Just when we thought the casting for the upcoming Dexter spinoff series, Dexter: Resurrection, was done, Paramount+ announces that David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil, Oppenheimer) has joined the cast in the role of “Gareth.”
Dexter: Resurrection stars Michael C. Hall in the titular role of Dexter Morgan, and production kicked off earlier this month in New York and the series is set to launch in summer of 2025 on Paramount+ with Showtime.
In addition to Dastmalchian and Michael C. Hall, the series will also star Uma Thurman as Charley, David Zayas as Detective Angel Batista, Jack Alcott as Dexter’s son Harrison Morgan, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine as Blessing Kamara, Eric Stonestreet as A.I., Kadia Saraf as Detective Claudette Wallace, Dominic Fumusa as Detective Melvin Oliva, Emilia Suárez as Elsa Rivera, with James Remar as Dexter’s father Harry Morgan and Peter Dinklage as Leon Prater. Neil Patrick Harris and Krysten Ritter are also set to guest star as Lowell and Mia, respectively.
The new series is executive produced by Emmy-nominee Clyde Phillips (Dexter, Nurse Jackie), who also returns to serve as showrunner, and produced by SHOWTIME Studios and Counterpart Studios. Michael C. Hall also serves as executive producer along with Scott Reynolds (Dexter, Jessica Jones), Tony Hernandez (Broad City, Emily in Paris) and Lilly Burns (Search Party, Russian Doll), with Marcos Siega (Bad Monkey, Dexter: New Blood) serving as producing director.
Most recently, Dexter: Original Sin, a prequel series that follows Dexter (played by Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to serial killer, debuted in December of last year and delivered the most- streamed Showtime premiere in history with more than 2.1M global cross-platform viewers. The series is now streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime.
