Dexter: Resurrection is one of the most anticipated thrillers today on all major worldwide streaming services due to the fact that Michael C. Hall will reprise his role as Dexter Morgan and have to deal with his Dark Passenger in New York City.

Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 Potential Plot
The storyline for this season picks up immediately after the conclusion of season one, with its base being central to New York City.
Without spoiling anything, some possible elements of the show would be Dexter (currently on the run), dealing with living on the run and trying to recreate his “Code”. There will be increased scrutiny from law enforcement (especially Angel Batista) towards Dexter. While there is a chance of continued tension between Dexter and Harrison. Classic Dexter elements will return (kill-room rituals and internal monologues), resulting in increasing psychological stakes with Dexter’s past catching up to him.
Clyde Phillips (the Showrunner) has stated that this season will have higher moral stakes, larger body counts, and stories created to honour the show franchise as it comes up to twenty years (2026).
A formal synopsis has not yet been produced for the second season, but it is intended to be a true continuation and not a wrap-up.
