'Dexter: Resurrection' Season 2 brings 'Ghostbusters' and 'The Handmaid's Tale' stars to its illustrious cast
Season 2 of 'Dexter: Resurrection' is pulling out all the stops before the chaos unfolds on the screen. Still in the absence of an official release date, 'Dexter: Resurrection' Season 2 has gathered one of the most remarkable ensemble casts of all time. It was recently confirmed that the Paramount+ with Showtime series has officially cast Bokeem Woodbine and Nona Parker Jackson in pivotal roles for the upcoming season.
Woodbine will be seen in the second installment of the 'Dexter' spinoff show as Captain Mixon. Described as a bulldog of a homicide captain, Mixon is someone who will investigate to the very root of the crime and take into account every piece of evidence before uncovering the truth hidden. Alongside Woodbine, Parker Jackson will play Fiona Mixon, a homicide training officer with a 'nep-baby' element. It is worth noting that Fiona supposedly has a connection with John Alcott's Harrison Morgan. Things might not look up for the titular protagonist in the upcoming season after all!
The casting choice for 'Dexter: Resurrection' has gone a long way toward establishing the show's tonal shift, moving from a regular spinoff to a carefully crafted standalone. Woodbine is known for his roles in 'Fargo' and 'Halo', while Johnson previously appeared in the popular shows 'The Handmaid's Tale' and 'Mayor of Kingstown'. Both actors are skilled in their craft and can be expected to contribute their own expertise to an already considerable cast. As of this writing, the other stars who have been cast for the upcoming installment include veteran actor and 'Succession' star Brian Cox as The New York Ripper and Dan Stevens as the 'Five Borough Killer'. Uma Thurman, whose character Charley escaped at the end of the debut season, will return to reprise her role.
In conclusion, one might speculate that with such a balanced cast portraying both formidable law enforcement officers and accomplished serial killers, Dexter Morgan might have his hands full. He must also reconcile with his son and navigate the murky world of serial crime once again. According to a recent Instagram post by director Maros Siega, filming for Season 2 has begun. The upcoming season can be expected to finally delve deep into the origins and the modus operandi of The New York Ripper, which had only been briefly hinted at in the debut season. Moreover, there's also the threat from Rapunzel, or Al Walker, as he's the only serial killer from billionaire Leon Prater's group. Since Dexter is slated to return to NYC, maintaining his double identity would be quite a struggle.
