We've broken down everything you need to know about where to watch Dexter: Resurrection, including global options and streaming availability of other Dexter franchise shows.
Following the original Dexter series' divisive ending in 2013, Showtime brought back the titular killer in 2021 for a limited revival series, titled Dexter: New Blood. The sequel's finale also incited plenty of controversy among fans, but Showtime later revealed that Dexter Morgan has managed to survive it all, allowing for his return in 2025's Dexter: Resurrection.
In Dexter: Resurrection, a newly awakened Dexter tracks down and hopes to reunite with his teenage son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), in New York City. However, Dexter is also trying to outrun his past in Miami and Iron Lake, as Miami Metro Captain Angel Batista investigates previous claims about him being the Bay Harbor Butcher. In the new sequel's cast, Hall is joined by returning actors James Remar, David Zayas, and Alcott, as well as newcomers like Peter Dinklage, Uma Thurman, Neil Patrick Harris, and Krysten Ritter.

Dexter: Resurrection trailer
The trailer for Dexter: Resurrection highlights the titular killer awakening from a coma after surviving a gunshot wound, only to be confronted by his old Miami Metro colleague, Angel Batista, suspecting him of being the Bay Harbor Butcher. Dexter cleverly escapes to New York City, where he keeps an eye on Harrison, hunts a killer nicknamed the Dark Passenger, and is recruited by a mysterious and powerful figure into a community of other serial killers. In a new city, Dexter is back to killing again, but this time around, he's "tired of being careful."
Dexter: Resurrection's trailer also highlights some new and familiar faces appearing in the cast of the sequel's inaugural season. That includes returning actors Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan, Dexter's James Remar as Harry Morgan, New Blood's Jack Alcott as Harrison Morgan, and David Zayas as Angel Batista. Among the newcomers are Peter Dinklage as the wealthy Leon Prater, Uma Thurman as Prater's head of security, Charley, and Krysten Ritter, Neil Patrick Harris, Eric Stonestreet, and David Dastmalchian as fellow serial killers.
