What to expect in Dexter: Resurrection's premiere
Dexter continues just weeks after the end of Dexter: New Blood, providing a thrilling continuation of the saga of the titular character. The show begins with a cliffhanger: Dexter has survived the gunshot wound that his son Harrison had given him. Recovered barely alive and pulled back from the edge in freezing temperatures, he emerges from a coma to find that his son has disappeared without leaving a trace.
Tormented by the emotional and psychological damage he's caused his son, Dexter is compelled to seek out Harrison and atone. His quest leads him to New York City, a location offering fresh threats, temptations, and the ever-present risk of exposure. But his past is close behind. Angel Batista (David Zayas) of Miami Metro appears on the scene with questions threatening to dismantle everything he has worked to rebuild.
The logline for the new series reads,
“Dexter: Resurrection, a continuation of Dexter: New Blood, takes place weeks after Dexter Morgan takes a bullet to the chest from his own son, as he awakens from a coma to find Harrison gone without a trace. Realizing the weight of what he put his son through, Dexter sets out for New York City, determined to find him and make things right. But closure won’t come easy. When Miami Metro’s Angel Batista arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching up to him fast. As father and son navigate their own darkness in the city that never sleeps, they soon find themselves deeper than they ever imagined — and that the only way out is together.”
