Showtime revealed that Thurman has joined the cast as a series regular in the role of Charley, “the head of security for mysterious billionaire Leon Prater. A former Special Ops officer, Charley worked various high-level private security jobs before taking on her position as the resourceful and meticulous right-hand woman for Prater.”

Dexter: Resurrection stars Hall as titular serial killer Dexter Morgan; he will also be the narrator, as he was in the previous series. Paramount+ with Showtime already announced additional cast members including David Zayas as Detective Angel Batista, friend and co-worker to Dexter; James Remar as Dexter’s deceased father, Harry Morgan; and Jack Alcott, who played Dexter’s son, Harrison Morgan, in Dexter: New Blood.
