Dexter: Resurrection returns with episode 9, hitting screens this weekend. Showtime will air the new installment on Friday, August 29 at 12:00 a.m. Eastern, followed by a premiere on Sunday, August 31 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on cable TV. For cord-cutters, episode 9 will also stream live on Fubo and DIRECTV, and can be watched on Paramount+ on demand.
This episode is shaping up to heighten the cat-and-mouse stakes between Dexter and his foes. The trailer places Dexter in Leon Prater’s ominous trophy vault, wearing Red’s distinctive black hoodie and gripping a knife, over someone lying on a table. Viewers will wonder if this signals another brutal moment in Prater’s private gallery or if it’s a hallucination. On the investigative side, Detective Claudette Wallace is closing in on the Bay Harbor Butcher case, while Angel Batista’s fixation threatens to push him toward dangerous, potentially costly limits.

Synopsis and takeaways
– Episode 9 promises an escalation of tension, with Dexter’s potential confrontation in Prater’s vault serving as a focal point. Fans should expect clues about whether the show will pivot toward a major turn in the Bay Harbor Butcher storyline, while the pursuit angle intensifies for Wallace and Batista.
What to watch for and a note on access
– Those who want the strongest live viewing options can use DIRECTV to catch the episode as it airs, with various plan levels and a potential first-month discount after the trial. Paramount+ offers a cost-effective route with on-demand access after a 7-day trial, including access to a broad library beyond Dexter. Fubo and Sling provide flexible streaming paths, though Fubo currently lacks a free trial in the listings and Sling’s options revolve around add-ons and one-off passes. For fans who want Showtime content alongside Paramount+, the Sling add-on route for a small monthly premium can be a bargain.

– The episode’s tension and the character dynamics suggest strong fan interest in how close the series is to a major turning point. If you’re planning to binge or catch up, leveraging a free trial or a price-promotional period can be a smart way to watch without long-term commitments.
