'DEXTER: RESURRECTION' is the third spin-off in the Dexter franchise, building on the narrative of 'Dexter: New Blood'. It explores Dexter Morgan's life post-revival, set in the present day, focusing on his struggles and relationships in Iron Lake, New York, where the cold weather plays a role in his survival.
The plot of 'DEXTER: RESURRECTION' centers on Dexter Morgan, portrayed by Michael C. Hall, following his revival from a near-death experience in 'Dexter: New Blood.'. The series is set in the present day, likely around 2025, continuing from the events in Iron Lake, New York, where 'New Blood' concluded. The narrative explores Dexter's life after being shot by his son Harrison, with the cold weather in Iron Lake playing a crucial role in his survival, as hinted by Michael C. Hall. This environmental factor suggests a survival story intertwined with Dexter's ongoing battle against his "Dark Passenger," his serial killing urges.
With his identity as the Bay Harbor Butcher exposed to figures like Angela Bishop and Detective Angel Batista, the series delves into the complexities of Dexter's relationships and his quest for justice. A significant plot element is the introduction of Leon Prater, played by Peter Dinklage, described as a billionaire venture capitalist with a dark side, positioned as the main villain. Uma Thurman joins as Charley, a former Special Ops officer now working as Prater's private security guard, suggesting a new antagonist dynamic. The series also likely addresses Dexter's interactions with his son Harrison and the return of Harry Morgan, played by James Remar, potentially as a hallucination guiding Dexter, reverting to a familiar narrative device from previous installments.

As 'DEXTER: RESURRECTION' is still in production, plot details might change.
Now what about sexual content? I think 'Dexter: Original Sin' has assured us that sex and nudity will be included in the Dexter TV series, so I think we don't have to worry about that.
Currently there is no official news about any sexual content or ratings.
