‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Teaser – Michael C. Hall Makes a Killer Comeback in July
“Dexter: Resurrection” will premiere with two episodes on July 11 on Paramount+ with Showtime. It will air on Showtime two days later on July 13.
The news was revealed with a new teaser below, featuring Michael C. Hall reprising his iconic role as vigilante the serial killer, reading an article titled “Dexter Morgan Is Dead” with a knowing smile.
Weeks after taking a bullet to the chest from his own son, Dexter Morgan awakens from a coma to find Harrison gone without a trace. Realizing the weight of what he put his son through, Dexter sets out for New York City, determined to find him and make things right.
But closure won’t come easy. When Miami Metro’s Angel Batista arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching up to him fast. As father and son navigate their own darkness in the city that never sleeps, they soon find themselves deeper than they ever imagined — and that the only way out is together.
The revival also sees the return of David Zayas as Angel Batista, Jack Alcott as Harrison Morgan, James Remar as Harry Morgan, and David Magidoff as Teddy Reed, plus cameos from John Lithgow as The Trinity Killer and Jimmy Smits as Miguel Prado.
Peter Dinklage plays the season’s main villain, billionaire venture capitalist Leon Prater, with Uma Thurman as Charley, a former Special Ops officer who serves as his right-hand woman.
Newcomers Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusaand, and Emilia Suárez will be joined by guest stars Krysten Ritter, Neil Patrick Harris, Eric Stonestreet, David Dastmalchian, Steve Schirripa, Marc Menchaca, and Reese Antoinette.
Original “Dexter” showrunner Clyde Phillips returns while fellow “Dexter” alumnus Marcos Siega serves as producing director. He’ll helm four episodes, with Monica Raymund (“Dexter: Original Sin”) directing the other four.
Based on Jeff Lindsay’s novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter, “Dexter” ran for eight seasons between 2006 and 2013. It was revived in 2021 with “Dexter: New Blood.” Hall returned to narrate as Dexter’s inner voice in the prequel series “Dexter: Original Sin,” which debuted in December.

‘Hannibal’ Returns to Netflix This July With All Three Seasons of Bryan Fuller’s Brilliant Series
One of the all-time saddest TV cancellations for horror fans came when NBC pulled the plug on the Bryan Fuller-created “Hannibal” after just three seasons back in 2015, leaving the fates of Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) quite literally hanging off a cliff. Fuller has been keeping hope alive for the return of “Hannibal” for the past ten plus years, but to date, the series has not been able to crawl its way back from the dead.
But “Hannibal” is at least returning to Netflix this Summer…
All three seasons of “Hannibal” will be streaming on Netflix July 27, 2026.
The hope from fans has always been that a streaming service like Netflix will bring “Hannibal” back to life, and it certainly wouldn’t hurt if a whole lot of fans stream the existing three seasons whenever they pop up on the service. What’s the latest update on a potential return?
Bryan Fuller told Bloody Disgusting’s Horror Queers podcast late last year, “Everybody wants to return. Hugh [Dancy], and Mads [Mikkelsen], definitely. But also Lawrence Fishburne, Katie Isabelle, Caroline Dhavernas, Lara Jean Chorostecki, Aaron Abrams, and Scott [Thompson] all want to come back to the story.”
“Right now, it’s a little complicated since Martha de Laurentiis‘ passing. The rights are in the process of reversion to Thomas Harris. MGM/Amazon has some,” Fuller explained. “They’re all being navigated in a way that is going to be a little trickier to iron out now. They’re in process, and I keep on touching base and trying to encourage folks to get back together.”
Fuller continued in his chat with the Horror Queers last year, “I’ve talked a little bit about wanting to do a The Silence of the Lambs adaptation, which may be free of certain obligations to include Gaumont [International Television], who is the studio on Hannibal. You can’t copyright a performance, you know? So there are things that we’re trying to figure out if we can get away with that would make it an easier path that might shake the possibilities loose of things that we might be hindered from doing at this point, given the status of the rights.”
For now, keep streaming “Hannibal.” And keep the hope alive. #RenewHannibal
