrison Morgan after carrying out his first kill during the series' two-episode premiere. After brutally beating a would-be rapist to death with a toilet tank lid, Harrison has to clean up his mess, which he does in eerily familiar fashion after learning the tricks of the trade from his serial killer father. "Harrison is a very impulsive character," Alcott noted, "and Dexter, ironically, while driven by a really strong impulse, is very disciplined on account of this guy."

"I think that that is a real gift that Harrison gets from Dexter," Alcott continued before going on to explain how Harrison's baser impulses have been tempered by his time spent alongside his father, famously portrayed by longtime Dexter franchise star Michael C. Hall. "Being a really impulsive, reactive...

That’s right, Dexter Morgan is officially back from the dead (again), and he’s ready to hit the streets for some new kills.

Those colorful murderers include Uma Thurman's Charley, Krysten Ritter's Mia Lapierre, David Dastmalchian's Gareth, Neil Patrick Harris' Lowell, and Eric Stonestreet's Al.

Dexter Morgan died once before, born again as a lumberjack and eventually an upstate New York man about town. What’s one more resurrection between friends?

After getting fatally shot in the heart in the 2022 finale of Dexter: New Blood, Michael C. Hall’s outlandishly lucky serial killer-killing serial killer once again stalks the land, thanks to the latest entry in the franchise, Dexter: Resurrection.

The series premiere (the first two episodes began streaming on Friday) reveals how Dexter survived a point-blank gunshot wound to the chest, leveled his way by son Harrison (Jack Alcott), thanks to the violence occurring in the midst of radically cold temperatures. Just a few degrees warmer and Dexter would be as dead as all the villains he’s killed in the past. Instead Resurrection finds him alive, if not exactly well, as he suffers through an existential end-of-life crisis littered with ghosts...

After a premiere that helped us catch up with Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and Harrison (Jack Alcott), bringing them to New York City, we’re moving on. The second episode, which was part of a double release this week, gives us more of the ongoing stories. This second episode, “Camera Shy,” provides a new focus for Dexter, as both he and Harrison try to remain free. Let’s dive in.

Father knows best

Dexter Morgan's story is not over. The original Dexter series premiered in 2006 and ran for eight seasons until 2013, and its popularity led to a full franchise that includes multiple sequel series and a prequel.

MGM+ has just debuted the second sequel series, Dexter: Resurrection. The series takes place merely weeks after the previous sequel series, Dexter: New Blood, and tackles the events after Dexter's son Harrison left his father for dead. After debuting with a perfect score, Dexter: Resurrection didn't need much to enter the charts immediately after its premiere, FlixPatrol reports.

Dexter: Resurrection debuted on Friday, Jul. 11, and it immediately entered the charts the same day. It debuted in seventh place in the U.S., and has already entered the charts in different territories, taking over the sixth spot in Paramount+'s Top 10 global charts.

The show's popularity was evident while the original series aired on Showtime.

This post contains spoilers from Dexter: Resurrection season 1 episode 1 from this point forward.

It’s been four years since we last caught up with Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall). In the sequel series, Dexter: New Blood, we met him living in a small, secluded little town in upstate New York. He was going by the name Jim Lindsay, and he was living a quiet life. He owned a store. He kept up with his fitness. He had a girlfriend—the Chief of Police, no less—and he kept his urges in check.

All that came undone as his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), found him. Dexter was forced to confront his past and to try and pass on something to his son. But it didn’t take long for things to go off the rails. His past surfaced. He faced new challenges. And as the show closed, Harrison took aim and shot his father.
