Michael C. Hall discusses the newly announced Dexter sequel, Dexter: Resurrection.
Michael C. Hall stepped into Variety's video studio at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 yesterday to discuss the upcoming prequel Dexter: Original Sin and the surprising sequel Dexter: Resurrection.
"We just felt like there was more to explore. I think we've all been really amazed at how fertile the soil of 'Dexter' remains," Hall shared.
"Dexter: Resurrection" is set to debut in the summer of 2025 and, according to Hall, "will pick up right where we left off." The actor also revealed that this will likely be an ongoing drama rather than a limited series, with the potential for multiple seasons. Watch the full interview below!
At the end of Dexter: New Blood in January 2022, Dexter could communicate with Deb via his conscience. In the new series, there's a chance she could return again. "Never say never. This world has a sort of magical element, so I wouldn’t definitively say no to any proposition. There's a whole cast of characters that populate his wider world and have the potential to re-emerge," Hall hinted.
On Dexter's rising popularity Michael said: "I think there’s many different ways this show appeals to people as there are people who watch it. But I think maybe a biding thing is, in a world in which we feel a sense of being out of control people like spending time with a character who’s taking his own, unique control of his little corner of the world,” he explained. “I think we all have our shadow side that we contend with and Dexter’s is obviously a little weightier than most. People enjoy spending time with someone who is doing his best to take responsibility for that side in his sort of outside-the-box way and morally grey way. People, I think, relish the invitation to identify with someone who is contending with this much darkness, and maybe contending with it in a way that is arguably admirable — even though he’s doing what he’s doing."
