The highly anticipated sequel series Dexter: Resurrection will reportedly revisit a key location from the original show. Dexter remains one of the most iconic crime thrillers, known for its intense drama, complex characters, and deep moral dilemmas. The original series, which aired from 2006 to 2013, was set in Miami, a location that played a crucial role in shaping the show’s atmosphere. With its Cuban culture, diverse characters, and sweltering heat, Miami became an essential backdrop for the story. Fans recently experienced a return to this setting in the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin, and now, Resurrection seems poised to follow suit.
A Change of Setting in Dexter’s Story
When Dexter: New Blood premiered, it took the story far from Miami. The show followed Dexter Morgan after he faked his death and moved to the Pacific Northwest, specifically to the fictional town of Iron Lake in upstate New York. The snowy environment served as a stark contrast to Miami, reinforcing Dexter’s attempt to escape his past. However, Dexter: Resurrection is set to once again place the titular character in a new, unfamiliar setting, likely presenting fresh challenges for the anti-hero.
Miami Scenes Confirmed for Dexter: Resurrection
Recent reports suggest that Dexter: Resurrection will feature scenes set in Miami. According to fan site Dexter Daily, a casting call for the series is seeking Latino and Latina extras to portray patrons at a “Miami lounge.” While the scenes will be filmed in Manhattan, New York, it’s likely they will be shot on a sound stage designed to replicate the Miami atmosphere. This method aligns with past productions, where most Miami scenes in Dexter were filmed in California, particularly in Long Beach. Similarly, New Blood included a Miami flashback that was largely shot indoors, with only a few exterior shots taken in Massachusetts.
Returning Characters and Potential Storylines
The return to Miami raises speculation about which characters may appear in these scenes. Dexter: Resurrection has already confirmed that Angel Batista, a fan-favorite character, will return as a series regular. This opens the possibility of seeing other familiar faces from the Miami Metro Police Department. One name frequently discussed is Joey Quinn, a detective who played a significant role in the original series. Actor Desmond Harrington has remained tight-lipped about his involvement, fueling speculation about whether his character will return.
Additionally, Dexter: Resurrection will introduce new cast members, including Peter Dinklage as the main antagonist and Uma Thurman as his right-hand woman. James Remar will reprise his role as Harry Morgan, and Jack Alcott will return as Harrison Morgan. The series is expected to pick up after Dexter’s near-fatal gunshot wound, with him awakening in a hospital. Reports suggest he will escape police custody and attempt to reunite with his son in New York City, setting the stage for further chaos.
What’s Next for Dexter: Resurrection?
Showtime reportedly has long-term plans for Dexter: Resurrection, with multiple seasons being considered. If all goes well, fans can expect Michael C. Hall to return as Dexter Morgan for years to come. Until then, viewers will have to wait patiently for the show’s official premiere this summer.
