It was just announced that Jennifer Carpenter will be returning for the upcoming revival of Dexter.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 41-year-old actress will reunite with original stars Michael C. Hall and John Lithgow in the limited series.

She was married to Michael off-screen from 2008 to 2011.

Jennifer starred as the title character’s sister in the Showtime show, and was actually killed off in the series finale.

The upcoming 10-episode revival will be set 10 years after after Dexter (Hall) went missing in the eye of Hurricane Laura, and is now living under an assumed name in Upstate New York.

Julia Jones, Johnny Sequoyah, Alano Miller and Jack Alcott will also star.

John Lithgow is joining the revival of Dexter.

Deadline reports that the actor is set to make an appearance in the series, which will premiere on Showtime this fall.

John won his fifth Emmy for his portrayal of the Trinity Killer on the series and fans of the show may remember that his character was actually killed by Dexter (Michael C. Hall) in the 2009 season finale.

Insiders told the outlet that John is only expected to film for about a day or so on set and that writers for the show worked to find a way for the Trinity Killer to come back that fits within the larger Dexter narrative.

The very first teaser for the show was released back in April and you can watch it here!

The Dexter revival series has added four more actors to its cast, which will bring back star Michael C. Hall in the title role.

Deadline reports that Julia Jones, Johnny Sequoyah, Alano Miller and Jack Alcott have all joined the upcoming Showtime series.

Julia is set to star as Angela Bishop, the first Native American Chief of Police in her town in upstate New York, and Johnny will play her “brash and opinionated” teenage daughter Audrey.

Meanwhile, Alano is set to take on the role of Logan, a sergeant for the Iron Lake Police Department and the assistant wrestling coach for the local high school, and Jack is Randall, with whom Dexter has a meaningful encounter.

The original series, which ran for eight seasons, centered on Dexter Morgan, who was a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami Police Department but moonlighted as a serial killer.

The main villain of the Dexter revival will be played by this Spongebob Squarepants actor.

Clancy Brown has been added to the cast of the Dexter reboot, The Wrap reports.

The 62-year-old actor will star as Kurt Caldwell, the “unofficial” mayor of Iron Lake, and also the main villain of the revived series.

Showtime adds to the character description, that Caldwell “realized the American dream by going from driving big rigs, just like his father did, to now owning several trucks and the local truck stop. Powerful, generous, loved by everyone — he’s a true man of the people. If he’s got your back, consider yourself blessed. But should you cross Kurt, or hurt anyone that he cares for, God help you.”

The revival is set for 10 episodes premiering in the fall, which will see Michael C. Hall returning in the title role.

The original Dexter series ran for eight seasons and many fans of the show, and cast, were not happy with how it ended.

Clancy is best known ass Kurgan in Highlander, Captain Byron Hadley in The Shawshank Redemption, and the voice of Mr. Krabs on SpongeBob SquarePants.

Clyde Phillips, the returning showrunner for the reboot of Dexter, is opening up about how the new season will be different than what fans have seen in the past.

In the series finale, Michael C. Hall‘s titular character faked his own death and went into exile in the middle of nowhere.

“We basically do get to start from scratch,” Clyde told THR. “We want this to not be Dexter season nine. Ten years, or however many years, have passed by the time this will air, and the show will reflect that time passage. So far as the ending of the show, this will have no resemblance to how the original finale was. It’s a great opportunity to write a second finale.”

Clyde acknowledged how fans, and even Michael, were not pleased with the finale, which aired back in September 2013.

“This is an opportunity to make that right,” he said. “But that’s not why we’re doing it.”

He added, “We’re not undoing anything. We’re not going to betray the audience and say, ‘Whoops, that was all a dream.’ What happened in the first eight years happened in the first eight years.”

“DEXTER is such a special series, both for its millions of fans and for SHOWTIME, as this breakthrough show helped put our network on the map many years ago,” Showtime Entertainment president Gary Levine said in a statement. “We would only revisit this unique character if we could find a creative take that was truly worthy of the brilliant, original series. Well, I am happy to report that Clyde Phillips and Michael C. Hall have found it, and we can’t wait to shoot it and show it to the world!”
