Dexter: Resurrection is set to bring back the homicidal hero Dexter Morgan. The upcoming series is a sequel to Dexter: New Blood, which was initially thought to mark the end of Dexter's (Michael C. Hall) story. However, the announcement of this new series confirms that Dexter's journey is far from over.
Dexter: New Blood's finale aired approximately three years ago. In that episode, Dexter was first arrested for the murder of Max Caldwell and then shot by his own son, Harrison Morgan (Jack Alcott). This ending was shocking but important because if the story were to end there, it would have been satisfactory.
However, the ending was notably ambiguous, which paved the way for Dexter: Resurrection. Keep reading to learn more about the upcoming crime drama show.
