Krysten Ritter, Neil Patrick Harris and Eric Stonestreet are also guest stars on the sequel series.

“Dexter: Resurrection” is not to be confused with “Dexter: Original Sin,” the 2024 prequel series that follows a young Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to serial killer. That show also sees Hall return as Dexter’s inner monologue.

“Resurrection” is one of many offshoots of “Dexter,” a hit serial killer drama that ran on Showtime for eight seasons, from 2006 to 2013. A sequel series, “Dexter: New Blood,” aired in 2021, also starring Hall as Dexter.

The series is executive produced by “Dexter” vet Clyde Phillips, who also returns to serve as showrunner. Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios serve as producers. Hall is an EP along with Scott Reynolds, Tony Hernandez and Lilly Burns, with Marcos Siega serving as producing director. Monica Raymund will direct four episodes, and Siega will direct six episodes for the series, which is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Aside from headlining the 2023 horror “Late Night With the Devil,” Dastmalchian is best known for his roles in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and “The Dark Knight.” His other credits include “The Suicide Squad,” “Dune” and the upcoming “Life of Chuck.”

Dastmalchian is repped by Atlas Artists, Persona PR and attorney Duncan Hedges.
