AceShowbiz - The "Dexter" franchise is about to get a massive boost in star power. According to insider scoops from TV journalist Jeff Sneider, Emmy winners Peter Dinklage and Gillian Anderson are reportedly in negotiations to join Michael C. Hall in "Dexter: Resurrection," the eagerly awaited sequel to "Dexter: New Blood."

The original "Dexter" series, which debuted in the mid-2000s, was a groundbreaking show that boldly leaned into the anti-hero trend by centering on a serial killer with a code. Initially, it garnered immense acclaim and awards, but its latter seasons saw a decline in quality, culminating in a much-criticized series finale. Nevertheless, the show maintained strong viewership, mainly due to its compelling drama and lovable cast of characters.

After nearly a decade off the air, Dexter Morgan returned to screens in "Dexter: New Blood," a ten-episode mini-series that ended tragically with Dexter meeting his demise at the hands of his own son. Most fans assumed this would be the final chapter for Dexter Morgan, but Showtime had other plans.

Scheduled to start filming in January 2025 and aiming for a Summer 2025 release, "Dexter: Resurrection" will mark Dexter's return, despite the seemingly fatal gunshot wound he received in "New Blood."

The mystery surrounding "Dexter: Resurrection" not only centers on how Dexter survived but also on the roles Dinklage and Anderson might play. Given that Dexter's dark secret has now been exposed, he can no longer operate as a clandestine vigilante.

It's speculated that Dinklage and Anderson could embody roles as lawyers, FBI agents, or other law enforcement figures tasked with finally bringing Dexter to justice rather than portraying opposition serial killers. This is a significant departure from past seasons where notable actors like John Lithgow and Jimmy Smits took on villainous roles.

Peter Dinklage, renowned for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister in "Game of Thrones," and Gillian Anderson, famous for her roles as Dana Scully in "The X-Files" and the chilling Stella Gibson in "The Fall," bring a high level of talent and gravitas to any project. Their possible addition to "Dexter: Resurrection" could make it the most compelling installment in the franchise yet.

With the prequel series "Dexter: Original Sin" starring Patrick Gibson nearing its premiere, excitement is steadily building. All eyes are now on the upcoming casting confirmations and the intriguing new directions "Dexter: Resurrection" might take. Stay tuned - we're in for a thrilling ride.
