Dexter: John Lithgow, Jimmy Smits Returning for "Resurrection": Report

John Lithgow and Jimmy Smits are reportedly set to resume their respective roles for Paramount+ with Showtime's Dexter: Resurrection.

A little more than a week after John Lithgow (Conclave, The World According to Garp) pretty much confirmed that he would be making a return appearance as Arthur Miller, the Trinity Killer, during Paramount+ with Showtime's Michael C. Hall-starring and executive-producing Dexter: Resurrection, Deadline Hollywood is confirming Lithgow's confirmation – and that's not all. In addition, Jimmy Smits (NYPD Blue, Sons of Anarchy) is expected to reprise his role as ADA Miguel Prado. Lithgow would go on to win an Emmy Award for his part, while Smit would receive an Emmy nomination. Previously, Lithgow's Miller appeared in a flashback scene during "New Blood," while a younger version of Smits' Miguel made an appearance during "Original Sin" (with Nick Santucci portraying the character).
