Dexter: Resurrection season 2 is streaming on Paramount+ in Australia. It premiered on Friday 30 October 2026 and new episodes arrive weekly, with episode 4 due on Friday 20 November.

It is not on Netflix, Stan, BINGE or free TV.

Where to watch Dexter: Resurrection season 2 in Australia

Option	Where	Cost
Stream	Paramount+	from $7.99 a month
Paramount+ as a channel	inside the Prime Video or Apple TV app	Paramount+ bought through Amazon or Apple, price shown in the app
Free trial	Paramount+	7 days for new subscribers
Netflix, Stan, BINGE, Disney+	not available
Free TV	not available

JustWatch Australia added season 2 to Paramount+, and to the Paramount+ channels on Prime Video and Apple TV, on the weekend of the premiere (checked 15 November 2026). If you already pay for Prime Video, the channel lets you watch inside the Prime Video app, but it is still a Paramount+ subscription on top of Prime, not part of Prime itself.

Release schedule: when episodes come out

Paramount announced the season 2 premiere for Friday 30 October, and new episodes follow weekly through December. Season 2 has 10 episodes. Based on the weekly Friday pattern listed by Reelgood Australia, these are the dates:

Episode	Date on Paramount+
1	Friday 30 October 2026
2	Friday 6 November
3	Friday 13 November
4	Friday 20 November
5	Friday 27 November
6	Friday 4 December
7	Friday 11 December
8	Friday 18 December
9	Friday 25 December
10 (finale)	Friday 1 January 2027

Paramount has not published the full list for Australia itself, so treat dates after this week as a guide. Some sites list Sunday dates: those are the US Showtime TV channel's airings, two days after each episode streams. Season 1 followed the same pattern here: it launched on Paramount+ on Friday 11 July 2025 with two episodes, then went weekly.

What it costs

Paramount+ plan	Monthly	What you get
Basic with Ads	$7.99	full HD on one screen, with ads
Standard	$12.99	no ads, HD on two screens, downloads
Premium	$17.99	no ads, 4K and Dolby Vision on four screens

All three plans include the seven-day free trial for new subscribers. A week is not enough for a weekly season, so the cheapest way to watch season 2 as it airs is Basic with Ads from the trial through to the 1 January finale, about three months, or wait until early January and watch all 10 episodes in one month. Prices are from our plan data on 15 November 2026; our Paramount+ guide compares the plans in full.

What season 2 is about

Michael C. Hall is back as Dexter Morgan, who finds himself caught between two killers in New York: one notorious, the other terrorising the city in a way nobody saw coming, while his son Harrison pursues his own idea of justice. Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusa, Desmond Harrington and James Remar return, according to Paramount. New to the series are Dan Stevens, Bokeem Woodbine, Nona Parker Johnson and Brian Cox, with Krysten Ritter returning and Gabriel Luna joining as guest stars.

Every Dexter series in order

All four Dexter series stream on Paramount+ in Australia, so one subscription covers the lot.

In release order (the best way for a first watch):

#	Series	Years	Episodes	Where in Australia
1	Dexter	2006 to 2013	96 (8 seasons of 12)	Paramount+
2	Dexter: New Blood	2021 to 2022	10	Paramount+
3	Dexter: Original Sin	2024 to 2025	10	Paramount+
4	Dexter: Resurrection	2025 to now	20 so far (2 seasons)	Paramount+

In story order: Original Sin comes first, because it is a prequel about a young Dexter in Miami, set about 15 years before the original series. Then Dexter, New Blood and Resurrection.

Short on time? Resurrection picks up 10 weeks after the end of New Blood, so New Blood is the one you really need before it. Original Sin is optional: you can skip it without losing the thread of Resurrection.

Is there a Dexter: Original Sin season 2?

No. Paramount cancelled Original Sin after its first season, Variety reported in August 2025. Its 10 episodes stay on Paramount+.

Will there be a Dexter: Resurrection season 3?

Not announced yet. Season 2 was confirmed in October 2025, a few months after season 1 launched, so a decision on season 3 may come around the season 2 finale. Use the "Tell me when the new season lands" button on our Dexter: Resurrection page and we will email you when it is announced for Australia.

Buying instead of streaming

If you would rather own it, Apple TV, Prime Video and Fetch sell seasons of the spin-offs, with Resurrection at $24.99 a season on each store (JustWatch Australia, 15 November 2026). For most people Paramount+ is far cheaper: one month of Basic with Ads costs about a third of a single season's purchase price and includes all four series.
