Article Summary

  • Brian Cox joins Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 as Don Framt, the infamous New York Ripper.
  • Framt is a retired serial killer who still taunts survivors, ramping up the drama for Dexter Morgan.
  • Filming on Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 begins in less than two weeks with the cast and crew returning.
  • Michael C. Hall returns as Dexter, with gripping new mysteries set in New York City.

Only a day after director/EP Marcos Siega and writer/EP Scott Reynolds dropped the news that filming on the second season of series star and EP Michael C. Hall and Showrunner Clyde Phillips's Dexter: Resurrection would be getting underway in less than two weeks, Variety revealed that Hall's Dexter Morgan will be joined by a very familiar face. Award-winning actor Brian Cox (HBO's Succession) has reportedly been cast as Don Framt, aka The New York Ripper, mentioned in the first season after a file on Framt was found by Dexter and Det. Wallace (Kadia Saraf) in Prater's (Peter Dinklage) vault. According to the description, Cox's Framt is "a serial killer who terrorized the City years ago. Though no longer active as a killer, he's found a new way to live into his infamy by continuing to taunt the survivors of his long-ago murder spree."

UPDATE: And it's now been made official:

Previously, Siega took to Instagram to share an image with Reynolds to let us know that the cameras will start rolling in two weeks (12 days and counting, according to the countdown that the director included at the time this was written, earlier this week):

"Hero Cat or Copy Cat? Either way, we are getting ready for #DexterResurrection season 2," Reynolds wrote as the caption to their latest Instagram post, also setting the stage for the start of filming:

In the follow-up to the original series and Dexter: New Blood, Dexter: Resurrection takes place weeks after Dexter Morgan (Hall) takes a bullet to the chest from his own son, as he awakens from a coma to find Harrison gone without a trace. Realizing the weight of what he put his son through, Dexter sets out for New York City, determined to find him and make things right. But closure won't come easily. When Miami Metro's Angel Batista arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching up to him fast. As father and son navigate their own darkness in the city that never sleeps, they soon find themselves deeper than they ever imagined – and that the only way out is together.

Paramount+ with Showtime's Dexter: Resurrection 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.
