Game of Thrones alumni are landing notable roles, with Michael C. Hall set to reprise his character in the upcoming Dexter: Resurrection, following the successful revival Dexter: New Blood. Peter Dinklage and Uma Thurman are also joining the cast, with Dinklage portraying a billionaire with hidden secrets. This wave of nostalgia for classic series is evident, as interest grows for revivals of beloved shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Dexter is anticipated to air in 2025.
Game of Thrones Stars and Their Next Big Roles
If you were a fan of **Game of Thrones** during its run in the 2010s, the impressive cast certainly left a lasting impression. Unfortunately, aside from a few notable appearances, many actors from the series haven’t enjoyed remarkable careers post-HBO. However, there’s exciting news for fans, as one of the show’s biggest stars is set to return in a revival of another beloved series: **Dexter**.
Get Ready for Dexter’s Comeback
While **Game of Thrones** has undeniably reshaped the television landscape and established new benchmarks for production quality, it’s important to remember that several iconic series paved the way beforehand. Classics such as **Buffy the Vampire Slayer**, **X-Files**, **Lost**, and of course, **Dexter**, a gripping police drama that audaciously followed the life of a real psychopath, were all significant in their own right.
Originally airing from 2006 to 2013, **Dexter** achieved remarkable success, leading to a revival in 2021 with **Dexter: New Blood**. Although this revival served as a concluding chapter to the original series and was not renewed for another season, excitement is brewing for yet another continuation titled **Dexter: Resurrection**. Scheduled to follow the events of New Blood, this new installment is essentially a **season 10 of Dexter** and will once again star **Michael C. Hall** as Dexter. The series is anticipated to premiere on Showtime in 2025.
As anticipation builds for this new chapter, the cast continues to evolve. Initially, it was confirmed that Michael C. Hall and James Remar would return to their roles, but recently, actress **Uma Thurman** has also been announced as part of the cast. Just this week, **Deadline** shared that **Peter Dinklage**, known for his unforgettable role as **Tyrion Lannister** in **Game of Thrones**, will join the ensemble.
Peter Dinklage has successfully taken on various prominent roles beyond **Game of Thrones**, including performances in **X-Men: Days of Future Past**, **Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri**, **Cyrano**, and the upcoming **Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes**. In **Dexter: Resurrection**, Dinklage will portray **Leon Prater**, a beloved billionaire whose philanthropic image conceals dark secrets. He’ll be supported by Uma Thurman’s character, Charley, who serves as his security chief. While details about these characters remain under wraps, fans can expect promotional materials to surface in the coming months.
Nostalgia is a powerful force in Hollywood, and it seems that beloved series are making a significant return. Recently, whispers about a revival of **Buffy the Vampire Slayer** have emerged, adding to the excitement surrounding classic shows making a comeback.
