According to the show’s creative team, Dexter: Resurrection is all set to return with its second season on Paramount+ in October 2026. After months of speculation, the deadline has finally been decided.
Filming is scheduled to begin in spring 2026, putting the series on a steady schedule from year to year.
What to Expect from Dexter: Resurrection Season 2?
Showrunner Clyde Phillips confirmed that cameras on the Love It Film Podcast will begin rolling on April 13, 2026. Shooting will take place in New York City, the same setting that was used for the majority of Season 1.
As Screen Rant reports, the second season will run for 10 episodes, matching the structure of the previous installment. Post-production is expected to last through the summer, in line with an October 2026 release window.
Michael C. Hall returns as Dexter Morgan. He is also attached as an executive producer and is continuing his expanded role in shaping the direction of the series.
where the story ended
Season 1 ended without any conclusion. Dexter survived, his identity intact, and the consequences remained unsolved. That ending was intentional.
According to those involved, the goal was never to have a closed loop. According to Red94, season 2 is expected to pick up directly from those loose threads – personal risks, unfulfilled relationships, and the question of how long Dexter can remain hidden.
The returning cast includes Jack Alcott and James Remar as well as several familiar faces from the first season. Their arcs, intentionally left open, are expected to deepen rather than reset.
When will production begin on Dexter: Resurrection Season 2?
Director Marcos Siega is once again involved, maintaining visual continuity. The production timeline mirrors Season 1, although the writers have hinted at a broader narrative base this time.
There is no indication of a short run or experimental format. It is a continuation, not a reinvention.

Between now and release, there is a long period of peace. No teaser date has been announced. No episode title or opening footage has been released.
The series remains Paramount+’s primary investment in the Dexter universe after the prequel project – Dexter: Original Sin – was canceled in early August, Variety reports. Internally, there has been a focus on stability with fewer spin-offs and tighter storytelling.
At present the path is clear. Dexter Morgan will return again in October 2026. Filming is expected to begin in early 2026, followed by post-production by summer.
