Dexter: Resurrection: Marcos Siega "Jumping Back Into the Dexterverse"
Director and executive producer Marcos Siega took to social media to share a look at the cover of Dexter: Resurrection Ep. 101, which he's directing.
It was over the summer – during San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC 2024) – when some big news dropped involving EP and star Michael C Hall and the "Dexter" universe. That's when we learned that not only had Hall joined the cast of Paramount+ with Showtime and Showrunner/EP Clyde Phillips' (Dexter, Nurse Jackie) Patrick Gibson-starring Dexter: Original Sin as the inner voice of Gibson's young Dexter Morgan, but also that Hall would be returning as the main man for Dexter: Resurrection – a title that has fans dialing up their radars to try and figure out where things could be going from here.
Now, "Dexter" Universe director and executive producer Marcos Siega is checking in on social media, offering fans a heads-up that he's "Jumping back into the Dexterverse." In the image that was posted, Siega shared a look at the cover of the script to the first episode of "Resurrection" – confirming that he's directing (while covering up some potentially spoilery stuff):
