Dexter has officially been resurrected, but life is still as complicated for our favourite introspective serial killer. But as Dexter: Resurrection kicks off, at least he has some friends to keep him company this time… both old and new.
With Angel Batista back in his life – and extremely confused by how he managed to evade certain death after the end of the original series – Dexter is more concerned about giving his Detective pal the slip than catching up with him, especially as his son Harrison has disappeared.
Desperate to track his son down, Dexter makes his way to New York City – with Manhattan proving a playground for serial killers in the making.

When he was nearly caught, he faked his death (in the Dexter series finale) and made a new life for himself in Iron Lake, a small community in upstate New York (in Dexter: New Blood). After being left for dead from a shotgun wound administered by his son Harrison in that finale, he manages to survive – and that’s where we find him at the start of Dexter: Resurrection.
