Showtime’s new Dexter revival is increasingly taking shape and starting production soon, with filming getting underway in the Boston area later this month. As the new season that’s intended to give the series a proper sendoff is releasing more and more details, Deadline is reporting that a cast has finally been set.
Joining Michael C. Hall (who plays antihero Dexter) and Clancy Brown (who will be playing the new main villain)–also known as Mr. Krabs on SpongeBob–will be Julia Jones (The Mandalorian), Alano Miller (Sylvie’s Love), Johnny Sequoyah (Believe), and Jack Alcott (The Good Lord Bird). The revival is a limited series that will span 10 episodes and is reportedly intended to make things right after Dexter wrapped in 2013 without showrunner Clyde Phillips’ involvement.
“We basically do get to start from scratch,” Phillips said on a recent episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s TV Top 5 podcast. “We want this to not be Dexter Season 9.”
