Michael C. Hall is slipping back into his most famous character. On Thursday, the Dexter star was at work in New York City filming scenes for the upcoming sequel series Dexter: Resurrection. 

Hall sported a long-sleeved blue shirt and dark pants and held a coffee cup in a moment captured by photographers on April 3. The actor is reprising his role as serial killer Dexter Morgan in the upcoming 10-episode series, which will launch in summer 2025 on Paramount+ with Showtime.

‘Dexter: Resurrection’ cast also includes Krysten Ritter and Peter Dinklage 

Details about the newest chapter in Dexter’s twisted story are scant. However, other candid snaps from filming offer some clues. Also on Thursday, paparazzi captured guest star Krysten Ritter shooting a scene where her character, Mia, is hauled away by police. On March 31, Hall and David Dastmalchian filmed a scene at McNally Jackson Books in Manhattan. Dastmalchian plays a character named Gareth in the new episodes. A few days earlier, Game of Thrones alum Peter Dinklage was seen on set with Hall at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport. Dinklage’s Dexter: Resurrection character is a billionaire venture capitalist named Leon Pater.

Dexter: Resurrection’s stacked cast also includes Uma Thurman as Charley, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine as Blessing Kamara, Kadia Saraf as Detective Claudette Wallace, Dominic Fumusa as Detective Melvin Oliva, Emilia Suárez as Elsa Rivera, Neil Patrick Harris as Lowell, and Eric Stonestreet as Al. Returning cast members include David Zayas as Detective Angel Batista, Jack Alcott as Dexter’s son Harrison Morgan, and James Remar as Dexter’s father Harry Morgan.

Dexter aired on Showtime from 2006 to 2013. Hall returned as the vigilante killer in the sequel Dexter: New Blood, which premiered in 2021. That show appeared to definitely wrap up Dexter’s story. In the finale, Dexter’s son Harrison shot his father in the chest and left him to die. But the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin reversed that ending. The opening scene revealed that Dexter miraculously survived the shooting, though he was in a coma.  

In addition to Dexter: Resurrection, a prequel series about the infamous Trinity Killer (played by John Lithgow in the original show) is in development, Deadline reports.

Dexter is streaming on Netflix and Paramount+ with Showtime. Dexter: New Blood and Dexter: Original Sin are streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime.
