July 26, 2024 – San Diego – As part of its expanding DEXTER Universe, SHOWTIME announced the return of Michael C. Hall in the new series DEXTER: RESURRECTION and the previously announced origin story DEXTER: ORIGINAL SIN. The announcement was made by a surprise appearance from Executive Producer and star Michael C Hall (DEXTER, SIX FEET UNDER) alongside Executive Producer and Showrunner Clyde Phillips (DEXTER, NURSE JACKIE) at San Diego Comic Con during the DEXTER: ORIGINAL SIN panel, which is currently in production. 

Golden Globe^® and SAG Winner Michael C. Hall will return as Dexter Morgan in both series – he will star in DEXTER: RESURRECTION set in the present day and narrate the inner voice of a young Dexter (played by Patrick Gibson) in DEXTER: ORIGINAL SIN which takes place in the 90s.

"We are thrilled to have the brilliant Michael C. Hall reprise his iconic role as Dexter Morgan in Showtime's most successful series ever,” said Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO, Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios.  “While DEXTER: RESURRECTIONwill appeal to the tens of millions of longtime fans, DEXTER: ORIGINAL SIN will introduce a whole new generation of viewers into this iconic series by starting from the beginning, which is sure to satisfy existing audiences as well.”

DEXTER premiered in the fall of 2006 and ran for eight seasons where it captured millions of fans and instantly became a cult classic.  At the end of its run, DEXTER was the #1 SHOWTIME original and since then, has been seen in encores around the world. Over time, it has built a rabid and loyal fan base in the tens of millions.   In 2021, DEXTER: NEW BLOOD premiered, a limited series set ten years after the conclusion of the original, and instantly became SHOWTIME's most watched and most streamed original ever.

All previous seasons of DEXTER and DEXTER: NEW BLOOD are now available for subscribers on Paramount+ with the Paramount+ with Showtime plan.
