Resurrection Season 2’s Dexter & Harrison Are “Unlike Any Other Version We’ve Seen” Throughout Franchise, Details Star

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Dexter: New Blood and Dexter: Resurrection season 1.Dexter: Resurrection season 2 could change Dexter and Harrison forever.

The Dexter franchise explores the double life of Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C. Hall), who is a blood spatter analyst by day and by night, a vigilante serial killer who targets murderers who have evaded justice. With multiple spinoffs including Dexter: Original Sin, Dexter: New Blood, and Dexter: Resurrection, the inner workings of Dexter and his personal life are laid bare, including one of the most important relationships, and that’s between himself and his son Harrison (played by Jack Alcott).

Speaking to ScreenRant‘s Liam Crowley at Dexter: Resurrection‘s FYC event, Alcott, who is returning for season 2 of Resurrection as Harrison Morgan, spoke about the upcoming changes that people may not be accustomed to, and the transformation is “unlike any other version we’ve seen.” When asked how their dynamic will change in the upcoming season, Alcott gives a little tease on what to expect.

ScreenRant: Harrison and Dexter seem to be the most on the same page as they are in the entire Resurrection arc in that finale. So, what can you tease about how that dynamic is going to progress, evolve, or change in any way for season 2?
Jack Alcott: Well, I mean, when you’ve been through a lot with somebody, you get closer, and we’ve watched Harrison and Dexter drift apart, slam back together again, drift apart again. We’ve watched them go through more than most father-son duos would go through. Not everybody kills their dad or thinks that they did. So we’re going to see a version that we haven’t seen before, which is the version that’s been through all of the sh*t that we just witnessed. We’ve seen them go through so much together. So they’ll forever be learning from each other and developing their relationship as a father and a son, as peers, as friends. And we’re going to see a version that’s a little more lived in than any other version that we’ve seen.

Dexter and Harrison were reintroduced in Dexter: New Blood after Dexter chose to leave his son with Hannah McKay (played by Yvonne Strahovski) in the flagship series after feeling trapped in an endless cycle and afraid he would inflict some trauma or that Harrison could end up like him. Dexter faked his own death to break what seemed to be a generational curse, and in New Blood, Harrison locates Dexter in Iron Lake, which leads to several confrontations, including Dexter’s admission of who he truly is.

However, the final blow was Harrison seemingly ending his father’s life after fully coming to terms with Dexter’s true nature and hoping to end the cycle of violence. Now, in Resurrection, Dexter locates Harrison after escaping Iron Lake, which shocks Harrison, who was unaware he survived, and their dynamic is slowly rebuilding as they engage in normal father-son bonding, including helping to cover up murders both have committed.

New set photos have revealed Harrison’s transformation into a police officer, which could be a major change in dynamics between the father and son due to Dexter’s dark passenger still very much alive. However, with Harrison’s own dark passenger in the background, it could lead to quite a cleverly worked dynamic for both parties.

Dexter: Resurrection is available to watch on Paramount+.
