“Lovecraft Country” Actress Jamie Chung Joins the Cast of Showtime’s “Dexter” Revival
Fresh off her standout role as Ji-Ah in HBO’s “Lovecraft Country,” THR reports today that Jamie Chung has joined the cast of “Dexter,” Showtime’s fresh revival of their own series.
“Chung will play Molly, a famous true-crime podcaster from Los Angeles.”
Additionally, “Oscar Wahlberg will play Zach, the captain of the Iron Lake High School wrestling team. He’s a bit of a bully, but generally the go-to-guy to have a good time. He’s the gateway to the in-crowd, which includes the daughter of the chief of police.”
Chung and Wahlberg join the returning Michael C. Hall in the revival, with the cast also including Clancy Brown, Julia Jones, Alano Miller, Johnny Sequoyah and Jack Alcott.
“Set 10 years after Dexter Morgan went missing in the eye of Hurricane Laura, the revival sees the character now living under an assumed name in a world away from Miami.”
Clyde Phillips is back as showrunner for the revival, likely arriving in Fall 2021.
“Dexter” ran for eight seasons between 2006 and 2013.
For the first time ever, a real dog is playing Scooby-Doo in the upcoming Netflix series “Scooby-Doo: Origins,” and the streamer has revealed a first look at the dog this week.
Meet the real-life Scooby-Doo below!
Maxwell Jenkins (“Lost in Space”) will play Fred, Tanner Hagen (“The Pitt”) will play Shaggy, and Abby Ryder Fortson (Ant-Man) will play Velma, joining Mckenna Grace (Scream 7) as Daphne in the upcoming live action prequel series, “Scooby-Doo: Origins.”
The new series is “a modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder.
“Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.”
Josh Appelbaum (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) and Scott Rosenberg (Venom, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) are showrunners and writers.
Toby Haynes (“Andor,” “Black Mirror”) will direct the first of eight episodes, in addition to serving as an executive producer. Greg Berlanti (“Riverdale,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) will executive produce the upcoming Netflix series with Sarah Schechter and Leigh London Redman via Berlanti Productions and its overall deal with Warner Bros. Television.
Look for “Scooby-Doo: Origins” on Netflix in 2027.
For more than 50 years, Scooby-Doo has been a pop culture powerhouse — three theatrical films, more than a dozen animated series, and nearly 40 animated home entertainment movies later, Mystery Inc. is stronger than ever. As one of the most recognizable and iconic franchises in entertainment, Scooby-Doo continues to thrill fans across generations.
