  • The Dexter: Resurrection cast includes familiar faces and new big-name performers, hinting at a potentially intriguing plot.

In an unexpected move, the cast of the revived series “Dexter: Resurrection” has brought on board an actor from the popular sitcom “Modern Family,” who might surprise fans with a dramatic departure from his typically comedic roles.

In the sequel titled “Dexter: Resurrection“, Michael C. Hall once again steps into the role of Dexter Morgan, the notorious serial killer. Eight years following the controversial ending of the original “Dexter” series, the miniseries “Dexter: New Blood” attempted to conclude Dexter’s tale by having him perish at the hands of his son Harrison. However, the finale of “Dexter: New Blood” is being rewritten in “Dexter: Resurrection“, as it now appears that Dexter Morgan has somehow survived his injuries and wound up in New York City. Filming for “Dexter: Resurrection” is currently underway, with a combination of familiar faces and newcomers gathering in New York City. The most recent cast member to join the production is someone who fans of “Modern Family” may recognize.

Modern Family Actor Takes On A Killer Role In Dexter: Resurrection

According to Deadline, Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family has signed up for the cast of Dexter: Resurrection. His character, named Al, is thought to be a serial killer with roots in the midwest. In four episodes of Dexter: Resurrection, Stonestreet will make an appearance. The Emmy-winning actor took to Instagram to share his excitement about this opportunity, praising the talented team behind the series. Although Stonestreet has gained fame for his humorous role as Cameron Tucker in Modern Family, he boasts a diverse acting background with dramatic roles on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and HBO’s political thriller film Confirmation.

Who Else Has Joined The Dexter: Resurrection Cast?

In the cast of Dexter: Resurrection, Stonestreet unites with franchise veterans such as Michael C. Hall (Dexter), David Zayas (Angel Batista), Jack Alcott (Harrison), and James Remar (the late father character Harry Morgan). The new additions to the ensemble feature high-profile actors like Uma Thurman, Neil Patrick Harris, Peter Dinklage, and Krysten Ritter.

Uma Thurman is set to play Charley, the head of security for Leon Prater, a wealthy philanthropist played by Peter Dinklage who has a mysterious dark side and seems to be the show’s main antagonist. Krysten Ritter takes on the role of Mia Lapierre, a well-known sommelier with a hidden “serial killer secret.” The character portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris remains unknown aside from his name, Lowell.

The plot specifics of Dexter: Resurrection are currently under wraps, but the storyline is expected to revolve around these new characters and their intricate relationships.

It remains uncertain how Dexter Morgan will interact with the new characters or how they fit into the plot, and it’s also unclear what role the returning characters play. However, fans are aware that Debra Morgan, played by Jennifer Carpenter, won’t be a part of the upcoming series “Dexter: Resurrection.” Although she reappeared as Debra in “Dexter: New Blood,” with Harry’s ghost being replaced by Debra after her death, Carpenter has stated that she feels she’s finished with that character but wishes everyone working on the new show a great experience.

Despite some skepticism from fans about another Dexter series, others believe that Dexter: Resurrection could revitalize the franchise. The original Dexter show was once highly acclaimed as one of television’s top productions. However, its reputation took a hit due to less impressive later seasons and two unsuccessful finales. Some argue that it might be best to let the series conclude, but others contend that Dexter: Resurrection could provide a more fulfilling ending for Dexter Morgan if done well. At this point, it remains to be seen how Dexter: Resurrection will pan out, but there is certainly growing curiosity about the cast they are assembling for the new series.

Dexter: Resurrection is scheduled to premiere in the summer of 2025 on Paramount Plus.
