Michael C. Hall reveals what Dexter wants

Michael C. Hall began his career in the theater and in the early 2000s, he appeared as David Fisher in the HBO drama series Six Feet Under. For his performance as Dexter Morgan in the Dexter franchise, he has won a Golden Globe Award, three Screen Actors Guild Awards and six Primetime Emmy nominations.

In an interview with NME in July 2025, Hall got candid about what Dexter is looking for in Resurrection.

"[Dexter] craves a sense of redemption, a sense that he can’t undo the past and the collateral damage that his indulgence in human relationships has resulted in. But he does have a desire to, in his twisted way, make things right. And yes, the relationship with his son is part of that," Hall said.

He explained that Dexter wants to be by his son's side. The fact that Harrison would rather that his father remain dead and does not want anything to do with him is daunting to Dexter.

Dexter: Resurrection airs on Paramount+ with Showtime every Friday.
