The cast of Showtime's Dexter revival continues to grow, as stars from Lovecraft Country and NOS4A2 have reportedly joined the project.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lovecraft Country's Jamie Chung and NOS4A2's Oscar Wahlberg have been added to the cast in recurring roles. Chung's character is named Molly, who lives in Los Angeles and runs a true crimes podcast. Wahlberg portrays Iron Lake High School wrestling captain Zach. While being somewhat of a bully, he is still seen as the person students turn to for a good time. "He's the gateway to the in-crowd, which includes the daughter of the chief of police," the description reads.
Dexter recently added four actors to its cast: Julia Jones, Alano Miller, Johnny Sequoyah and Jack Alcott. Jones will play Native American police officer Angela Bishop, Miller will play Iron Lake Police Sergeant and assistant wrestling coach Logan, Sequoyah will play Bishop's "brash and opinionated" daughter and Alcott will play Randall, "with whom Dexter has a meaningful encounter."
John Cusack has also been reported to join the Dexter revival for a recurring role, with another major addition being Clancy Brown as Kurt Caldwell, the primary villain going against Michael C. Hall.
Showtime's synopsis for Dexter can be found below.
He's smart, he's good looking, and he's got a great sense of humor. He's Dexter Morgan, everyone's favorite serial killer. As a Miami forensics expert, he spends his days solving crimes, and nights committing them. But Dexter lives by a strict code of honor that is both his saving grace and lifelong burden. Torn between his deadly compulsion and his desire for true happiness, Dexter is a man in profound conflict with the world and himself. Golden Globe winner Michael C. Hall stars in the hit SHOWTIME Original Series.
Created by Clyde Phillips, Dexter stars Michael C. Hall, Clancy Brown, Julia Jones, Alano Miller, Johnny Sequoyah and Jack Alcott. Showtime's revival series has yet to receive a premiere date.
