Krysten Ritter Returns to Dexter: Resurrection Season 2

Krysten Ritter is set to return for the second season of the Paramount series "Dexter Resurrection," despite her character's apparent death in the first season. The casting was confirmed on June 29, 2026, with Ritter joining the production as a guest star, though the nature of her role remains undisclosed.

Ritter played Mia LaPierre, also known as Lady Vengeance, a sommelier and serial killer who was part of a secretive club of predators in New York. Her character was arrested after being framed by Dexter Morgan and was later found dead in her prison cell in the first season's sixth episode. The show has a history of reviving characters and employing narrative twists, leaving open the possibility of flashbacks, a new character, or a revelation that her death was staged.

The series, a sequel to the original "Dexter" and its revival "Dexter: New Blood," continues the story of Dexter Morgan, played by Michael C. Hall, as he navigates life in New York while reconnecting with his son, Harrison, portrayed by Jack Alcott. Showrunner Clyde Phillips returns to helm the second season, which began filming in April 2026 and is expected to premiere in late 2026.
