Who is the most enduring fictional serial killer of all time? Hannibal Lecter? Patrick Bateman? Michael Myers? While all are valid choices, they might not hold a candle to Dexter Morgan. Death simply doesn’t stick.
After charming global audiences in Dexter and Dexter: New Blood, Michael C. Hall’s popular character returned last year in Dexter: Resurrection. Available to stream on Paramount+ in the UK, the series recently premiered its second season. Could more installments be on the way? Here’s what we know so far.
Dexter: Resurrection Season 3 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no official news available about a potential Dexter: Resurrection season 3.
That said, the second season is just getting started, so there’s plenty of time for a renewal announcement down the line. Reviews for the show continue to be good and, as long as people keep tuning in, we don’t see why Paramount+ would pull the plug on the series. Writer Scott Reynolds seemed hopeful in a recent interview.
“If we get picked up for season 3, we can talk about Dexter, about his legacy,” he teased.
A third season could arrive in late 2027.

What Is Dexter: Resurrection About?
Dexter: Resurrection revolves around Dexter Morgan, the forensic blood-spatter analyst turned serial killer. He spent years secretly murdering other murderers while trying to maintain the appearance of an ordinary life. The series picks up after the events of Dexter: New Blood.
In the first season, Dexter wakes up from a coma and follows his son Harrison to New York, hoping to repair their relationship. Once there, he discovers a secret society of wealthy serial-killer enthusiasts. Dexter is initially fascinated by the group, but soon realises that its members are every bit as dangerous as they are disturbed. As far as he’s concerned, several would make excellent candidates for his kill table.
Fast-forward to season 2, and Dexter is experiencing a midlife crisis. He’s killed plenty of monsters, but he’s starting to wonder what the point of it all is. Meanwhile, Harrison is establishing himself as a police officer, and two interesting new antagonists enter the fold.
While Dexter: Resurrection season 3 isn’t a sure bet just yet, you can catch season 2 episodes weekly on Paramount+ until January 2027.
