Dexter: Resurrection Gets Season 2 Release Date Update From Creator

by

The creator of *Dexter: Resurrection*, Clyde Phillips, has given fans a general timeframe for Season 2, though it won’t arrive immediately. It’s become common for popular TV shows to have long gaps between seasons – *Stranger Things* will have a three-year wait between seasons four and five, *House of the Dragon* two years between seasons two and three, and *The Last of Us* also had a two-year gap. This is a change from the past, when seasons were typically a year apart and contained more episodes.

Despite the cancellation, some fans are optimistic that a potential second season of *Dexter: Resurrection* wouldn’t face significant delays. The show is created by experienced television professionals who successfully produced the original *Dexter* for nearly ten years. Plus, it doesn’t rely heavily on special effects, which allows for faster filming and editing. The first season, for example, filmed from January to June and premiered in July – a remarkably quick turnaround for a major production.

Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 Won’t Release Next Summer (But For Good Reason)

Recently, the showrunner for *Dexter: Resurrection*, Clyde Phillips, discussed future seasons on the Dissecting Dexter podcast. When asked about the release schedule, he indicated new seasons will likely come out yearly, but not exactly 12 months apart. While Paramount has the final say, Phillips confirmed writing for Season 2 will begin in early October, with filming planned for next spring.

Phillips announced that filming will begin next spring and continue into next summer, though the show won’t be broadcast until after filming is complete. The writing team starts work on October 6th and will continue through the holidays and into early spring, followed by initial planning for sets, stages, and locations. Casting will begin after that, paving the way for the start of filming.

Considering how quickly the team produced and released the first season of *Dexter: Resurrection*, a second season could arrive in October or November 2026. Previous *Dexter* series, including *New Blood* and *Original Sin*, were released in the fall and winter, suggesting Paramount+ may aim for a similar release timeframe to capitalize on viewers staying in during colder weather.

According to Phillips, *Dexter: Resurrection* is planned to last for at least three seasons, as both he and Michael C. Hall are contracted for that length of time. While the details of Season 2 aren’t fully worked out yet, they have a general idea of the storyline and hinted at a major villain, alongside smaller antagonists for Dexter to confront each week.

Alongside this announcement, Phillips openly shared his feelings about the cancellation of *Dexter: Original Sin*. He wasn’t happy with how the decision was made and explained the plans he had for the show’s future seasons.
