Season 1 of 'Dexter: Resurrection' is coming to an end as the revival series of the famous show has yet to be officially renewed by Paramount.. Now viewers are eager to know whether Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 is renewed or canceled by Paramount+.

Created by Clyde Phillips, the crime drama series centers on Dexter Morgan as he recovers from a fatal gunshot suffered in the prequel series. Morgan then tries to track down his missing son, while Captain Angel Batista is on a mission to capture them. As the series nears its end, many are eager to know the fate of the show.

Dexter: Resurrection episode 10 finale

Dexter: Resurrection reached a pivotal turning point with its Season 1 penultimate episode, “Touched by an Ángel,” and expectations are now sky-high as the series motors toward its dramatic finale. In a gut-wrenching twist during the August 29 episode, long-standing character Angel Batista (David Zayas) meets a tragic end. Strapped to Dexter’s infamous kill table, Batista is spared by Dexter—but then executed by the villainous Leon Prater, played by Peter Dinklage.

Zayas revealed that he was aware of Batista’s fate from the series’ outset. He described the development as “bittersweet,” yet narratively essential—and reflected with pride on his two-decade portrayal of the character.

Prater’s manipulative dominance was on full display. He forces Dexter into an impossible moral dilemma: kill Batista to join his corrupt network of killers or lose everything. Dexter ultimately refuses, setting off the deadly sequence that kills Batista. The episode ends with Dexter imprisoned and vulnerable, leaving fans anxious about his fate—and that of his son Harrison.

Set to air on Friday, September 5, the Season 1 finale titled “And Justice For All…” promises to escalate the conflict further. According to official previews, the episode will spotlight Charley’s crumbling loyalty to Prater and a climactic showdown between Dexter and Harrison as they face the fallout of their darkness.

'Dexter: Resurrection for Season 2' has been cancelled?

According to Yahoo Entertainment, Dexter: Resurrection is reportedly renewed for not just Season 2 but also Season 3. Variety and Entertainment Weekly reported that Paramount plans "to open a writers room for a potential Season 2 of 'Dexter: Resurrection.'" But there has been no greenlight for a renewal yet.
