Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones, Love & Death) is joining the cast of Dexter: Resurrection, the new Dexter series on Showtime. She will play a guest role named “Mia.”
Here’s the Lowdown: The series, which began production in January 2025 in New York, brings back Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan. It also stars Uma Thurman, David Zayas and Jack Alcott. Ritter’s role is described only as “Mia.” The series will begin streaming in summer 2025.
What This Means Now: Ritter’s casting adds another recognizable name to an already high-profile project. Her previous roles in shows like Jessica Jones and Breaking Bad suggest she’s well-suited for the dark and complex world of Dexter.
The Bigger Picture: This new series follows the huge success of the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin, which became Showtime’s most-streamed global original series in a decade. The final episode of Original Sin scored 2.68 million global viewers. Dexter: Resurrection is executive produced and showrun by Clyde Phillips, who also worked on the original Dexter and Original Sin. Michael C. Hall also serves as an Executive Producer. The series is set to premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime in the summer of 2025.
