Paramount+ has officially confirmed that the Dexter sequel series will have a second season — which matches what showrunner Clyde Phillips had already shared earlier.
Actor Michael C. Hall made a (somewhat creepy) video for fans (watch it below) to share the news.
He said, “First of all, I just want to thank all the fans for tuning in and taking the Dexter: Resurrection ride with us. We’ve been greenlit for another season. The writers room is assembling now, and details will be forthcoming. But I wanted to be the first to let you know that the story continues.”
The first season continues the story of the 2021 limited series Dexter: New Blood, which followed the reunion of Dexter Morgan (played by Hall) and his son Harrison (played by Jack Alcott).
This decision comes after Paramount+ handled its other Dexter spinoff, the prequel drama Dexter: Original Sin, in an unusual way.
The streamer announced that Original Sin would have a second season back in April. However, after the Paramount-Skydance merger was completed in August, the Dexter franchise moved from Showtime/MTV Entertainment to Paramount Television Studios. Soon after, the streamer decided to cancel Original Sin.
Showrunner Clyde Phillips openly criticized this decision last month.
He said, “It was a tough phone call that I got. They had already picked up the show, and I had informed all the writers and all the actors. Then they un-picked it up. It wasn’t handled well, and I’m not happy about it.” Phillips mentioned that the writers had planned for “a couple years” of the show.
