Paramount Television Studios secured the first lease at Manhattan's Sunset Pier 94 Studios to film the second season of Showtime's "Dexter: Resurrection," marking a significant milestone for the studio ahead of its opening later this month. The series will occupy 70,000 square feet within the facility, utilizing two sound stages and office space.
Drew Brown, EVP of production for Paramount TV, expressed enthusiasm about the move, stating, "We are thrilled to bring the second season of 'Dexter: Resurrection' to Sunset Pier 94 Studios and its state-of-the-art facilities and sound stages." Brown added that the production team is looking forward to following Dexter's relocation to New York City in the last season, gaining greater access to the region's creative talent, and leveraging a competitive talent pool.
The decision to film "Dexter: Resurrection" at Sunset Pier 94 Studios highlights the growing importance of New York City as a production hub. The move not only benefits the series by providing access to state-of-the-art facilities but also contributes to the local economy by creating jobs and attracting talent to the region.
"Dexter: Resurrection" serves as a continuation of the popular "Dexter" series, which originally aired for eight seasons and followed the life of Dexter Morgan, a blood spatter analyst with a double life as a vigilante serial killer. The revival series brought back Michael C. Hall in the titular role, captivating audiences with its dark themes and suspenseful storytelling. The first season of "Dexter: Resurrection" saw Dexter relocate to New York City, setting the stage for new storylines and challenges in the upcoming season.
The selection of Sunset Pier 94 Studios as the filming location for "Dexter: Resurrection" Season 2 underscores the studio's appeal to major television productions. With its modern facilities and strategic location, the studio is poised to become a prominent player in the entertainment industry. The opening of Sunset Pier 94 Studios and the arrival of "Dexter: Resurrection" are expected to generate considerable buzz and further solidify New York City's position as a leading destination for film and television production.
