## Key points

- Season 2 brings back Dexter’s distinctive opening credits.
- New York details update the original morning routine.
- The sequence hints Dexter is returning to old habits.

## Summary

*Dexter: Resurrection* has restored the elaborate opening credits that were a defining feature of the original series. Their return in Season 2 matters because the sequence uses ordinary morning routines to hint at Dexter’s darker nature, while signalling that the character is settling back into familiar habits.

The new credits echo the original’s theme music, bloody title and scenes of shaving and preparing food, but update the details for Dexter’s life in New York: he eats a bagel and doughnut, winces from an old injury and takes out the rubbish. The article says these touches honour the original while reflecting Dexter’s current story, which includes the mystery of the New York Ripper and the return of Charley Brown.
