The former Dexter star secured the role in the Yellowstone prequel last summer.
Jennifer Carpenter, beloved for her iconic portrayal of Debra Morgan, Dexter's sharp-tongued sister, in all eight seasons of Dexter and Dexter: New Blood, has landed her first post-Dexter television role. Carpenter will appear in the highly anticipated second season of Paramount+'s Yellowstone prequel series, 1923, where she takes on the role of Mamie Fossett.
In the official trailer released this week, fans got their first glimpse of Carpenter as Mamie Fossett. It's safe to say her transformation is striking, with an outfit fitting the period of the series, making her almost unrecognizable.
Mamie Fossett is a highly skilled U.S. Deputy Marshal, known for her confidence, sharp judgment, and advanced methods of serving warrants and making arrests. Carpenter’s role in 1923 is a significant shift from her previous work, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
With this role, it looks like Carpenter is cementing her place with Paramount+, but it remains to be seen if she will return for the streaming service’s Dexter: New Blood sequel, Dexter: Resurrection. Fans will surely be eager to see if she reprises her role in the Dexter universe.
Take a look at the official trailer for 1923 below and catch a sneak peek of Carpenter's new role at the 0:39 mark.
