The Dexter franchise is always good for peppering seasons with twisty reveals, and Resurrection certainly didn’t shy away from that in Season 1, from the Gemini Killer being twins to killing off David Zayas’ Angel and beyond. Season 2 is in production and putting its own twists on film, with Brian Cox portraying the New York Ripper, and we somehow already have a big twist to contend with in the form of returning cast member Krysten Ritter.
Ritter, who is also in the midst of reprising her MCU hero Jessica Jones in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3, was revealed by Deadline to be returning to Dexter Morgan’s world as a guest star in at least one episode destined for the 2026 TV schedule, if not more. (FWIW, she was credited as a “special guest star” for her three Season 1 episodes.) Most interestingly, the details behind her return are completely up in the air, to the point where it’s not even clear if she’ll be one of Dexter’s hallucinations or a completely different character.
