Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 brings Uma Thurman back as Charley
Dexter: Resurrection is bringing back another key player for its second season, as Deadline has broken the news that Uma Thurman is set to reprise her role as Charley. The character was introduced in the first season of the “Paramount+ with Showtime” revival, and her return suggests she’ll have a larger part to play as the series continues to expand its story.
What is Dexter?
For eight seasons and 96 episodes, from 2006 to 2013, the series Dexter ran on Showtime, telling the story of Dexter Morgan, a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department who is also a vigilante serial killer. Clyde Phillips was showrunner on Dexter for the first four seasons, and in 2021 he and Showtime brought us the revival series Dexter: New Blood… which, for a time, also seemed to be the end of it all. But that’s not the case.
Showtime has tasked Phillips with continue to build up the Dexter franchise, first with a season of the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin and then with the New Blood follow-up called Dexter: Resurrection, which premiered last July. (You can read our review HERE.) Now, Dexter: Resurrection season 2 is moving forward.
Phillips had also been expecting to put together another season of Dexter: Original Sin, but Showtime decided to reverse their decision to renew the show and cancelled it.
During an appearance on The Dark Passengers: A Dexter Podcast four months ago, Phillips said that the Dexter: Resurrection season 2 writers’ room opened on October 6th and that it would take around five months to write all of the scripts. Filming will then begin on Monday, April 13, 2026. Like the first season, the new season will be set and shot in New York City.
A Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios production, Dexter: Resurrection is being executive produced by Clyde Phillips, Michael C. Hall, Scott Reynolds, Tony Hernandez, and Lilly Burns. Marcos Siega is the producing director. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
Cast
Michael C. Hall, who played Dexter Morgan in the original series and Dexter: New Blood, and also provided the in-character narration for Dexter: Original Sin, is back in the lead for Dexter: Resurrection. Hall is joined in the cast by fellow series regulars Jack Alcott and James Remar, with Alcott reprising his Dexter: New Blood role of Dexter’s son Harrison, and Remar returning as Dexter’s adoptive father Harry Morgan. We’ll probably be seeing the return of some of the new supporting characters that were introduced in the first season as well.
Uma Thurman’s character is Charlotte “Charley” Brown, a former Special Ops operator who worked as Head of Security for serial killer enthusiast billionaire Leon Prater. Charley left New York City with her mother at the end of the first season, going home to Amherst, Pennsylvania… but it looks like she’s still going to be part of Dexter’s life in some way.
Last week, we learned that Brian Cox (Manhunter) has joined the cast of Dexter: Resurrection season 2 as the New York Ripper, “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.“
