NYC becomes Dexter's new playground in dark and bloody Dexter: Resurrection trailer

The highly anticipated Paramount + Showtime's crime drama series, Dexter: Resurrection, is almost here! Ahead of its two-episode premiere, scheduled for July 11, 2025, the streaming platform released an intense trailer during a special presentation at CCXP in Mexico City.

Dexter: Resurrection follows the aftermath of the events of Dexter: New Blood. The newly-released trailer gives us a sneak peek of the upcoming series. Dexter, portrayed by Michael C. Hall, survives after being shot by his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott). He finally awakens from a coma and utters,

"Somebody once told me that you have to go through hell to achieve resurrection."

The search for his son leads him to New York City, where the past quickly catches up and dangers multiply. As he drives to New York City, he murmurs to himself,

"What better place to hide?"

The camera pans towards an aerial view of New York City as we see Dexter in a cab. The production is currently underway in NYC, which serves as both a setting and a character in the trailer. The dense, towering environment of New York marks a shift from the sun-soaked Miami setting. Dexter remarks "Only in New York," in the trailer, signals the city's unpredictability and the upcoming chaos set to unfold.
