John Lithgow’s Shocking Return as Trinity Killer in Dexter: Resurrection!

by

In an exciting twist for fans, a previously seen and cherished nemesis from the original series ‘Dexter’ will reappear in the forthcoming spin-off series titled ‘Dexter: Resurrection‘. Known for its captivating roster of villains, ‘Dexter’ is a show that stands out for its seasonal structure where Dexter Morgan, a serial killer/vigilante, faces off against formidable antagonists. These encounters often push the boundaries, with Michael C. Hall going head-to-head with talented actors such as Jimmy Smits, Clancy Brown, and John Lithgow. As is common in hero stories, each adversary is ultimately vanquished, but at a cost to Dexter – he sacrifices his brother to save his foster sister, defeats Trinity only to lose his wife, and kills Kurt, leading to his own downfall.

Dexter has been known for its impressive casts and villains, and this trend looks set to continue with Dexter: Resurrection. At present, filming is underway in New York, and it appears that a large ensemble of actors will feature. Notably, Peter Dinklage and Uma Thurman have been confirmed as the main adversaries in Dexter: Resurrection, but they may not be the only challenges for Dexter this season. Additional stars like Krysten Ritter, Neil Patrick Harris, and others are anticipated to portray suspicious or murderous characters that Dexter will probably need to navigate somehow. The specifics of the show’s plot remain unclear, but it seems likely that Dexter will encounter numerous questionable individuals in New York City.

Dexter: Resurrection Will Feature John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer

In addition to Dexter: Resurrection’s main cast, there’s another standout character – John Lithgow. He has shared with Variety his intention to reprise his role as the Trinity Killer. Intriguingly, he likened himself to a ghost that lingers over Dexter, resurfacing in Dexter’s mind after his near-death experience at the close of Dexter: New Blood. Essentially, it seems like the Trinity character will only make a brief appearance, as Lithgow mentioned he spent just one day on set for filming.

Lithgow stated, “I’ve returned for another day. They’re restarting the Michael C. Hall version of Dexter, and it seems Hall’s character didn’t actually perish. I reappear in a sense, as his character begins to regain consciousness on a hospital bed.

It appears Dexter might regain consciousness, grappling with his past transgressions. This could potentially offer brief appearances from actors such as Julie Benz (Rita) and Jennifer Carpenter (Deb), despite her refusal to participate in Dexter: Resurrection. Dexter has forever carried the weight of the lives he took, but if his deceased loved ones were to reappear following a brush with death, it would be an incredibly startling and deep revelation for him. This could perhaps present him with a fresh opportunity, though it’s unclear what form that might take for a notorious serial killer who is under constant scrutiny from the authorities.

Regardless of the specifics, it’s thrilling to learn that a powerful adversary of Dexter is coming back to torment him even beyond death. As for Dexter: Resurrection, details are scarce, but we do know it consists of ten episodes in its inaugural season, set to be released this summer, and there’s a possibility it could extend across numerous seasons.
