Summary
The upcomingDextersequel seriesDexter: Resurrectionmust finally deliver a long-awaited confrontation between Angel Batista and Dexter Morgan.Dexter: Resurrectionis expected to begin filming in January 2025, one month after the premiere of the upcomingprequel seriesDexter: Original Sin. It’s more than likely that showrunner Clyde Phillips has already worked out a proper method for convincingly carrying on the torch of Dexter, even after the titular protagonist was already confirmed to be dead atthe end ofDexter: New Blood.
Dexter: Resurrectioncame as a major surprise announcement at the “Dexter: Original Sin” panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. Michael C. Hall shocked audiences when he appeared onstage and also revealed that he would provide thevoiceover narration for Patrick Gibson’s versionof college-aged Dexter inOriginal Sin. These two major announcements that confirm Hall’s involvement are massive signs of promise for the twoDexterspin-offs, butnow they will have to match the hype and deliver strong content.
Dexter: Resurrection Can’t Waste Angel Batista Discovering Dexter’s True Identity Again
If Batista isn’t featured inDexter: Resurrection, it would be a gigantic missed opportunity
David Zayas' return as Angel Batista inDexter: New Bloodwas arguably wasted and was a big complaint about theNew Bloodfinale.Dexter: Resurrectionnow has the opportunity to pay off the return of Batista after he began suspecting Dexter’s true identity as the Bay Harbor Butcher towards the end of New Blood. Batista discovered that Dexter was still alive in the first Dexter sequel series and went to find him with LaGuerta’s Bay Harbor Butcher file in hand,aNew Bloodsubplot that was never resolved.
Consideringthere was no confrontation between Dexter and Batista inNew Blood, which created anarguably disappointingNew Bloodfinale, Resurrection now has the perfect opportunity to bring Batista back and make his character put Dexter in his crosshairs like Doakes and LaGuerta before him. Batista has more than enough natural motivation to avenge LaGuerta’s murder that would justify his return to the series. If Batista isn’t featured inDexter: Resurrection, it would be a gigantic missed opportunity.
I Would Rather See Dexter Retcon New Blood’s Ending Than For This Popular Harrison Theory To Come True
Dexter: Resurrection should avoid keeping Dexter in the background as Harrison’s Dark Passenger guide, which would be a waste of MCH’s presence.
Dexter: Resurrection Can Fulfill The Angel & Dexter Scene That New Blood Ignored
Batista should try to track down & confront Dexter in Resurrection
A confrontation between the two originalDextercharacters should be expected inResurrection. Otherwise, the secondDextersequel series runs the risk of making an even more frustrating entry into the franchise that will only upset previously disgruntled fans even further.There would be so much natural compelling tension if Batista was on the hunt for DexterinResurrection. Dexter lied to him all those years and hid the fact that he was responsible for so many murders that Miami Metro investigated, including LaGuerta’s death. Zayas, who just recently guest starred inThe Bearseason 3, has got to be inDexter: Resurrection.
