Paramount+ will premiere Season 2 on Friday, October 30. The release date also lines up with the Halloween season, fitting the show’s dark story.
The teaser gives fans the first look at Dexter’s next chapter. He visits an optometrist and sees several words and numbers during his eye test. The teaser hints at Dexter’s return with a sharper edge.
Dexter also sports a new pair of smoky black glasses in the clip. Production for the new season recently headed to Times Square in New York City. Michael C. Hall filmed scenes with Uma Thurman, who returns as Charley. He later worked with David Zayas, who reprises his role as Angel Batista.

Dan Stevens plays The Five Borough Killer, a younger murderer terrorizing New York. Gabriel Luna joins them as Ray Ballard, who works under the name The Sleepy-Eyed Stranger. Krysten Ritter returns as Mia LaPierre, also known as Lady Vengeance; however, her role remains unclear.
Season 2 also gives Harrison Morgan a new direction. Jack Alcott returns as Dexter’s son, who now works as an NYPD officer. The cast includes several returning actors. Desmond Harrington becomes a series regular as Joey Quinn. Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusa and James Remar return.
