‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Adds ‘Dexter’ Originals David Zayas and James Remar

The ever-expanding Dexter franchise is bringing James Remar and David Zayas back into the fold with Dexter: Resurrection. Remar will reprise his role as Dexter’s deceased dad and mentor, Harry. Zayas returns as Detective Angel Batista, a character he played in nearly 100 episodes of the original series.

Michael C. Hall leads the cast as serial killer Dexter Morgan, and Jack Alcott’s back as his son, Harrison, a role he played in Dexter: New Blood. Clyde Phillips (Dexter, Dexter: Original Sin) guides the series as showrunner. Phillips also serves as an executive producer along with Michael C. Hall, Scott Reynolds (Jessica Jones), Tony Hernandez (Emily in Paris), and Lilly Burns (Russian Doll).

Marcos Siega (Dexter: New Blood) is involved as a producing director. The latest addition to the franchise is produced by SHOWTIME Studios and Counterpart Studios.

Filming is expected to get underway this month, with Paramount+ with Showtime targeting a summer 2025 premiere. Details regarding the new series are being kept under wraps. However, it’s known that the series will be set after the events of Dexter: New Blood. Dexter was able to survive being shot by Harrison in the finale of New Blood only because the shooting took place in zero-degree weather.
