Desmond Harrington Returning in Dexter: Resurrection? Joey Quinn Actor Teases Comeback!

The beloved actor is set to appear in the upcoming Dexter: Final Cut aftershow.



Dexter: Resurrection is now in its fourth consecutive week of production, with filming taking place in New York City—a brand-new setting for the Dexter franchise. This marks a striking contrast to the sun-soaked Miami backdrop of Dexter: Original Sin and the original Dexter series.

Returning Cast Members: Familiar Faces Join the Sequel

Michael C. Hall was the first confirmed actor for the highly anticipated sequel, announced during San Diego Comic-Con. Since then, Showtime has revealed that David Zayas (Angel Batista), James Remar (Harry Morgan), and Jack Alcott (Harrison Morgan) will also return as series regulars, joining Hall in the new installment.

The latest major casting announcement involves Hollywood icon Uma Thurman, who has also signed on for a series regular role. However, since the official announcement 10 days ago, casting updates have been notably scarce, despite production progressing at full speed in NYC.

Is Desmond Harrington Returning as Joey Quinn?

One major question remains: Will Desmond Harrington reprise his role as Detective Joey Quinn? A native New Yorker, Harrington portrayed Quinn from Season 3 through Season 8 of Dexter, and speculation about his return has been gaining traction among fans.

The rumors intensified following the release of Dexter: Original Sin Episode 8, as Harrington is set to appear as a guest on Dexter: Final Cut, the official aftershow companion for the prequel series, hosted by Jamie Chung.

Adding fuel to the fire, Harrington shared a teaser clip from his interview on Showtime’s aftershow via Instagram earlier today. In the snippet, when Chung directly asked if Quinn would appear in Dexter: Resurrection, Harrington played coy, responding:

“I will not say a f*cking word. I don’t know.”

After delivering this cryptic response, Harrington smirked—a moment that didn’t go unnoticed. Chung, reading into his reaction, remarked: “Oh, look at that smirk. I know how to read people.”

Watch the video below:


This moment mirrors James Remar’s initial reluctance to confirm his return, despite his body language suggesting otherwise. Could the same be happening with Harrington?

Why Joey Quinn’s Return Would Be Crucial

For years, fans have speculated that Quinn may have suspected Dexter’s dark secret all along. If he does return, his involvement in Dexter: Resurrection could be pivotal, possibly shaping the new storyline in unexpected ways.

While Showtime has yet to confirm Harrington’s return, his inclusion in Dexter: Final Cut seems far from coincidental. If Quinn is back, his role in the sequel series might be more significant than ever.

Stay tuned to Dexter Daily—the full Desmond Harrington interview will be available tomorrow!
