After another polarizing ending split the fanbase once again,Resurrectionlooks to revive the storyline and potentially serve as theactualfinal chapter forDexter.

Varietyreports thatPeter 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 inDexter: Resurrection, including Michael C. Hall, Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, James Remar, and David Zayas. Plot details remain scarce for theResurrection, 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.

‘Dexter: Original Sin’ Is Taking Over the Conversation
Despite many longtime fans initially writing off the show as an unnecessary retread,Dexter: Original Sinhas won over fans through its twist-filled season debut.

Hall returns to narrate the events that unfold (seemingly as a result of his bullet wound inNew Blood), but Patrick Gibson has taken on the titular role as a younger version of the character. Initial reservations aside,Original Sinhas 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 ofDexterfans as a result.
