Paramount Television Studios secured the first lease at Manhattan's Sunset Pier 94 Studios to film the second season of Showtime's "Dexter: Resurrection," ahead of the studio's opening later this month. The series will occupy 70,000 square feet within the facility, utilizing two sound stages and office space for production.
Drew Brown, EVP of production for Paramount TV, expressed enthusiasm about the move. "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 stated. He added that the previous season's relocation of Dexter to New York City made the studio's location a natural fit, providing greater access to the region's creative resources.
The move to Sunset Pier 94 Studios marks a significant development for both the "Dexter" franchise and the New York City film industry. The studio, boasting state-of-the-art facilities, aims to attract high-profile productions and further solidify New York's position as a major filming location. The original "Dexter" series, which aired for eight seasons, garnered a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim for its unique premise and complex characters. "Dexter: Resurrection," a revival of the series, capitalizes on the established audience appeal and seeks to introduce the story to a new generation of viewers.
The cultural impact of "Dexter" is undeniable, sparking conversations about morality, justice, and the complexities of human nature. The show's success paved the way for other anti-hero driven narratives in television. The choice of Sunset Pier 94 Studios reflects a broader trend of studios seeking modern, well-equipped facilities in urban centers to accommodate the demands of contemporary television production.
Production for "Dexter: Resurrection" Season 2 is expected to begin shortly, with a premiere date yet to be announced. The season promises to delve deeper into Dexter's new life in New York City, exploring the challenges and consequences of his past actions.
