John Lithgow Set to Return as Trinity Killer in Showtime's 'Dexter' Revival

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!

Dexter‘s showrunner recently shared what fans can expect from the reboot. Check it out...

“It has been an exciting journey to work with the immensely talented team behind Perry Mason. Viewers have relished being transported back in time to 1930s Los Angeles each week, and we are thrilled to welcome the show back for a second season,” said HBO’s Francesca Orsi in a statement.

The show was originally pitched as a feature film for Robert Downey Jr.

If you haven’t watched yet, the show “is based on the character from the Erle Stanley Gardner novels — though it takes place before Mason becomes the defense attorney made familiar by the 1957-66 CBS series. In this Los Angeles noir version, Mason is a low-rent private investigator haunted by his wartime experience in France and suffering from a broken marriage.”

The series stars Matthew Rhys as Mason, with Juliet Rylance, Chris Chalk, Shea Whigham, Tatiana Maslany and John Lithgow also on the cast.

“It was an amazing feeling to be doing a film like this that is so much at the center of everybody’s consciousness these days. This really was kind of an origin story,” John told Seth Meyers while making an appearance on Late Night on Thursday (December 19). “When the Harvey Weinstein story broke, that’s when the dam broke. This was a hole in the dam.”

“It was a period of only about three weeks when so much happened and Roger Ailes life was just washed away,” John continued. “Karma caught up with him.

John Lithgow Talks To 'Jimmy' About His 'Bombshell' Transformation into Roger Ailes!

John Lithgow paid a visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night (December 17) and dishes about adding Roger Ailes to his collection of fat, old, bald men roles.

“I don’t know. They just want me for fat, old, bald men. Go figure!,” the 74-year-old actor expressed about his role in Bombshell, which centers around the women – Megyn Kelly (Theron), Gretchen Carlson (Kidman) and Kayla Pospisil (Robbie) – embroiled in the Fox News sexual assault scandal.

“The only hard acting is bad writing. This was a marvelous script by Charles Randolph, the Oscar winner from The Big Short,” John told Jimmy. “He told the story of Roger’s fall the way he told the story of the finical crisis in The Big Short.”

John Lithgow also revealed how he was inspired to make a political satire book of poetry about the Trump administration.
