John Lithgow & Jimmy Smits Will Return in ‘Dexter: Resurrection’

Published

on

John Lithgow and Jimmy Smits will reprise their “Dexter” roles in “Dexter: Resurrection.”

Lithgow starred as serial killer Arthur Mitchell, better known as the Trinity Killer, in the fourth season of “Dexter” and made a cameo in “Dexter: New Blood.” Smits played Season 3 antagonist Miami Assistant District Attorney Miguel Prado.

Both characters were killed by Dexter, but that doesn’t mean they can’t come back to haunt him.

Currently in production in New York, the new limited series is expected to premiere this summer on Paramount+ with Showtime.

Michael C. Hall will reprise his role as serial killer Dexter Morgan alongside David Zayas as Angel Batista, Jack Alcott as Harrison Morgan, James Remar as Harry Morgan, and David Magidoff as Teddy Reed.

Peter Dinklage will play the season’s main villain, Leon Prater, a billionaire venture capitalist, with Uma Thurman as Charley, a former Special Ops officer who serves as his right-hand woman.

Krysten Ritter, Neil Patrick Harris, Eric Stonestreet, David Dastmalchian, and Steve Schirripa will guest star. Other newcomers to the franchise include Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusaand, and Emilia Suárez.

Original “Dexter” showrunner Clyde Phillips returns while fellow “Dexter” alumnus Marcos Siega serves as producing director. He’ll helm four episodes, with Monica Raymund (“Dexter: Original Sin”) directing the other four.

Based on Jeff Lindsay’s novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter, “Dexter” ran for eight seasons between 2006 and 2013. It was revived in 2021 with “Dexter: New Blood.” Hall returned to narrate as Dexter’s inner voice in the prequel series “Dexter: Original Sin,” which debuted in December.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of “Stranger Things,” and Netflix is celebrating with a surprise treat that brings to life a longtime dream from creators Matt and Ross Duffer.

Now streaming only on Netflix, the “Stranger Things: VHS Special Edition” puts a retro style VHS filter atop the entire first season of Netflix’s pop culture sensation!

Netflix previews, “Rewind and relive the first season with a video store vibe that’s glitchy, grainy and gloriously vintage — just like you’d have rented it in 1983.”

You can watch this version by searching Stranger Things VHS on Netflix.

All eight episodes of “Stranger Things” Season 1… VHS style… enjoy!

The Duffer Brothers had expressed their desire for a VHS edition of “Stranger Things” Season 1 in an interview a while back. They said, “I’ve been bugging them about this forever. I want a VHS, pan and scan version of at least Season One. Put it on Netflix. The nerd in me loves it.”

The brothers have also released a new statement in celebration of today’s 10th anniversary of the first season. They tell Netflix, “We’re feeling so many emotions today. Nostalgic, proud, and a little sad too. But above all, we feel grateful — for our amazing cast, who we watched grow into wonderful human beings; for the hundreds of brilliant artists who devoted so much of themselves to bringing the story to life; and for you, the fans, whose dedication, patience, and passion fueled all of us throughout the years.”

Executive producer Shawn Levy adds in a statement, “It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Stranger Things first turned our world upside down. One of the greatest joys of this past decade has been watching these characters, and our incredible cast, grow up alongside the fans who have made Hawkins a place they return to again and again. We’re so grateful for their devotion, and we’re excited to celebrate this special anniversary with them. Hawkins forever.”
