Dexter: Resurrection May Also Be Set in This Exciting Location

Overview

Filming for Dexter: Resurrection is currently taking place in New York, with indications that Miami may also play a role in the upcoming series.
Fans are eager for a Miami return, as it holds nostalgic value, with possibilities for scenes either as flashbacks or current events.
The storyline may explore Dexter’s past actions in Miami, potentially bringing him face-to-face with his history and consequences.

Dexter: Resurrection continues the saga of the infamous serial killer with a moral code, reflecting on his gunshot wound recovery in Iron Lake. The show is presently being filmed in the New York region, but a recent leak has suggested that some sequences may indeed take place in Miami, the location of Dexter’s early criminal exploits. This potential revisit to Miami ignites excitement among fans who long to see the character reconnected with his roots.

The allure of Miami as a setting cannot be overstated; it has been an integral part of the Dexter narrative, serving as more than just a backdrop. Following the prequel series Original Sin, which captured the essence of Miami during the 1990s, a return to this vibrant city is highly anticipated. But the extent of its role in the new series remains uncertain.

Dexter, portrayed by Michael C. Hall, is closely tied to Miami. However, the limited series New Blood, which debuted in 2021, depicted the character living in Iron Lake, New York, after evading death in the much-criticized series finale of 2013. Despite the ongoing New York filming, excitement surged when Dexter Daily revealed a casting call for Latino actors portraying Miami Lounge Patrons, indicating that a portion of the story may indeed be set in Miami.

What the Miami Scenes Could Represent: Flashbacks or Present Day?

There is speculation regarding whether the Miami scene will occur in the present timeline or serve as a flashback, as suggested by Dexter Daily. Fans are eager for Miami’s return and the possibility of revisiting its vibrant culture after more than a decade. If no additional casting calls emerge for further Miami scenes, this particular sequence may not reach the iconic locales associated with Dexter’s past. Nevertheless, the idea of Miami appearing in some capacity remains thrilling.

Characters like Joey Quinn and Vince Masuka are still linked to Miami Metro Homicide, though their return in Resurrection has yet to be confirmed. However, given that sets previously designed for Original Sin could easily be updated to reflect a 2025 aesthetic, the likelihood of Miami being included—whether through flashbacks or present-day encounters—remains strong.

Moreover, David Zayas will reprise his role as Angel Batista, likely navigating events in New York as he seeks to hold Dexter accountable for his past. Yet, it’s entirely possible for Batista’s storyline to intertwine with Miami at some juncture during the series. Michael C. Hall hinted to Variety about multiple seasons planned, suggesting that a return to Miami is not just a possibility, but a likely scenario where Dexter may finally confront the repercussions of his actions.
