The former Dexter star shared an Instagram reel that instantly grabbed fans’ attention.
A blood-tingling Dexter reunion is happening in just a few days, and fans of the hit Showtime series have every reason to be excited. Six beloved cast members—James Remar (Harry), Julie Benz (Rita), Jennifer Carpenter (Debra), David Zayas (Batista), Desmond Harrington (Quinn), and Erik King (Doakes)—are coming together for a special Dexter panel at Scaradise, Central Florida’s annual pop culture and horror convention.
When and Where to See the Dexter Cast
In a location that feels almost tailor-made for a Dexter celebration, fan-favorite cast members will reunite for an exclusive panel on Sunday, October 5th. But the excitement begins even earlier—on Friday, October 3rd, and Saturday, October 4th, fans can enjoy photo ops, autograph signings, and special meet-and-greet opportunities with the cast.
Even though Michael C. Hall won’t be attending, this gathering is shaping up to be one of the most important Dexter reunions in years, a rare chance for fans to meet the actors who brought Miami Metro’s most memorable characters to life.
Julie Benz’s Clever Reel Is a Killer Teaser
To help promote the event, Julie Benz, who played Dexter’s beloved wife Rita across 49 unforgettable episodes, dropped a brilliantly playful reel on Instagram yesterday. Filmed in her backyard, Benz dons a black apron and channels her on-screen husband in a cheeky nod to Dexter’s dark side.
The video begins with her sharpening a large kitchen knife, instantly evoking Dexter’s ritualistic preparations. She then unrolls plastic wrap, a sly reference to the infamous kill table, followed by duct tape, a wink to both Dexter and his brother Brian Moser.
The clever twist? Rita was completely unaware of Dexter’s double life during the series, making this playful “Dexter cosplay” all the more ironic. Fans flooded the comments with GIFs of Arthur Mitchell (The Trinity Killer), keeping alive the long-running tradition of teasing Rita’s fate in Dexter Season 4’s unforgettable finale.
