Fans of “Game of Thrones” will be intrigued to learn that a recognizable character has joined the cast of this upcoming series.

According to Deadline, it has been confirmed that Peter Dinklage has been added to the cast for ‘Dexter: Resurrection’. Details about his character have been revealed. The talented actor will portray a wealthy venture capitalist named Leon Prater. While he appears generous and compassionate by donating large sums to charity, there are hidden secrets lurking beneath. It’s also reported that Uma Thurman’s character in ‘Dexter: Resurrection’, Charley, serves as Leon’s head of security. Additionally, Leon will work alongside familiar characters such as Detective Angel Batista (David Zayas), Harry Morgan (James Remar), and Harrison Morgan (Jack Alcott).

Apart from his role as Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones from 2011 to 2019, Peter Dinklage lent his voice for a character in Rick and Morty’s sixth season. He has also made appearances on various TV series, such as playing Marlowe Sawyer on Nip/Tuck and Arthur Ramsey on Threshold. Some of Dinklage’s notable film roles include Casca Highbottom in the prequel The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Peter in Death at a Funeral, and the voice of Mighty Eagle in The Angry Birds Movie.

Regardless of the various TV or film characters Dinklage plays, fans will continue to be captivated by his experiences on Game of Thrones as the astute and impactful Tyrion. In a 2022 interview with The Sunday Times, he shared the reasons behind his fondness for embodying Tyrion, stating:

I truly pine for Tyrion, a man who effortlessly combined charm, wit, and depth in a world that often proved unkind. The writers masterfully crafted not only his memorable one-liners destined for T-shirts but also allowed him to transcend stereotypes. Receiving all ten scripts at once was like unwrapping a novel, a delight I devoured not to learn of my character’s fate, but simply because it brought me such pleasure.

Even though viewers must endure a few more months until the debut of “Dexter: Resurrection,” they can take comfort in anticipating the appearance of Leon, played by Dinklage. This character appears to be intriguing, potentially possessing just as many complexities and secrets as Dexter himself.

Viewers last saw Dexter Morgan in the episode titled “Sins of the Father” from the series Dexter: New Blood, which aired on January 9th, 2022. The finale seemed to show Dexter’s demise, sparking immense curiosity among fans about how he will return in the upcoming spinoff series. Ever since it was announced that there wouldn’t be a second season of Dexter: New Blood, fans have eagerly awaited updates regarding the spinoff titled Dexter: Resurrection. Initially, the Dexter prequel series, named Dexter: Original Sin, premiered in December 2024. Once Dexter: Resurrection debuts in June 2025, fans will be thrilled to delve deeper into the enigmatic life of Dexter.
