Both actors are being considered by Showtime for the highly anticipated Dexter sequel!
Dexter: Resurrection, the highly anticipated sequel to Dexter: New Blood, begins filming this January, and there’s a casting rumor that will undoubtedly heighten fans' excitement.
Two Emmy-winning actors are reportedly in talks to join Michael C. Hall in Dexter: Resurrection: none other than Peter Dinklage and Gillian Anderson—two of the most accomplished and recognizable talents of their generation.
The scoop comes from TV journalist Jeff Sneider, known for breaking Hollywood news on website The InSneider. While he has a long track record in the industry, we advise exercising caution with this report. According to Sneider, Showtime is eyeing both actors for the new series, which picks up directly where Dexter: New Blood left off.
Peter Dinklage is mostly known for his iconic role as Tyrion Lannister in HBO’s critically acclaimed series Game of Thrones, a character he portrayed across all eight seasons. Gillian Anderson is equally renowned, with a résumé full of standout performances. She’s best known for her role as Dana Scully in the 1990s classic The X-Files. Fans of Dexter may also recognize her from The Fall, a British thriller with a dark, gripping tone reminiscent of Dexter. It’s a must-watch for any fan of the franchise.
If these negotiations come through, Dexter: Resurrection could be shaping up to be one of the most compelling installments in the series yet.
Filming for Dexter: Original Sin starring Patrick Gibson is nearing its conclusion, with the premiere now just 27 days away. As excitement builds, casting news for Dexter: Resurrection is expected to surface in the coming weeks. Hopefully, the rumored casting of Peter Dinklage and Gillian Anderson will soon be confirmed!
