‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Renewed for Season 2 at Paramount+
Dexter will live on, as Paramount+ has renewed “Dexter: Resurrection” for a second season.
“There’s more to come. The writers room is assembling now, and details will be forthcoming,” star Michael C. Hall shared in a social media video. “The story continues!”
The renewal comes after the streamer canceled prequel series “Dexter: Original Sin” in the wake of Paramount’s merger with Skydance.
From original “Dexter” showrunner Clyde Phillips, the first season of “Dexter: Resurrection” premiered in July to 4.4 million multiplatform viewers in its first seven days. It ran for 10 episodes before wrapping up last month.
In addition to Hall, the show saw the return of Jack Alcott as Harrison Morgan, David Zayas as Angel Batista, and James Remar as Harry Morgan, among others.
The cast also includes Uma Thurman, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusa, Emilia Suárez, and Peter Dinklage.
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 “Dexter: Original Sin,” which debuted last December.
We are still waiting for the marketing campaign to get underway for Friday the 13th prequel series “Crystal Lake,” but while we wait for the trailer, we’ve got a fresh tease this week.
Linda Cardellini stars as Pamela Voorhees in “Crystal Lake,” the mother of Jason Voorhees and the killer from the original Friday the 13th movie. The character finally takes center stage in the upcoming Peacock series, and Cardellini teases what to expect in a new chat with Deadline.
“She’s important to the series, but sort of unexplored,” Cardellini tells the outlet. “So I thought that would be really, really fun, to do something I’d never done.”
The actress goes on to explain that “Crystal Lake” showrunner Brad Caleb Kane has “made sort of this mixtape of all the things that he would love to see happen for [Pamela Voorhees].”
“It goes all over the place for her character and it’s really fun,” Cardellini adds.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Linda Cardellini stars as Pamela Voorhees, a mother who gave up a singing career to raise her special needs child, only to take a dark turn when she loses her son — Jason.
From A24 and streamer Peacock, “Crystal Lake” will notably be the first official Friday the 13th project since the Platinum Dunes remake of the original classic way back in 2009.
