‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Adds Beloved ‘Game of Thrones’ Star as New Villain

Although fans have already received one sequel, Dexter is not quite done just yet. Dexter: Resurrection will continue the story of the titular vigilante serial killer after his apparent death in Dexter: New Blood. After another polarizing ending split the fanbase once again, Resurrection looks to revive the storyline and potentially serve as the actual final chapter for Dexter. And Showtime is not taking any chances this time round, recruiting several major actors to the call sheet, the latest being from HBO’s iconic fantasy drama, Game of Thrones.

Variety reports that Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) is the latest star to be added to the upcoming sequel series. He joins a stacked list of actors and familiar faces in Dexter: Resurrection, including Michael C. Hall, Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, James Remar, and David Zayas. Plot details remain scarce for the Resurrection, but as the title suggests, it seems Dexter has somehow survived his bullet wound to the chest. Moreover, he will be confronting Leon Prater, played by Dinklage, who is described as “a billionaire venture capitalist. To the world, Leon is a generous philanthropist, but behind his polished exterior lies dark intrigue.”

Expect Dinklage to share ample screen time with co-star Thurman, a series regular, who will be playing Charley, a former Special Ops officer now Head of Security for Leon Prater. A politically and socially relevant plot, it seems the Dexter franchise has once again found a way to reinvent itself. Although they already have another series currently airing, Dexter is back and more than ever before. Dexter: Original Sin has slowly but surely enraptured audiences over the past few weeks after a lukewarm premiere.

‘Dexter: Original Sin’ Is Taking Over the Conversation Close

Despite many longtime fans initially writing off the show as an unnecessary retread, Dexter: Original Sin has won over fans through its twist-filled season debut. A prequel to the original Showtime series, Michael C. Hall returns to narrate the events that unfold (seemingly as a result of his bullet wound in New Blood), but Patrick Gibson has taken on the titular role as a younger version of the character. Initial reservations aside, Original Sin has managed to not only satisfy longtime fans, but also engage new viewers. Clips from the currently on-air series have been blowing up on TikTok, and it could usher in a new generation of Dexter fans as a result.

One of the biggest mysteries in the first season of Dexter: Original Sin, the true identity of the person who kidnapped and killed Jimmy Spencer, just threw audiences for a loop. Without spoiling, Original Sin managed to subvert expectations and deliver on the show’s premise, while also further developing the titular character and his vigilante endeavors. It’s unclear if a second season will be greenlit for Original Sin, but it’s safe to say Dexter fans have plenty to watch in the coming years. If Resurrection is the last we see of Michael C. Hall as his beloved character, perhaps there is room for Patrick Gibson to take over the role for years to come.
