‘I’m a healthier person for playing a serial killer’: Michael C Hall on Dexter’s wildly improbable return | Michael C Hall

Dexter’s Back: Serial Killer Resurrected (Again!)

Just when everyone thought he was gone for good, **Dexter Morgan** is making yet another comeback. This time, **Michael C Hall** is spearheading Dexter: Resurrection, teasing warped bonding with his son and luring big names into a twisted plot.

Hall Revives Dexter – By His Own Suggestion

**Michael C Hall**, who plays the titular character, revealed that the revival was sparked by his own question: “What if he didn’t die?” The actor claims he can’t take full credit but casually floated the idea that the ending of New Blood could free **Dexter** from his burdens.

A Family Affair, With a Twist

**Hall** says that time, perspective, and the chance to collaborate with the old crew again changed his mind. According to **Hall**, his character initially hesitates to reconnect with his son, fearing rejection, but “finding themselves on the other side of this traumatic event will result in both **Dexter** and his son growing up a little bit.”

New Faces, Dark Places

The new season will also introduce a host of new characters, with **Peter Dinklage** and **Uma Thurman** playing a billionaire venture capitalist and his security head, respectively. **Neil Patrick Harris**, **Eric Stonestreet**, **Krysten Ritter**, and **David Dastmalchian** are also slated to appear as villains invited to an international murder convention.

Hall Addresses “Dexter” Legacy

When asked about the darkness of playing a serial killer, **Hall** suggests, “Maybe I’m a healthier person for having done all this.” He acknowledges the inevitability of being defined by the role but seems at peace with it.

Furthermore, despite some negative reactions, **Hall** does not follow internet commentary closely, explaining, “No, that would make me crazy,” though adding that some fans found **Dexter** surviving more plausible than dying.

Future of “Resurrection”

Dexter: Resurrection is designed to be a long-running show, with guest stars appearing over several years. According to a USA Today article from last year, the comeback’s duration depends on **Michael C Hall** (USA Today, 2023).

As of 2023, Paramount+ reported 63 million subscribers, underlining the potential reach and impact of the show’s return (Statista).
