Series continuation
'Dexter: Resurrection' will continue the story of Dexter Morgan
Dexter: Resurrection will pick up the story of Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C Hall). The character's survival was revealed in a prequel series called Dexter: Original Sin, where it was revealed that he was saved by emergency room doctors after a near-fatal gunshot wound. The sequel will be released in June 2025 and will see Dexter return to his murderous ways.
Character significance
Remar's character Harry Morgan has a significant role
In the original Dexter series, Remar's character Harry Morgan was an integral part of the show as a guiding figure for Dexter, frequently appearing in flashbacks and as a ghost. However, his absence was felt in the recent series Dexter: New Blood where he was replaced by Deb, Dexter's deceased sister played by Jennifer Carpenter. Harry's return in Dexter: Resurrection hints that Dexter may turn to his father for guidance once again.
