Slice of Life in NYC: “Dexter: Resurrection” Season 2 Drops First-Look Image

America’s favorite serial killer with a heart of gold (and a trunk full of plastic sheeting) is officially back in the Big Apple. Paramount+ has unveiled a dark first look at the second season of “Dexter: Resurrection,” starring SAG and Golden Globe® winner Michael C. Hall as the titular Bay Harbor Butcher himself. The image features Dexter sitting down for dinner with Uma Thurman. If you look closely, you will see that the two are holding hands. Is a new romance blooming between the two? Coming later this year on the Paramount+ Premium Plan, the new season picks up with Dexter Morgan trying to navigate the relentless hustle of New York City—where the real horror isn’t just the local murder rate, but the cost of rent and the sudden onset of a mid-life crisis.

Cyber-Thriller ‘Wardriver’ is Racing onto Paramount+ this July

Did you miss the hacking action in theaters? Plug back in, tech fans. The 2026 cyber-thriller Wardriver is officially making its post-theatrical streaming debut next month. The Million-Dollar Glitch The film stars Dane DeHaan (The Place Beyond the Pines) as Cole, a brilliant hacker who gets in way over his head. Cole is lured into a high-stakes, million-dollar cyberheist. Unsurprisingly, the gig quickly devolves into a deadly cat-and-mouse game. However, in this digital playground, every single line of code could literally be his last. A Premium Cast of Targets So, DeHaan isn’t the only one trying to avoid getting deleted. The tech-thriller features an incredibly sharp supporting cast. It includes Sasha Calle (The Flash), William Belleau (Killers of the Flower Moon), Karina Gale (Grizzly Night), and Cameron Lee Price (Sympathy for the Devil).

Krysten Ritter Retuning for the New Season of ‘Dexter: Resurrection’

Just when she thought she was out, the Big Apple pulls her right back in. According to Deadline, Krysten Ritter is officially returning to the neon-soaked streets of New York as a guest star for the second season of Showtime’s “Dexter: Resurrection” on Paramount+. Exactly how she is returning, however, is a massive, blood-splattered question mark. For those keeping track of the body count, Ritter’s Season 1 character, Mia—better known to the true-crime community as the sommelier-by-day, serial-killer-by-night vigilante “Lady Vengeance”—was very thoroughly killed off while behind bars. But let’s be real: this franchise treats the mortal coil more like a suggestion box. Whether she’s back as a manifestation of Dexter’s fractured psyche, a ghost chilling in a blood-red cardigan, or as a completely unannounced identical twin who suddenly loves pinot noir, your guess is as good as ours. The real mystery isn’t how she’s back, but what kind of absolute chaos she’s about to unleash on our favorite forensic

From the Upside Down to the Big Screen: The Duffer Brothers Set First Feature Film at Paramount

The Duffer Brothers are officially graduating from Hawkins, Indiana, and elders in the desert and heading straight to the multiplex. Variety reports that Matt and Ross Duffer, the masterminds behind “Stranger Things,” have officially set their first feature film. And it will be under their massive, four-year exclusive deal with Paramount. Fresh off wrapping up their flagship Netflix hit and delivering their second acclaimed series, “The Boroughs,” the duo are parting ways with the streaming giant’s movie division to focus on old-school cinematic spectacles. The studio has locked in a wide theatrical release date of November 3, 2028, for the yet-to-be-titled project. Plot Under Wraps (Naturally) In classic Hollywood fashion, specific plot details are being guarded more fiercely than a government laboratory. What we do know is that the project is being developed under the Duffers’ Upside Down Pictures banner, which they run alongside company president and producing partner Hilary Leavitt.

Paramount+ Drops the Entire ‘Among Us’ Animated Series

If you’ve spent the last six years harboring deep-seated trust issues and shouting “SUS!” at your friends across a digital spaceship, your time has finally come.

Paramount+ Digs into the Strange True Crime Docuseries ‘My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders’

Most family disagreements involve politics or who forgot to wash the dishes. For the Studey family, the debate is a little more intense: namely, whether or not dear old Dad was a prolific serial killer. Paramount+ is set to explore this deeply unsettling game of “he said, she said” with its new documentary series, My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders. The docuseries aims to posthumously unmask the rumored “Monster of Green Hollow,” a man some believe murdered dozens of people decades ago. But did he? The Well of Horrors vs. The “Big, Fat Lie” The spine of the series rests on a bizarre debate between two sisters regarding their late father, Donald Studey: The Accuser: Lucy Studey claims she doesn’t just suspect her father was a monster. She alleges she was an eyewitness. Lucy maintains that Don dumped dozens of victims into a stone water well on their property. She even claims she helped him cover the bodies in

The BAU is Back in the Trailer for Season 19 of “Criminal Minds: Evolution”

The BAU is back, and apparently, being a legendary profiler doesn’t come with a “happily ever after” clause. “Criminal Minds: Evolution” is returning to Paramount+ for Season 19, and the team is about to learn that sometimes, the only thing worse than a serial killer is a serial killer with a dedicated fanbase. “Senpai, Notice My Murder” This season, the BAU finds itself caught in a deadly parasocial relationship. While the team investigates a fresh string of chilling cases, everyone’s favorite resident psychopath, Elias Voit (Zach Gilford), is busy trying to “atone” for his sins. Unfortunately, his high-profile infamy has inspired a new nightmare: “The Fan.” “The Fan” isn’t just a copycat; he’s a calculating, precise, and relentlessly dangerous predator who views Voit as his idol. The central question of the season? How many bodies will “The Fan” drop just to prove he’s better than the man who taught him everything? It’s the ultimate toxic fandom, and the BAU is
