The trailer for season 2 of Dexter: Resurrection

Vidéo · 2:00

The video lasts two minutes. In it, Dexter has an eye test at an optician's, then tries on a pair of glasses. He is also shown in a room covered in plastic sheeting, with his knives laid out in a row, and next to Charley, played by Uma Thurman, in front of a red curtain. It ends with the date of 30 October and the line "Some things get better with age".

This season, Dexter is caught between two killers: one has decades of murders behind him, the other is a young newcomer terrorising New York. He also has to face an unexpected opponent, his midlife crisis. His son Harrison, played by Jack Alcott, has joined the New York police and is pursuing his own search for justice.

Brian Cox and Dan Stevens, the two new killers

Brian Cox plays the killer known as the New York Ripper, who was active in the city years earlier. In the trailer, his character sits at a table opposite a man in a suit and a woman. Dan Stevens plays Owen Stark, the Five Borough Killer, named after the five boroughs of New York; he appears in a church. A third serial killer also appears: Ray Ballard, known as The Sleepy-Eyed Stranger, played by Gabriel Luna as a guest star.

Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusa and James Remar are back. Desmond Harrington, who plays Joey Quinn, Dexter's former colleague at the Miami police, is now part of the main cast. Krysten Ritter, whose character Mia died in season 1, also appears in the trailer; her role in season 2 has not been specified. Bokeem Woodbine, as Captain Mixon, and Nona Parker Johnson join the series.

Dexter turns 20

The first episode of Dexter was broadcast on Showtime on 1 October 2006. Michael C. Hall already played Dexter Morgan, a blood spatter analyst for the Miami police and, in secret, a serial killer. Twenty years later, he still plays the role in Dexter: Resurrection, whose showrunner is Clyde Phillips.

Season 2 has 10 episodes, released at a rate of one a week from 30 October 2026 on Paramount+ in the United States, as part of its Premium plan. In France, the series is broadcast by Canal+, and the date for season 2 there has not yet been announced. No UK date has been given in the announcement either.

For collectors, Funko is releasing two new Dexter Morgan figures this autumn.

Funko POP 2026: Dexter Morgan in two versions (#1697 and #1944)

Both figures are exclusives from Funko's online shop, expected in October 2026 and covered in our article on Dexter POP pre-orders. The #1697, from the POP Moment range, stands 4.3 in (10.9 cm) tall and recreates the room where Dexter kills his victims: wearing an apron and holding a knife, he leans over a man lying on a table, wrapped in a white sheet, in front of plastic sheeting.

Standing 4.1 in (10.4 cm) tall, the #1944 shows him standing, wearing black gloves and holding a syringe filled with a green liquid.

The Dexter Funko POP figures released or announced in 2026 are listed below, with offers from partner shops.
