While it was announced that after a very popular season, Dexter: Resurrection would be back for season 2, when that season will arrive is another story entirely.

No date has been announced, but using some math, I believe we can narrow down a release date for season 2 and see how long we’ll have to wait for more Dexter: Resurrection. Here’s what we know:

That’s a range of 2 years and 4 months to just 9 months. Big difference!

However, I’m going to lean more toward the Original Sin side of things rather than New Blood. Namely, New Blood was the first time a Dexter team would reassemble since the June 2013 premiere of the final season of the show (though longer than that, as most of the original team wasn’t on the show by that point). After that, it would be far easier to have the team already together for Original Sin, and then Resurrection thereafter. Additionally, New Blood was developed during the writer’s strike, meaning everything was on hold for several months, but the delay could stretch production time even past that.

I am willing to bet that, despite it being unusual in the streaming landscape, that it’s likely that there will be just a year between Dexter: Resurrection seasons 1 and 2, which would make that July 2026. This also seems possible given that from 2006 to 2013, 12-episode seasons of Dexter were out every year almost to the day, minus season 8 which somehow got there in closer to 10 months. Meanwhile, Dexter: Resurrection has two fewer episodes to film with its 10-episode season. It also may be able to pull resources from Original Sin, as season 2 of that show was greenlit, then cancelled as it seemed Showtime wanted to put everything into the more widely-watched and excellently-reviewed Resurrection. Too bad for that team, as they did a great job.

I do not think we’ll have to wait much more than a year for Dexter: Resurrection season 2, if all goes well. Fingers crossed that we can get a rare treat in the streaming era that’s addicted to 2+ year gaps.
