Dexter: Resurrection is available on Paramount Plus with an active subscription
Dexter: Resurrection, the revival series continuing the story of serial killer Dexter Morgan, streams on Paramount Plus. The show began airing in fall 2024 and new episodes release weekly on the platform. You need an active Paramount Plus subscription to watch — the show is not available for free, and it is not included in the ad-supported tier as a catch-up option for older seasons.
The series picks up ten years after the original Dexter finale and follows Dexter as he attempts to live a quiet life under an assumed identity. The revival was created by Clyde Phillips, who also ran the original series, and stars Michael C. Hall reprising his role as Dexter Morgan.
