They can't get rid of him that easily. Dexter Morgan is back from the almost-dead (again) in the new spinoff/ sequel series Dexter: Resurrection, streaming on Paramount+ Premium. Following the events of Dexter: New Blood, everyone's favorite self-aware serial killer was left in a coma after being fatally shot in the heart by his own son. Now, ten weeks after, he awakens and heads to New York City to clean up after a murderous mess that he thinks his son made, make amends, and rebuild their father-son relationship. Of course, he can't escape his past and it seems that retirement isn't in the cards for him just yet.

While Dexter loves to do his work alone, this time around he's got some friends—old and new—to possibly help him out (but also maybe sabotage him?). And you're definitely gonna want to get to know this star-studded bunch.

Here is your guide to the cast and characters of Dexter: Resurrection.

Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan

Dexter isn't your run-of-the-mill serial killer. He's got a strict code of ethics, is meticulous, whip-smart, and extremely self-aware. And this actually his second time coming back from the dead, so he's trying to make good use of this third life and build a good relationship with his son. He has the chance to start anew, but it seems like the past keeps coming back to haunt him.

Golden Globe and SAG Award winner Michael C. Hall has been playing the iconic, titular role of Dexter since 2006. He's also starred in HBO series Six Feet Under, and numerous Broadway and off-Broadway productions.

Harrison is Dexter's son with his ex, Rita Bennett. He first lost contact with his father when Dexter faked his death at the end of the original series' eighth season, but they reconnect in New Blood. This, of course, does not end well as young Harry ends up putting a bullet in his own dad's chest. He's certainly a chip off the old block.

Jack Alcott reprises his role from Dexter: New Blood. Outside of the Dexter universe, the American actor is known for his role in Showtime miniseries The Good Lord Bird.
