Dexter: Resurrection Location Speculations and Insights

Overview of Dexter: Resurrection

Filming for Dexter: Resurrection is slated to commence next month, with a prospective release window set for June 2025.
Dexter: Original Sin confirmed Dexter’s revival, revealing that the character survived his injuries.
Although the setting appears to be primarily in NYC, there is speculation about Dexter returning to Miami later in the series.

The highly anticipated Dexter: Resurrection is nearing the start of its production phase, with filming expected to kick off next month and a tentative release date of June 2025. Writer and producer Scott Reynolds has recently shared updates on social media regarding location scouting in New York City, hinting at a backdrop change for Dexter Morgan’s latest chapter. Given that Dexter previously resided in upstate New York during the limited series, transitioning him to New York City would not be out of character.

Last week, Dexter: Original Sin debuted on Paramount+ in collaboration with Showtime, shedding light on Dexter’s fate. The series begins with a flashback to 1991, revealing young Dexter’s origins, featuring Patrick Gibson alongside the narration by Michael C. Hall, who will reprise his role in Resurrection.

In the previous installment, New Blood, Dexter Morgan lived in the fictional town of Iron Lake, New York. The season took a dramatic turn when his son, Harrison, unexpectedly arrived, leading to a confrontation that culminated in Harrison fatally shooting Dexter. Originally led to believe Dexter was dead, fans were shocked to learn through Original Sin that he had been revived after being rushed to a hospital. The pressing question is: Where will Dexter find himself in Resurrection?

Reynolds has hinted on his X account about exploring NYC, saying, “Scouting in gloomy NYC. It’s gorgeous out here.”

As filming approaches, it seems logical to assume the scouting in New York City aligns with this project. While Dexter may initially recover in Iron Lake, speculations abound regarding his journey thereafter. Will city life influence his psyche, or will he ultimately long for the familiarity of Miami?

Dexter’s Potential Return to Miami

Imagining Dexter’s life in the bustling environment of New York is intriguing; however, many fans eagerly anticipate his return to Miami. Speculation suggests that while New York City is an exciting backdrop, there may be plot reasons to transfer the action back to Miami. Notably, as revealed in New Blood, former detective Angel Batista is en route to confront Dexter after uncovering his identity as the Bay Harbor Butcher. Such a development may necessitate Dexter returning to his past.

Should Dexter face repercussions for his past deeds, Miami remains a likely location for any legal proceedings. However, it’s anticipated that surprises may keep Miami under wraps until later seasons, as revealing too much could spoil the narrative.

The New York scouting may also serve as a diversion, with significant interior scenes filmed in closed sets similar to previous productions. Although Hall made a nostalgic visit to the iconic Miami Metro set during the filming of Original Sin, this visit alone does not confirm any significant plot development tied to his Miami roots.

For many fans, any hint of a Miami return sparks excitement, but this remains unanswered until further details about the sequel series surface. The unfolding story promises to be an exhilarating journey as we await its official release.
