Back From the Dead
Dexter Morgan is dead … or is he? Michael C. Hall is back as the eponymous serial killer in the highly anticipated sequel series Dexter: Resurrection. Billed as a continuation of Dexter: New Blood, the 10-episode show takes place weeks after Harrison, Dexter’s son, shoots him in the chest.

Here’s an official synopsis per Paramount:
“Dexter: Resurrection, a continuation of Dexter: New Blood, takes place weeks after Dexter Morgan (Hall) takes a bullet to the chest from his own son, as he awakens from a coma to find Harrison (Jack Alcott) gone without a trace. Realizing the weight of what he put his son through, Dexter sets out for New York City, determined to find him and make things right. But closure won’t come easy.
When Miami Metro’s Angel Batista (David Zayas) arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching up to him fast. As father and son navigate their own darkness in the city that never sleeps, they soon find themselves deeper than they ever imagined – and that the only way out is together.”
