Meanwhile, “Dexter” approaches its 20th year on its third spinoff, bringing its namesake antihero back from the dead for yet another bite at the apple. The whole situation is as grimly amusing as “Dexter” used to be in its prime.

"Dexter: Resurrection" premieres Friday on Paramount+ Premium with two episodes. Michael C. Hall returns as the eponymous serial killer, last seen very briefly in the opening episode of the prequel series "Dexter: Original Sin."

Including moments of self-defense, Dexter's most heartbreaking kill of all-time, and when Dexter let his Dark Passenger run wild.

In the premiere of Dexter: Resurrection, Harrison is haunted by the memory of seemingly killing his father, especially when he becomes a killer himself. But Alcott tells EW that Harrison is not a sociopath like Dexter.
