EXCLUSIVE: Dan Stevens (Zero Day, Downton Abbey) is the second new star joining the cast of Showtime‘s Dexter: Resurrection‘s second season as a series regular.
He follows the announcement of Brian Cox’s casting as the mysterious Season 1 enigma, the elusive Don Framt, The New York Ripper, and the return of Uma Thurman as Charley, the former Special Ops officer who worked for Leon Prater (Peter Dinklage) and fled the city in the Season 1 finale.
Stevens will play Owen Stark, the Five Borough Killer, and the second big bad of Season 2. Owen is a serial killer who, much like Zodiac, taunts the police with phone calls threatening the murder of innocent citizens. When he follows through with the awful deeds…the City and the Police are terrorized.
From showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, Season 1 of Dexter: Resurrection takes place weeks after Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) takes a bullet to the chest from his own son, as he awakens from a coma to find Harrison (Jack Alcott) gone without a trace. Realizing the weight of what he put his son through, Dexter sets out for New York City, determined to find him and make things right.
But closure won’t come easily. When Miami Metro’s Angel Batista (David Zayas) arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching up to him fast. As father and son navigate their darkness in the city that never sleeps, they soon find themselves deeper than they ever imagined — and that the only way out is together.
Season 1 also starred Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine as Blessing Kamara, Kadia Saraf as Detective Claudette Wallace, Dominic Fumusa as Detective Melvin Oliva, Emilia Suárez as Elsa Rivera, with James Remar as Dexter’s father, Harry Morgan. Neil Patrick Harris, Krysten Ritter, Eric Stonestreet, and David Dastmalchian guest-starred as Lowell, Mia, Al, and Gareth, respectively.
The log line for Season 2 is under wraps.
In addition to Phillips, Dexter: Resurrection is executive produced by Hall, Scott Reynolds, Marcos Siega, Tony Hernandez, and Lilly Burns. Additional executive producers include John Goldwyn and Sara Colleton, along with Veronica West, Kirsa Rein, Tanner Bean, and Katrina Mathewson. Paramount Television Studios and Counterpart Studios produce the series.
Stevens most recently starred in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, as well as the indie film Cuckoo. Upcoming, he will lead and serve as an executive producer for the horror, limited anthology series, The Terror: Devil in Silver. Additionally, Stevens will reunite for a third time with director Adam Wingard for the film Onslaught and will appear in the movie Babies, directed by Lauren Miller Rogan.
