Dexter: Resurrection, the chilling new chapter in the Dexter franchise, has officially crossed into the second half of its debut season, and fans are on edge. With Michael C. Hall reprising his iconic role as Dexter Morgan, the series continues to dig into the morally complex world of America’s most methodical serial killer. This time, the stakes are higher, the villains are bolder, and the show is gaining momentum as a centerpiece of Paramount+’s streaming slate.
Whether you’re already a devoted Dexter fan or just diving in, here’s a complete breakdown of Dexter: Resurrection’s episode release schedule, streaming info, cast updates, and what to expect as the finale approaches.
When Do New Episodes of Dexter: Resurrection Come Out?
New episodes of Dexter: Resurrection drop every Friday on Paramount+ Premium at 12 a.m. ET / 9 p.m. PT on Thursdays. For fans on the East Coast, that means an early Friday binge is totally possible — but West Coasters can technically tune in Thursday night and get a head start on the drama.
The show follows a weekly release model that builds suspense and encourages discussion between episodes — something that’s worked well for other thriller-based dramas in the streaming age.

What Is Dexter: Resurrection About?
Taking place after the events of Dexter: New Blood, this latest revival finds Dexter Morgan not only alive but back to his old methods — with a few changes.
Now operating in New York City, Dexter is attempting to maintain a new cover while juggling the inner urges of his “Dark Passenger.” But he’s not alone in this psychological war zone. The series introduces a new crop of twisted killers — among them are famous faces like Neil Patrick Harris and Eric Stonestreet, each playing shocking, sinister roles.
“They don’t all live in New York City,” said Dexter creator and executive producer Clyde Phillips, “but let’s say they’ve been invited there; it’s a gathering.” The show seems to be building toward a convergence of dark minds, all colliding with Dexter’s calculated code of ethics — or what remains of it.
What Makes This Revival Different?
Unlike previous seasons where Dexter was constantly looking over his shoulder, Dexter: Resurrection feels like a full-fledged hunt. The name says it all — this is a rebirth of a darker, sharper Dexter. What’s fascinating is how the show retools itself for a post-serial era, where even villains must evolve.
Executive producer Clyde Phillips hints that this season is just the beginning: “This season is a unique launching pad for however many years this series will be going.” If that’s true, then the groundwork being laid is likely to stretch well beyond this nine-episode arc.
Additionally, by incorporating prominent actors known for comedic roles and placing them into chilling, unrecognizable characters, the show plays with viewer expectations and enhances the eerie unpredictability that Dexter fans love.

What to Expect in the Final Episodes
As the second half of the season unfolds, viewers should brace for:

- A brutal climax: Episode 9, titled “And Justice For All…”, hints at possible courtroom drama or a final reckoning — maybe even a moral verdict on Dexter’s choices.
- Emotional weight: With characters like Kayla (from New Blood) possibly surfacing and Dexter’s past constantly haunting him, emotional flashbacks and consequences seem inevitable.
