Our Take On The Dexter: Resurrection Trailer
Dexter Letting Loose In Manhattan Sounds Like A Killer Combo
The first officialDexter: Resurrectiontrailer suggests that there will be some major and expansive changes to the traditionalDexterformula, which should offer a much-needed revamping of the series.Manhattan is tonally opposite to the remote fictional town of Iron Lake, New York, whereNew Bloodtook place, and should offer plenty of exciting new developments given the energetic setting.
Harrison remains a part of the story, appearing as a hotel bellhop in one scene and dragging a dead body in another, but he is not depicted with Dexter in the trailer.
