Dexter: Resurrection has become the last standing series in the Dexter franchise, making a significant impact on streaming platforms. After several cancellations within the franchise, this show continues to captivate global audiences on Paramount+.
The series features Michael C. Hall returning as Dexter and has been ranked among the top 10 shows across more than 15 countries. Its success can be partially attributed to it being the only Dexter-related show that remains active, following the cancellation of the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin and the shelved Trinity spin-off.
Creator Clyde Phillips confirmed the cancellation of the Trinity series, which was supposed to feature John Lithgow reprising a voice role. Despite uncertainty around Dexter: Resurrection’s future, Paramount officially renewed it for a second season in October after reports of a writers’ room being set up earlier in the year.
Production Timeline and Seasonal Outlook
The writing team needs approximately five months to complete the scripts before filming begins. If they follow this schedule, production could start around March or April. Viewers may then expect the second season to be released before the end of next year.
Fans looking for more Dexter content can continue enjoying the first season of Resurrection, currently streaming exclusively on Paramount+. The franchise’s revitalization hinges on this series’ strong streaming performance amid other spin-offs’ disappointments.
