Dexter: Resurrection S01E06: Check Out Our "Cats and Mouse" Preview

Here's our updated look at Showrunner Clyde Phillips and series star/EP Michael C. Hall's Dexter: Resurrection S01E06: "Cats and Mouse."



Article Summary

  • Dexter: Resurrection S01E06 "Cats and Mouse" teases major threats to Dexter's secret in New York City
  • Angel Batista connects Bay Harbor Butcher clues to new killings, closing in on Dexter as the pressure mounts
  • Harrison faces his own identity crisis amid dangerous new serial killers and unresolved family darkness
  • Sneak peeks and episode trailers build suspense for high-stakes confrontations and shifting alliances

As much as we don't want to set ourselves up for heartbreak for a third time, Paramount+ with Showtime, Showrunner Clyde Phillips, and series star/EP Michael C. Hall's Dexter: Resurrection is giving us the same vibes that we used to love getting from the original series. You know, that sense of, "How the f**k is Dexter Morgan going to get himself out of this one?!?" only to have our minds blown by the directions the storylines take us. Heading into this week's episode, S01E06: "Cats and Mouse," we can't shake this feeling that Dexter's identity is about to be exposed. Going into the season, we had this "worst case" scenario in our heads that had Dexter on the run while trying to take out a team of serial killers that had him as their target. With that in mind, we have the official overview, image gallery, and episode trailer for S01E06: "Cats and Mouse." In addition, we have a sneak peek that's a not-so-friendly reminder for Dexter that Batista (David Zayas) is going to be a huge problem… especially when he rolls out his theory about the Bay Harbor Butcher and the NYC killings to Wallace (Kadia Saraf) and Oliva (Dominic Fumusa).

Dexter: Resurrection Season 1 Episode 6: "Cats and Mouse"

Dexter: Resurrection Season 1 Episode 6: "Cats and Mouse" – As Dexter (Michael C. Hall) closes in on a narcissistic murderer, Harrison (Jack Alcott) faces a crisis of identity while trying to find his place in the world; Batista (David Zayas) pursues the connection between the Bay Harbor Butcher and the recent killings in NYC. Directed by Marcos Siega and written by Kirsa Rein.

In the follow-up to the original series and Dexter: New Blood, Dexter: Resurrection takes place weeks after Dexter Morgan (Hall) takes a bullet to the chest from his own son, as he awakens from a coma to find Harrison gone without a trace. Realizing the weight of what he put his son through, Dexter sets out for New York City, determined to find him and make things right. But closure won't come easily. When Miami Metro's Angel Batista arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching up to him fast. As father and son navigate their own darkness in the city that never sleeps, they soon find themselves deeper than they ever imagined – and that the only way out is together.
