It was established in Dexter: Resurrection that the New York Ripper once terrorised the city — never caught, and silent for years.
But something didn’t sit right.
By the end of the season, it was heavily hinted that Dexter (Michael C. Hall) had uncovered the killer’s identity, digging through the files of that season’s big bad, Leon Prater (Peter Dinklage).
A showdown was coming.
Now… it’s official.
Brian Cox has been cast as Dexter’s next nemesis in Season 2.
Cox is a serious addition to the world of Dexter, and the expectation is clear.
He now steps into the shadow of John Lithgow’s Trinity Killer — still widely regarded as the show’s most iconic and terrifying villain, and the benchmark every “big bad” is judged against.
No pressure and makes Dexter Season 2 a must watch.
