Dexter: Resurrection – John Lithgow Teases Trinity Killer Appearance

John Lithgow apparently confirmed his return as Arthur Mitchell, aka "The Trinity Killer," for an appearance in Dexter: Resurrection.

It's not like we didn't already love John Lithgow, but the amazing actor is proving to be a great source of news about some pretty big projects that he's involved in. Previously, he confirmed that he would be portraying Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore in HBO's upcoming "Harry Potter" series and even offered some personal insights. Now, it seems Lithgow will be returning to the role of Arthur Mitchell, aka "The Trinity Killer," for Paramount+ with Showtime's Michael C. Hall-starring and executive-producing Dexter: Resurrection. During the latest edition of Variety's latest edition of "Know Their Lines," Lithgow discussed the character and how he prepared for the role.

From there, Lithgow added that he "just went back to do a day" – which sounds very much like he went back to film something for "Resurrection" (which is currently filming). "I just went back to do a day," the actor shared. "They're rebooting the entire Michael C. Hall version of 'Dexter.' And it turns out he didn't die after all. I come back sort of as a phantom as he gradually comes to life on a hospital bed." Considering Trinity was killed during the fourth season (but not before hitting Hall's Dexter Morgan hard before his death), Lithgow's return makes sense. Maybe this could lead to that prequel series that's been talked about…

Here's a look at Lithgow in Variety's latest edition of "Know Their Lines," followed by a look at what we know so far about the sequel series:
