Dexter: Resurrection Reportedly Eyeing Peter Dinklage, Gillian Anderson to Star

As a gamer who lived through the golden age of television with shows like Game of Thrones, Dexter has always held a special place in my heart (or should I say, brain). The anti-hero trope was a fascinating exploration of morality and humanity, even for a serial killer. So, hearing about Peter Dinklage and Gillian Anderson potentially joining the cast of Dexter: Resurrection has me more excited than a kid on Christmas morning!


Based on recent news, Peter Dinklage from “Game of Thrones” and Gillian Anderson from “The X-Files” are reportedly in discussions to take on significant roles in “Dexter: Resurrection,” a sequel series following “Dexter” and “Dexter: New Blood.” “Dexter,” which originally aired in the mid-2000s, became one of television’s most popular shows by embracing the controversial anti-hero figure, even for a character as morally questionable as a serial killer. The Showtime series garnered much critical praise and numerous awards during its first five seasons, but its latter half saw a drop in quality. Despite this, viewership remained strong due to a captivating cast and engaging storylines, although the final season was met with criticism for its ending. Nearly a decade after it ended, “Dexter” returned with “Dexter: New Blood,” a ten-episode miniseries that resulted in a heartbreaking demise for Dexter Morgan. However, it seems that this is not the last we will see of Dexter Morgan.

Excitedly, I can’t help but share the fantastic news as a die-hard Dexter fan: A revival of our beloved antihero, Dexter Morgan, is on the horizon under the title Dexter: Resurrection. At this moment, all we have is a confirmation that Michael C. Hall will reprise his role and, intriguingly, it appears that Dexter is still very much alive in the storyline despite being shot in the chest at close range on screen. Filming is set to commence in January 2025, with a potential release date of Summer 2025. So, keep your eyes peeled for more updates on this exciting project!

According to insider Jeff Sneider’s recent updates, we might be getting some exciting casting news for “Dexter: Resurrection”. While Sneider’s predictions can sometimes be questionable, Peter Dinklage and Gillian Anderson are reportedly in discussions to join the production. At this point, it’s unclear what roles they will play. Given their past roles, some fans might speculate that one or both could potentially take on a villainous role, perhaps a new serial killer challenging Dexter. However, considering Dexter’s dark secret is now public knowledge, the show might deviate from its traditional format, as Dexter can no longer hide and hunt his targets without being hunted himself due to being wanted for being a notorious serial killer. Previous big names like John Lithgow, Jimmy Smits, Colin Hanks, and Clancy Brown have played antagonistic roles in the original series.

Additionally, Sneider mentions that the series continues from where New Blood ended, with Dexter lying wounded in the forest. Last we saw him, he was on the ground, believed dead, near Officer Angela Bishop and reinforcements were approaching her. It’s tough to believe that Dexter won’t be in police custody at the beginning of Resurrection, but it’s uncertain what else might unfold other than a straightforward trial for the serial killer. There’s a chance Dinklage and Anderson could portray legal professionals, FBI agents, or police officers, tasked with finally capturing Dexter instead of the killers he usually faces.

Michael C. Hall hinted at a possibility for more seasons in “Dexter: Resurrection,” though it might just be a playful comment. Given that Dexter’s secret has been revealed to the world, it appears challenging to keep his character functioning convincingly. He had managed to leave behind Dexter Morgan and become Jim Lindsay, but his new identity was exposed when Angela met Angel Bautista from the original series and disclosed that Dexter was still alive. Regardless of how things develop, this return promises to be intriguing, with a wealth of talented individuals involved.
