During his recent appearance on the Dissecting Dexter podcast, the veteran producer disclosed that filming for Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 is currently on track to start in the spring of 2026.

He then outlined the production schedule of Dexter: Resurrection Season 2, noting, “We’re going to be shooting next summer. We’re going to be shooting next spring. The writing room opens October 6.”
Phillips continued, “We will write through the holidays into early spring, and then we’ll start soft prep, meaning planning the stages and the sets and locations, and then begin the casting process, and take it from there.”

Talking about whether Resurrection Season 2 will feature any characters from the canceled Dexter prequel series, Original Sin, Phillips remarked, “I can’t say no to that – there always is [a chance]. Sometimes it’s in the writing room. Sometimes it occurs to me in editing. So I’m not saying no to anything.”
