DEXTER's Trinity Killer Spin-Off Gets Major Update From Franchise Showrunner — GeekTyrant
During a panel at CCXP Mexico (via Reddit user TheSystolicGem), Phillips revealed: 'All ten episodes of the Trinity Killer have been written.' So, the show is ready to roll, but the show hasn't been greenlit for production just yet.
The holdup may have less to do with the show's content and more to do with strategy. Showtime is already juggling multiple Dexter-related projects, including Dexter: Original Sin , a prequel series diving into young Dexter's 1990s origins, and Dexter: Resurrection , which will see Michael C. Hall return in some form.
Phillips and his team might be waiting to see how Resurrection performs before launching another full-fledged series. That could be why Trinity's fate is still in limbo.
The Trinity Killer, played masterfully by John Lithgow in Season 4, remains the franchise's most memorable antagonist and arguably its most psychologically layered. Lithgow is expected to return in some form, likely as a narrator or in brief flashbacks.
The spin-off would explore the killer's earlier life and twisted methods long before Dexter ever crossed his path. Given that Arthur Mitchell, Trinity's real name, was active for decades, there's room to span multiple timelines, family secrets, and possibly new victims.
Dexter Season 4 dropped some major breadcrumbs, including the existence of a secret daughter Trinity fathered outside of his seemingly perfect suburban life. Her origins, and her mother's identity, were never explored.
With Lithgow confirmed to cameo in Resurrection , his presence might help build the momentum needed to push the Trinity project forward. If Resurrection hits the numbers Showtime hopes for, then Trinity's past has a good chance of slicing into the present lineup.

Mexican-American designer apologizes for Adidas sandal design accused of cultural appropriation
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican-American clothing designer Willy Chavarria has apologized for an Adidas sandal he created after being accused by Mexican authorities of 'cultural appropriation' for imitating an Indigenous shoe design. The design launched by Adidas, known as the Oaxaca Slip On, is a black sandal with braided leather straps attached to a chunky sports shoe sole. Mexican artisans and authorities say the intricate leather braids look strikingly similar to the traditional footwear known as huaraches made by the Zapotec Indigenous people in Oaxaca, produced mostly in the town of Villa Hidalgo Yalalag. They have accused the brand and Chavarria of 'cultural appropriation' and of copying the design without the permission of the Indigenous community. Authorities were quick to note that cultural Mexican designs have long been copied by major brands before, and said they planned to tighten laws to protect Mexican designs. Chavarria responded to mounting criticisms in comments sent to The Associated Press on Tuesday. In a statement addressed to the 'people of Oaxaca,' he said that the design was intended to 'to honor the powerful cultural and artistic spirit of Oaxaca and its creative communities — a place whose beauty and resistance have inspired me.' 'I am deeply sorry that the shoe was appropriated in this design and not developed in direct and meaningful partnership with the Oaxacan community,' Chavarria wrote. 'This falls short of the respect and collaborative approach that Oaxaca, the Zapotec community of Villa Hidalgo Yalalag, and its people deserve.' Chavarria is a Mexican-American designer, who has risen to fame for his designs exploring Chicano, or Mexican-American, culture, often mixing Mexican themes with American products. His designs include sweaters reading 'Chicano' in red, scripted font, and styles with the Mexican flag and cowboy hats reminiscent of northern Mexican culture. In recent months, Chavarria also was put in the spotlight for a show at Paris Fashion Week that was intended as criticism of the Trump administration's deportation policy. Chavarria's comments came days after Adidas made a public apology for the design, and in a statement said it was reaffirming 'our commitment to collaborate with Yalalag in a respectful dialogue that honors their cultural legacy.' Last week, in a letter to Oaxacan state officials, the company requested to sit down with local officials and to discuss how it can 'repair the damage' to Indigenous populations. 'Adidas recognizes and values the cultural richness of Mexico's Indigenous communities and the meaning of their artisanal heritage,' it wrote in a statement. Megan Janetsky, The Associated Press

LiAngelo Ball reveals why he pivoted from basketball to rap
LiAngelo Ball reveals why he pivoted from basketball to rap originally appeared on The Sporting News LiAngelo Ball is getting candid on why he chose to stick with rapping over his former career in basketball. The "Tweaker" rapper, who just released his debut album, League of My Own, last month, shared on the Bag Fuel podcast that his salary in basketball just wasn't cutting it. "I was in the G League, that's 3K a month as a grown man," he stated. LiAngelo (also known as Gelo) played for the Greensboro Swarm, which is the G League affiliate of the Charlotte Hornets. He also had was also at training camp for the Detroit Pistons, but he was waived before the season began. The rapper last played overseas in Mexico for the Astros de Jalisco. "When I got paid from music, it wasn't a hard decision. I wasn't contemplating like 'D--n I gotta hoop,'" Gelo said. Gelo is the brother of two NBA stars: Lonzo Ball and LaMelo. Lonzo currently plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers after playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Pelicans, and Chicago Bulls. He was traded from the Bulls in exchange for Isaac Okoro in June. As for LaMelo, he has been with the Hornets since he was selected third overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. While Gelo never played in the NBA, he has been successful in his rap career. After his breakout hit "Tweaker," he was offered a record deal with Def Jam for $13 million with $8 million guaranteed. The agreement with the label also gives Gelo full ownership of his music and his own record label, Born2Ball Music Group. Prior to securing a record deal, Gelo shared of his hoop dreams last year on the What An Experience podcast. "I'm still going... I'm not done... I like the Big3. I might just play in the Big3 because it's during the summer. I just like to hoop. That's it. That would be nice to hoop. I might get in the G League... Try to get pulled up the old-fashioned way." For now, fans will most likely be hearing of Gelo through their headphones rather than the court.
