Cover Story From the ashes: A vigilante killer rises again in ‘Dexter: Resurrection’ By Sarah Passingham A new, old life begins for one once-dead forensic analyst-turned-small town sporting goods store clerk with a dark secret. After his life in New York state as Jim Lindsay unraveled, the past has come back to haunt Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall, “Six Feet Under”) in “Dexter: Resurrection.” The first two episodes of the series are available to stream now on Paramount+ with the Showtime plan, with their broadcast network debut taking place Sunday, July 13, on Paramount+ with Showtime. In the series, Dexter makes a narrow escape from the events of “Dexter: New Blood” and sets off towards New York City, in part to try to reach his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott, “The Good Lord Bird”). Having been tipped off that Dexter is still alive and that he is likely to have
been responsible for the Bay Harbour Butcher murders in Miami years ago, Angel Batista (David Zayas, “The Bear”), now captain of homicide of the Miami Metro Police, heads north to confront his former colleague. “Dexter: Resurrection” also stars Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine (“The Lincoln Lawyer”) as rideshare driver Blessing Kamara; Kadia Saraf (“The Better Sister”) as Det. Claudette Wallace; Dominic Fumusa (“Nurse Jackie”) as Det. Melvin Oliva; and Emilia Suarez (“Up Here”) as Harrison’s friend Elsa Rivera. Also back from the dead in guest roles to revive characters from the original series are John Lithgow (“The Old Man”) as Arthur Mitchell, the Trinity Killer; Jimmy Smits (“Obi-Wan Kenobi”) as Miguel Prado, the assistant district attorney with a dark secret; and Erik King (“The
Good Fight”) as Det. James Doakes, long thought to be the Bay Harbour Butcher. This installment of the Dexter franchise boasts some exciting guest stars who may or may not entice Dexter’s dark passenger into action. Neil Patrick Harris (“Uncoupled”) is Lowell; David Dastmalchian (“Oppenheimer,” 2023) is Gareth; Eric Stonestreet (“American Auto”) is Al; and Krysten Ritter (“Orphan Black: Echoes”) is Mia. Dexter Morgan’s resurrection comes after he faked his death in the finale of the original “Dexter,” then was revealed to have been living low as Jim in “Dexter: New Blood.” In Iron Lake, New York, Dexter had been living like a man in recovery as Jim, honoring the routine of daily life that kept his deepest desires at bay. A tense moment forced him to live,
once again, by the code he thought he could suppress, sending his new life into a spiral. The unexpected arrival of Harrison, the expectations of fatherhood that came with him and Dexter’s own crimes scratching the surface of long-buried secrets in Iron Lake combined in an explosive finale. Father and son, both plagued by murderous tendencies, dramatically part ways — Harrison in hopes of living a different, better life than Dexter. Resuscitating their relationship is central to “Dexter: Resurrection,” Hall told Vanity Fair in April. “Harrison revealed himself to be, and remains, an all-the-more potent connection to Dexter’s tiny sense of humanity. He craves it, in spite of himself, so it’s a major bolt of thread running through his interior life and the life of the season.”
