It looks like Dexter: Resurrection is shaping up to be quite the show, especially with the recent addition of Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage to its cast roster.
Just last month, fans were thrilled to hear about Uma Thurman’s involvement in the Dexter sequel series, Resurrection. Known for her iconic role in Kill Bill, Thurman’s presence already promised excitement. Now, as Deadline reports, another big name is joining the fold: Peter Dinklage. Many of us recognize him from his unforgettable portrayal of Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones. But that’s not all; Dinklage has also showcased his talent in movies like X-Men: Days of Future Past, Avengers: Infinity War, and briefly in the original Destiny. While we’re still waiting for an official series synopsis, Deadline has spilled some intriguing beans about Dinklage’s character.
Dinklage will step into the shoes of Leon Prater, described by Deadline as “a billionaire venture capitalist.” To outsiders, Leon seems like a charitable philanthropist, but lurking beneath his elegant facade is a world of dark intrigue. Rumor has it that Dinklage is likely to be the main antagonist this season, stirring up a perfect scenario for Dexter to target him. Whether Dexter succeeds or not is something we’ll have to wait and watch.
We’ve heard whispers about Prater before. Uma Thurman’s character, Charley, heads security for Prater. She’s depicted as a former Special Ops officer who has handled various top-tier private security roles before becoming Prater’s savvy and thorough right-hand woman. Pairing Thurman with Dinklage is a brilliant casting move, and it’s going to be interesting to see how their dynamic plays out in the storyline.
Meanwhile, Michael C. Hall is set to return as the titular Dexter. Fans last saw him in the 2021 series New Blood, and his presence lingered in the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin, where he lent his voice to narrate his younger self’s thrilling adventures.
All in all, with such a stellar cast lined up, Dexter: Resurrection promises to deliver an engaging and high-stakes storyline that fans are eagerly waiting to dive into.
