What’s Dexter & Dexter: Resurrection All About
The original series, Dexter, follows a highly skilled blood spatter analyst, Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C. Hall), who moonlights as a vigilante serial killer guided by his father’s moral code. Its sequel, Dexter: New Blood, is set ten years after the Season 8 finale and revolves around the relationship between Dexter and his estranged son, Harrison (played by Jack Alcott).
Created by Clyde Phillips and directed by Marcos Siega and Monica Raymund, Dexter: Resurrection picks up just weeks after the shocking finale of New Blood. Dexter awakens from a coma, only to find out his son, Harrison, has already left. Now, he must travel to New York City to find his son and to make things right with him again.
But on their trail is Dexter’s former colleague Angel Batista (played by David Zayas). Now, the only way out for Dexter and Harrison is to deal with the situation together. The latest season also features Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage, Kill Bill actress Uma Thurman, and James Remar as Dexter’s father, among others.
