Twenty years after Dexter first premiered on October 1, 2006, Michael C. Hall is still finding new layers in television’s favorite serial killer. Dexter: Resurrection returns for Season 2 on October 30, exclusively on the Paramount+ Clyde Phillips returns as showrunner and executive producer, and Michael C. Hall executive produces as well. 

Returning alongside Hall are Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusa, James Remar and Desmond Harrington, who has been promoted to series regular. New faces include Dan Stevens, Brian Cox, Nona Parker Johnson and Gabriel Luna, with Krysten Ritter also back. The first season of Dexter: Resurrection drew 4.4 million multi-platform viewers in its first seven days. The Season 2 teaser plays on Dexter’s new glasses with the tagline “He’s back and sharper than ever.”

The Synopsis

The second season of Dexter: Resurrection finds Dexter Morgan (Hall) caught between two killers — one with decades of notoriety and a lifetime of kills behind him, and the other a fresh young face terrorizing New York in ways no one has ever seen. Meanwhile, Dexter battles a new and unexpected enemy: a mid-life crisis. Harrison (Jack Alcott) continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter yet. 

Michael C. Hall was born February 1, 1971, in Raleigh, North Carolina, and earned his MFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts graduate acting program. He made his debut on Broadway as the Emcee in Sam Mendes’ 1999 revival of Cabaret. In 2001 Hall broke out on television as “David Fisher” in HBO’s Six Feet Under. In 2006, he took on the role that would define his career, playing “Dexter Morgan” in Showtime’s Dexter. That performance earned him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and five consecutive Emmy nominations. The actor has continued theater and starred on Broadway in Hedwig and the Angry Inch and David Bowie’s Lazarus, played John F. Kennedy in The Crown, and fronts the New York band Princess Goes.
