Dexter: Resurrection Set for Season 2: "The Story Continues": Hall

Showrunner Clyde Phillips and star/EP Michael C. Hall's Dexter: Resurrection will be back for Season 2, with Hall sharing the news via video.

Despite the bad news that "Original Sin" wouldn't be back for a second season, even after initially receiving a Season 2 green light, there was strong buzz that work on a second season of Showrunner Clyde Phillips and series star/EP Michael C. Hall's Dexter: Resurrection was already loosely underway. Earlier today, the renewal became official, with Hall sharing the good news via video (which you can check out above). "We've been greenlit for another season. There's more to come. The writers' room is assembling now. Details will be forthcoming, but I wanted to be the first to let you know that the story continues," Hall shared.

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.
