Dexter Revival Will Not Include Original Cast

When news first was announced that Dexter was returning, I, for one was curious as the show remains the worst series finale of all time, so I am intrigued as to where the story is going. With that news comes that none of the original cast will be returning. While speaking to a fan on Instagram, James Remar said that Showtime didn’t ask any of the original cast to return, although most of them were definitely open to it.

I will not be back as Harry Morgan in Dexter season 9… They just didn’t ask any of the original cast back, so I don’t know what they’re doing, I really have no idea. It’s too bad, because all of us wanted to go back, but, you know, it’s their show so they’re going to do what they’re going to do.

In addition to Michael C. Hall, the new season of Dexter is slate to star Jamie Chung (Lovecraft Country), Julia Jones (The Mandalorian), Alano Miller (Jane the Virgin), David Magidoff (The Morning Show), and Clancy Brown (Billions) as Kurt Caldwell.
