Hall is back as Dexter Morgan in Dexter: Resurrection<\/p>\n<p>The 54-year-old star has reprised his role as serial killer Dexter Morgan in the new Showtime spin-off Dexter: Resurrection and says that he couldn&#8217;t resist the urge to revisit the character, even though he was seemingly shot dead in the series Dexter: New Blood.<\/p>\n<p>Michael told Deadline: &#8220;Like, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/al-pacino\/\" class=\"exposure-link \" data-linktrack=\"LinkTracker,articleExposure,al-pacino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Al Pacino<\/a> and the mafia. It just keeps pulling me back in, I think. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we finished the series proper and Dexter put himself into self-imposed exile, I knew we may well be revisiting him at some point to find out what the hell happened to him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When New Blood ended, I had a more definitive sense that it was the end, and I think the character did too. He thought that was a fatal gunshot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMichael explained that he floated the idea of bringing his alter ego back to life with show bosses and became &#8220;compelled&#8221; by the potential for a return.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Six Feet Under star recalled: &#8220;Some time passed, and I casually interjected in conversations with show creatives, like, &#8216;What if he didn&#8217;t die?&#8217; I mean, he didn&#8217;t get shot in the head. It&#8217;s possible that he could have survived that. And if he did, what would that look like? What storytelling possibilities would that afford us? <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;The more I thought about it, and the more we talked about it, the more I was compelled.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It was too tempting to resist. I was like, &#8216;All right, let&#8217;s roll the dice and bring him back to life. Let&#8217;s do it.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMichael is delighted that the original characters of Arthur Mitchell\/Trinity Killer (John Lithgow), Miguel Prado (Jimmy Smits) and James Doakes (Erik King) all make a return in Dexter: Resurrection. <\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;That it was pure joy for an OG fan is a big part of why I was so excited when I saw it. I was like, &#8216;Oh, it&#8217;s gonna resonate, and it shows just how rich the mythology of the show has grown to be.&#8217; It was amazing seeing those guys and doing scenes with them, so many years since we started. It was incredible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/michael-hall-let-dexter-1421887.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12 July 2025 Michael C.
