Michael C. Hall to reprise ‘Dexter’ role for two new series
Michael C. Hall is officially back as Dexter Morgan.
During a surprise appearance at the San Diego Comic Con on Friday (July 26), Hall confirmed that he will be returning as serial killer Dexter Morgan for not one, but two upcoming series.
The actor is due to lend his voice to the character’s inner monologue in the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin. The prequel series will take place 15 years before the events of the original series. Patrick Gibson is slated to portray the younger version of Dexter Morgan. Original Sin is due to premiere later this year.
Hall is also confirmed to return onscreen as Morgan in Dexter: Resurrection, a sequel series that follows 2021’s first sequel series Dexter: New Blood. Details surrounding Resurrection are currently under wraps, but is expected to premiere sometime in 2025.
Michael C. Hall famously starred in the hit Showtime series between 2006 and 2013 for eight seasons. In 2021, the show was revived in the form of a sequel series, New Blood, that took place a decade after the original series’ conclusion.
In a four-star review of Dexter: New Blood, James McMahon wrote for NME: “The narrative goes that producers left Dexter’s original ending ambiguous because they couldn’t justify permanently extinguishing a hit show. Dexter: New Blood is an opportunity for the character to end his arc with a finale worthy of the viewer’s time. It’s also an opportunity for some moral complexity and much needed edge to infuse pop culture within an increasingly homogenous time.”
