Season overview
Dexter: Resurrection follows Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) after his return from the events of New Blood. This season places him in New York City, where he infiltrates a secret society made up of multiple serial killers. The society is organized by a wealthy figure played by Peter Dinklage, and several guest stars appear as members of that group.
Throughout the season, Dexter identifies and kills multiple members of the group while attempting to maintain cover. Meanwhile, the series includes recurring references to an older, uncaught killer known as the New York Ripper.
How the killer ensemble worked
The show presents a collection of individual killers rather than a single, central antagonist. Cast members include Neil Patrick Harris and Krysten Ritter among others, each portraying a different murderer. Some of these characters are shown in depth, while others appear in shorter arcs.
In addition, the society’s founder, Leon Prater (Peter Dinklage), does not commit the murders directly on-screen but is depicted as controlling and funding the group.
The Gemini Killer twist
The season’s most notable single antagonist is the Gemini Killer, played by David Dastmalchian. The Gemini role is revealed to be a pair of identical twins who act as a single persona; they never appear together and communicate via hidden notes.
This twin reveal is a plotted twist within the season, and the character’s storyline ends within the season. The series moves on to other members of the group afterward.
The New York Ripper reveal
Throughout the season, the New York Ripper is discussed as a long-unidentified killer who sometimes calls the families of victims. In the season finale, Dexter discovers the identity of that killer as Don Framt.
Reporting on that plot point and identity appears in a recap and reveal piece; see the write-up about the Don Framt reveal for more detail. The article covers the finale disclosure.
Season 2 status
As of now, a second season of Dexter: Resurrection has not been officially confirmed. The show’s first season is complete and its final episode includes the Don Framt reveal described above.
