Paramount+ has debuted the first official images from Dexter: Resurrection season two, offering an early preview of Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) getting back to doing what he does best. 

While there's plenty of serial killing in the first images, we also get to see some of the new and returning characters in action and it seems one of the biggest developments will be Harrison's new job as it looks like he's joined the force and become a member of the New York Police Department, which can't mean anything good for his death dealing father. 

The new season will see "Dexter Morgan caught between two killers – one notorious and the other terrorizing New York in ways no one ever anticipated – all while battling his greatest enemy yet: a mid-life crisis. Harrison continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter."

SAG and Golden Globe winner Michael C. Hall returns to his iconic role, with the main cast also returning Uma Thurman ("Charley Brown"), Jack Alcott ("Harrison Morgan"), Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine ("Blessing Kamara"), Kadia Saraf ("Claudette Wallace"), Dominic Fumusa ("Melvin Oliva"), Desmond Harrington ("Joey Quinn") and James Remar ("Harry Morgan"). Daredevil: Born Again star Krysten Ritter will also return in a guest starring role as Mia LaPierre, a.k.a. Lady Vengeance. 

New series regulars for season two include Dan Stevens ("Owen Stark"), Primetime Emmy-winner Bokeem Woodbine ("Captain Mixon"), Nona Parker Johnson ("Fiona Mixon"), and Primetime Emmy-winner Brian Cox ("Don Framt/The New York Ripper"). Gabriel Luna will guest star this season as Ray Ballard, a.k.a. the Sleepy Eyed Stranger. 

Dexter: Resurrection season two is set to premiere later this year, but while you wait, season one of Dexter: Resurrection is currently available to binge on Paramount+ only with the Paramount+ Premium Plan.

Wasn't strictly expecting to see Uma Thurman's character return here. And always cool to see Bokeem Woodbine show up.

I have always liked Dexter, but I thought season one of this was kind of stupid. Dinklage was ridiculous.

But I’ll watch it. I’m weird like that.

@DocSpock - yeah. It was good to see Dexter back to being Dexter but in a new setting with different challenges, but the ultimate culmination of season 1 was super weak a poorly executed. But I had fun with it.

After season 4 I'm kinda super relaxed about the quality of the writing for Dexter stuff. Trinity was the peak of this version of this character, in my opinion, and all this extra stuff is just whatever fluff. I just enjoy it for what it is.

What I REALLY wanna see is a series that's much more faithful to the original novels version of Dexter. When the show got popular, author Jeff Lindsay started making book Dexter more like the shows Dexter in ways, but they are still VERY different characters. In the books, Dexter is basically possessed by a supernatural entity he calls The Dark Passenger, and it literally gives Dexter crazy weird abilities, and will recognize other predators possessed by Dark Passengers, and some can like track each other and shit. And Dexter is a bit more eccentric like he's always wearing the loudest clothing like Hawaiian shirts with flames and guitars all over them, and his inner monologues are hilarious sometimes.

I'd love to see THAT version of Dexter one day.

@TheAmericanHero - Season 4 is the peak of the show and one of the best seasons in TV history. Nothing in this franchise has come close

@FireGunn - 100%

I'd never screamed at my TV before, until I saw, "Hello.... DEXTER MORGAN."

And shouted, "HOLY SHIT!" At my TV.

Then the finale.

Should have ended the show right there, no explaining what happens after, if he gets blamed or not, if he gets caught or not, just ends with him on his knees on the lawn repeating "I did it".

[frick]ing cinema.

Maybe a few moments in Breaking Bad came close.

@TheAmericanHero -

Hmmmm. I am an avid reader, but I didn’t know Dexter was in books. I am going to check those out.

Thanks!

@DocSpock - It was way better than Original Sin and I didn’t think that one was that bad despite being hokey at times.

@FireGunn - Agreed, but I loved the last season in NY and felt it was a return to form. As much as I want more Dexter and am looking forward to this, ending it last season would have gone out on a high note IMO. I hope this season delivers though

Season 1 was mediocre at best. No idea what all the hype was about.

Reboot the MCU and DCU

@FireGunn - same thing everything is about these days, the only thing proven to sell these days... Nostalgia. Not creativity or passion. Just cheap manipulative tugs on your gullible fond memories.

Maybe it was just because New Blood was so mediocre, but I really liked the first season of this show. Them leaning a bit more into the silliness of the show was cool, and loved Dexter going up against a Serial Killer Squad. Definitely looking forward to this.
