Michael C. Hall was back from the dead as he filmed hotly anticipated Dexter reboot Resurrection in New York City on Monday - despite being killed off in the last series.
The 53-year-old actor, who stars as the titular character, reunited with returning star James Remar (Harry Morgan) and Jack Alcott, who plays Dexter's son Harrison, who shot him in 2021 reboot Dexter: New Blood.
Hall - who has played the serial killing blood spatter analyst since 2006 - was clad in a quilted olive green jacket, which he wore over a crew neck dark gray sweater.
He added a pair of dark pants with cargo pockets, black lace-up work boots, and Dexter's signature black leather gloves.
The star sported a shadow of a white-gray beard as he shot mysterious scenes inside a camouflage-painted truck alongside James, 71, who played the ghost guide of Dexter in the show's eight seasons from 2006-2013.
The scene appeared to show the pair stalking a new target.
Remar's return was announced last month after he did not appear in New Blood.

Hall also returned as the inner voice of Dexter on Original Sin, currently airing with Patrick Gibson playing the killer as he begins his career at Miami Metro while becoming a killer.
'We are thrilled to have the brilliant Michael C. Hall reprise his iconic role as Dexter Morgan in Showtime's most successful series ever,' Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President, previously said in a press release.
He continued, 'While Dexter: Resurrection will appeal to the tens of millions of longtime fans, Dexter: Original Sin will introduce a whole new generation of viewers into this iconic series by starting from the beginning, which is sure to satisfy existing audiences as well.'
