Every time a Dexter series ends, it seems like the title character has met his end, but the seemingly immortal, or at least extremely resilient Dexter Morgan continues to live on.
This has resulted in yet another spinoff from the original series, this time aptly titled Dexter: Resurrection, and Michael C. Hall is back to play the cunning and charming serial killer.
Other actors have also been rumored to join the new series, namely Peter Dinklage and Gillian Anderson, but while we wait for confirmation, another original cast member has confirmed his involvement in the sequel series.
While speaking to a fan on cameo, actor James Remar confirmed (via Dexter Daily) that he will return as Dexter’s dead father, Harry Morgan in Dexter: Resurrection.
Rumors had previously noted that Harry Morgan would return in Dexter: Resurrection, but it was unconfirmed. Remar was absent from New Blood and was instead replaced by Dexter’s deceased sister, Deb, played by Jennifer Carpenter. Remar’s character was frequently seen in flashbacks and as Dexter’s sort of conscience or guide in the original series.
However, Dexter parted ways with Harry at the end of season eight, feeling that he no longer needed his father to guide him.
However, with Dexter having parted ways with his sister’s ghost at the end of New Blood and the fact he has a pretty rocky relationship with his own son, he may seek his own father’s advice once more. And Remar may not be the only beloved actor returning.
According to a recent rumor from CB, actor David Zayas will return as Angel Batista in Dexter: Resurrection, likely giving fans the confrontation between Angel and Dexter that was heavily teased in New Blood.
Are you looking forward to the return of Dexter in Resurrection?
