Uma Thurman Cast As Series Regular In Dexter: Resurrection

Uma Thurman has officially been cast as a series regular in the Showtime original series Dexter: Resurrection. Picking up where Dexter: New Blood left off, Michael C. Hall comes back to life as the beloved serial killer Dexter Morgan after getting shot by his son Harrison. Filming is already underway, with David Zayas, James Remar, and Jack Alcott also confirmed as series regulars. Dexter: Resurrection is set to premiere in June 2025.

According to Deadline, Thurman will portray a former Special Ops officer, Charley, who now serves as the Head of Security for Leon Prater, a mysterious billionaire. Her background suggests that Charley is not only skilled at physical combat, but also highly strategic—a combination that could make her an impressive obstacle in Dexter’s path. The award-winning actress is also known for her roles in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, as well as the HBO drama Hysterical Blindness.

What Thurman’s Casting In Dexter: Resurrection Means

Star Power Meets Suspense In Dexter’s Next Act

Dexter: Resurrection hopes to amend the ill-fated conclusion of its titular character, who has now seen two contentious finales after the original Dexter series and his supposed death in the climactic ending of New Blood. With the success of the latest prequel series Dexter: Original Sin, which confirmed that Dexter survived his son’s bullet in New Blood, it’s clear that fans of the franchise are as eager as ever to follow the vigilante’s bloody pursuit of justice against criminals who evade the system.

Thurman’s casting in Dexter: Resurrection is a bold new direction for the franchise, bringing a high-caliber addition to its signature suspense. Much like Jon Lithgow’s award-winning performance as the Trinity Killer in Dexter season 4, Thurman’s Charley seems poised to be an intellectual and challenging foil for Dexter. If her boss happens to be one of Dexter’s next targets, the stage is set for an electrifying battle of wits, where the billionaire’s fastidious head of security will clash with Dexter’s calculated brutality.
