Sharing a video from the set on the official Showtime Dexter Instagram account, Hall has also added that he was “looking forward to another thrill ride,” and let us tell you, so are the original show’s long-time fans.
While Reddit is filled with celebration and excitement, there are a few things to share about the upcoming show.

Several actors from the original and revival series will join Hall in ‘Dexter: Resurrection.’ David Zayas reprises his role as Angel Batista, while James Remar returns as Dexter’s adoptive father, Harry Morgan, Deadline reports. Jack Alcott, who played Dexter’s son Harrison in ‘New Blood,’ will also appear. Harrison’s complex relationship with his father will be central to the new story.
Clyde Phillips will serve as executive producer and showrunner, with Marcos Siega directing episodes. The production team will further include Hall, Scott Reynolds, Tony Hernandez, and Lilly Burns.

Dexter’s original story seemingly ended in ‘New Blood,’ with Harrison shooting him in a snowy field. However, Phillips hinted at his survival on several occasions, last confirming to The Hollywood Reporter that “if Dexter had been shot on a summer’s day, he would have died. But he was shot in zero-degree temperature in the snow. He didn’t bleed out and they were able to save him.”
In addition, ‘Dexter: Original Sin’ revealed that what seemed to be a fatal wound was a near-miss. So, the prequel consisted of flashbacks of Dexter’s early life as he was treated. Patrick Gibson played a younger version of Dexter.

According to previous explanations from the studio (via Radio Times), Hall’s comeback as Dexter Morgan will follow a similar release pattern as the original show and arrive on Paramount+ in summer. This will provide enough spacing from the new prequel ‘Original Sin,’ which is set to wrap its first season on February 14.
