Dexter: Jennifer Carpenter Addresses Possible "Resurrection" Return

With filming on Dexter: Resurrection currently underway, Jennifer Carpenter addressed the possibility of another return as Debra Morgan.

As we've seen over the past several weeks, Paramount+ with Showtime's currently filming Michael C. Hall-starring and executive-producing Dexter: Resurrection looks to have a nice mix of new and returning faces from the original series as well as "New Blood." But if you're expecting Jennifer Carpenter to return as Debra Morgan, then we've got some bad news to pass along. Although she returned to the role in the sequel series Dexter: New Blood, Carpenter shared with PEOPLE that she won't be "resurrecting" Deb for the second sequel series. "I am pretty focused where I am, and I feel like I've completed that box. I'm proud of it," Carpenter shared, not sounding like she was pulling an "Andrew Garfield" on all of us. "I hope that they're [Dexter: Resurrection team] having a wonderful time, and I'm so happy for the fans to have more to chew on," she added.

David Zayas (The Bear), Jack Alcott (The Good Lord Bird), and James Remar (Welcome to Derry) have joined the cast and will reprise their respective original series/"New Blood" roles as Detective Angel Batista, Harrison Morgan (Dexter's son), and Harry Morgan (Dexter's deceased father). In terms of new faces, Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill) and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones, Avengers: Infinity War) have joined the cast in series regular roles.

Dinklage's Leon Prater is a billionaire venture capitalist who is seen as a generous philanthropist by the world – but behind his polished exterior lies dark intrigue. Thurman's Charley is the head of security for mysterious billionaire Leon Prater (Dunklage), a former Special Ops officer who worked various high-level private security jobs before taking on her position as the resourceful and meticulous right-hand woman for Prater.

In addition, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine (The Lincoln Lawyer), Kadia Saraf (Law & Order: SVU), Dominic Fumusa (Elsbeth), and Emilia Suárez (Up Here) have joined the cast as series regulars. Mwine's Blessing Kamara is a rideshare driver who radiates unwavering optimism and is a man devoted to his family and community. Saraf's Detective Claudette Wallace is a razor-sharp investigator known for her methodical precision and unrelenting focus. Fumusa's Detective Melvin Oliva is Wallace's partner at the NYPD, who is the only one who understands his quirky partner. Suárez's Elsa Rivera is Harrison Morgan's (Jack Alcott) vibrant and determined friend and co-worker at the Empire Hotel.

Paramount+ with Showtime's Dexter: Original Sin is executive produced by Phillips and produced by Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios. Executive producers also include Hall,  Scott Reynolds (Jessica Jones), Mary Leah Sutton (Resident Evil), Tony Hernandez (Emily In Paris), and Lilly Burns (Russian Doll), with the series being produced by Robert Lloyd Lewis (The Lincoln Lawyer). Reuniting with Slater is Heathers' Michael Lehmann, who serves as directing executive producer.
