Summary
While there are many morally complex and unique TV drama characters, Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) on the popular Showtime seriesDexteris one of the best. After the original show ended in 2013, fans had to wait a few years forDexter: New Blood, the spinoff show that continued the shocking story of this captivating serial killer. Now there are two new shows in the works and viewers will see what Hall’s character is up to.
While fans are unsureifDexter: Original SignandDexter: Resurrectionare linked, there’s no denying thatfans wonder howDexter: Resurrectionwill pick up after the dramaticNew Bloodfinale.People have shared a few exciting fan theories on Reddit that suggest what could happen to this complicated character next.
What Are Some Dexter: Resurrection Fan Theories?
While there’s no doubt that Dexter Morgan will continue killing people in the new show, that’s about all that seems obvious. Given the shocking finale ofNew Blood, almost anything could happen next, which is why fans are so interested in sharing their ideas.Redditor @OnlyMyOpinionthinksDexter Morgan’s son Harrison should be his partnerinDexter: Resurrectionand wrote:
“I want Harrison to stay a main character. I want him to understand Dexter, feel guilt for what he did to him and start helping him out. Harrison could easily help Dexter out by hiding him and even with the kills by making sure nobody goes near him and covers for him.”
In thepremiere ofDexter: New Blood, it’s clear that Dexter’s son Harrison (Jack Alcott) will be an important part of the show. This adds another layer to Dexter’s storyline, just like it’s interesting to see Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) as a dad inYou. It makes sense that some want Harrison to return inDexter: Resurrection. SinceHarrison shot Dexter at the end ofNew Blood, they definitely have a complex, strange, and dangerous dynamic. While it would take some hard work for them to get to a good enough place to work together, it does seem like a possibility.
Dexterfans would also likely agree thatthe new show should explore Dexter and Harrison’s relationship. Even though this was a central theme inDexter: New Blood, the ending of the sequel show proves that fans still have some big questions. Everyone wants to know what Harrison actually thinks about his father’s dark activities and if he has any of those disturbing thoughts, too. There is a lot more that could be done with Harrison.
Redditor @Ok_Nature_6305 thinksDexter: Resurrectionneeds to be different from the original seriesand should be set in a unique location. While some thinkthe new show should also take place in Miami, since this is where the character’s journey has always been set, this fan theory suggests that Dexter could move to a new country. The fan wrote:
“They can’t recreate the magic of Miami and him being in blood spatter. They tries small town. They need an international setting and him killing bad guys for the government. If he sneaks in a few of his own kills? All the more fun.”
This is an interesting fan theory since it could go a few different ways. Dexter could be living in a new place under an alias or be on the run and travel from city to city. Either way,Dexter’s past would inevitably come back to haunt him.
What Has Been Revealed About Dexter: Resurrection?
According toUproxx.com,Dexter: Resurrectionwill be released in 2025. But besides Michael C. Hall coming back to play his famous character Dexter Morgan, no other cast members have been shared as of now.
Hall spoke toEntertainment Weeklyaboutvoicing Dexter in the prequelDexter: Original Sinand playing him inDexter: Resurrection. While he was quiet about story details or what people could expect, it’s interesting to hear him describe the experience of returning to this complex character. There’s no doubt that Dexter is one of the most unique TV drama characters. Hall said:
“The scripts they’ve executed are fantastic. I can’t wait, like as a fan, to watch it, and as an actor, to spend time seeing real footage of things that I’ve sort of tried to imagine for myself when I imagine what Dexter’s early days [were like], now I’m going to have this technicolor version of his memories to refer to. And I think it will help inform my experience of whatever comes next in the other series, which I can only speak vaguely about at this point.”
