‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Season 2 Trailer Sets Up Brian Cox & Dan Stevens’ Killer New Roles

America’s favorite fictional serial killer is back in Dexter: Resurrection‘s second season, and Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) is having a midlife crisis just as a duo of new murderers arrives on the scene in the official trailer above. The show returns to Paramount+ on October 30.

The two new killers in the trailer are The New York Ripper Don Frampt (Brian Cox), a serial killer who terrorized the City years ago, and Owen Stark (Dan Stevens), the Five Borough Killer, and the second big bad of Season 2.

From showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, the second season of Dexter: Resurrection finds Dexter Morgan caught between two killers — one with decades of notoriety and a lifetime of kills behind him, and the other a fresh young face terrorizing New York in ways no one has ever seen. Meanwhile, Dexter battles a new and unexpected enemy: a mid-life crisis. Harrison (Jack Alcott) continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter yet.

A third serial killer will be highlighted in Season 2, Ray Ballard (Gabriel Luna), who operates under the name The Sleepy-Eyed Stranger. Krysten Ritter is also coming back to the show; in what capacity is as yet unknown. There’s plenty of speculation about her character, Mia LaPierre, aka Lady Vengeance, still being alive, but she could also return as a ghost.

Franchise star Desmond Harrington, who first appeared briefly in Season 1 of Dexter: Resurrection, was upped to series regular for Season 2, so expect to see a lot more Joey Quinn. The cast will also include newcomer Bokeem Woodbine as Capt. Mixon and Nona Parker Johnson as Fiona Mixon, and the returning cast includes Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusa, and James Remar.
