Warning: This Article Contains Potential Spoilers
The highly anticipated new installment in the Dexter franchise is now 12 weeks into production, and on Monday, several brand-new set photos surfaced online, offering fans a fascinating glimpse at a rather unexpected outfit for Dexter Morgan.
New Set Photos Reveal a Surprising Look for Dexter
As filming continues in New York City’s bustling streets, keeping everything under wraps has become nearly impossible. With today’s technology and high-powered smartphone zoom lenses, behind-the-scenes photo reveals are inevitable.
The latest set of images, taken on March 31, show Michael C. Hall dressed in a sharp business suit—a look that instantly sparked fan theories across social media.
Fan Theory: Is Dexter Morgan on Trial?
After the release of these images, many fans speculated that Dexter is facing trial in an upcoming episode of Dexter: Resurrection—which would explain his formal attire. However, this theory does not seem to hold up.
In the same photos, Dexter is seen alongside Gareth, a mysterious new character played by actor David Dastmalchian, one of the newest cast additions to the sequel series. The duo is spotted leaving McNally Jackson Books, a well-known independent bookstore in the heart of New York City. It remains unclear whether the scene takes place inside or outside the bookstore, but they appear to be in a serious situation—potentially on a mission of some sort.
A Possible Action Scene?
Adding to the intrigue, David Dastmalchian has a stunt double on set, who of course bears an uncanny resemblance to him. This detail hints that an action sequence may be unfolding in this particular scene.

Interestingly, both Marcos Siega and Monica Raymund, the directors of Dexter: Resurrection Season 1, were present at the filming location. While their dual presence is somewhat unusual, one of the images suggests that Raymund might be directing this scene.
