Thursday, October 8 | 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM, Main Stage | Dexter: Resurrection S2 Panel
Two decades ago, audiences were introduced to the world’s most compelling serial killer. Now, the Dexter® legacy continues. Join the cast and creative team behind Paramount+’s Dexter: Resurrection to celebrate the franchise's landmark 20th anniversary and get an exclusive look at what’s in store for the upcoming second season. Moderated by Josh Horowitz, the panel will feature Michael C. Hall, Uma Thurman, James Remar, Jack Alcott, Bokeem Woodbine and Krysten Ritter, as well as showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips and executive producers Scott Reynolds and Marcos Siega – and plenty of killer surprises.
Fans can also step inside the world of Dexter at The Dexter 20th Anniversary Museum Experience, a limited-time immersive experience open October 9–11 at Chelsea Industrial (547 W 28th St, New York, NY 10001). Featuring iconic props, immersive recreations, interactive experiences and photo moments spanning the franchise’s 20-year history, fans can reserve free tickets, with a standby line also available daily. The experience will also host an onsite blood drive with New York Blood Center, with appointments available here.
From Emmy®-nominated showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, 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 mid-life crisis. Harrison (Jack Alcott) continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter yet. Dexter: Resurrection and Dexter®: Original Sin are available to binge on Paramount+ only with the Premium Plan. Binge Dexter®: New Blood and the original Dexter series with all Paramount+ plans.
