First ‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Season 2 Teaser Reveals New Vision for Dexter — Literally

The first teaser for Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 is in, and it looks like Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) is going to finally see the light … or at least the eye chart at his optometrist’s office.

Paramount+ has revealed the first look at the season, along with its official premiere date of October 30, and in it, Dexter gets fitted for spectacles and picks a pair that only makes him look more serial killer-y than usual. “He’s back and sharper than ever,” the teaser’s caption cleverly reads.

The reveal that the former Bay Harbour Butcher-turned-fake Dark Passenger needs corrective lenses is in keeping with the season’s logline, which teases some difficulties with aging ahead for the vicious vigilante: “The second season of Dexter: Resurrection finds Dexter Morgan (Hall) caught between two killers — one with decades of notoriety and a lifetime of kills behind him, and the other a fresh young face terrorizing New York in ways no one has ever seen. Meanwhile, Dexter battles a new and unexpected enemy: a midlife crisis. Harrison (Jack Alcott) continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter yet.”

The two killers described there are likely references to Don Framt a.k.a. the New York Ripper (Brian Cox) and Owen Stark a.k.a. the Five Boroughs Killer (Dan Stevens).
