The story centers on Dexter the serial killer (Michael C. Hall) as he follows his estranged son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), to New York City – all the while, he's trailed by the ghost of his late father, Harry (James Remar), as his conscience.

'I definitely picked as many brains as I could. It really was a master class each and every day, each and every person. There were plenty of days that I didn't even work. I wasn't called [to set], but I came in to watch specific actors and scenes,' Alcott 26, told The Post.
In addition to Hall and Remar, the cast includes heavyweights such as Peter Dinklage and Uma Thurman.
'Like, I want to see the big dogs work,' Alcott added. 'Everybody was incredibly kind and welcoming to me, the young guy that's on the show. I'm incredibly thankful for that.'

The original 'Dexter' aired on Showtime for eight seasons from 2006 to 2013, following Dexter (Hall) a serial killer whose cop father, Harry (Remar), taught him to channel his urges into targeting fellow killers.
By day, Dexter worked for the Miami police, with colleagues such as Angel Batista (David Zayas). By night, he went after killers who slipped through the cracks of the justice system, and gave them his own brand of bloody vigilante justice.
The show had the spinoff 'Dexter: New Blood' in 2021, which introduced Dexter to his troubled estranged son, Harrison (Alcott).

Harrison sees Dexter as a monster, so Alcott wonders, 'Oh my God, what if I'm a monster too? That is the scariest possible thing.'
The third spinoff, 2024's 'Dexter: Original Sin,' followed Dexter's origins as a young man, starring Patrick Gibson in the title role and Christian Slater as his father, Harry.
'I've known Christian [Slater] for many, many years. Actually, we were in a movie together. I think it might have been his first film, called 'Tales from the Darkside.' I believe he was all of 18 years old. And I love him. He's a wonderful actor, and he's a good man,' Remar, 71, told The Post.

'My feelings about another actor playing the part, I think would be like Richard Burton watching Peter O'Toole play Hamlet.'

He explained, 'Because the role is so iconic, because it's something that other guys can try their hand at. It makes me feel very proud to be the guy that originated a role that other great actors now are taking on. I'm very honored and flattered.'
He quipped, 'I'm glad they didn't get some no-name bum! They got Christian Slater, who's top shelf.'

Landman Season 2: Release date, cast and plot details
By Aman Shukla Published on August 5, 2025, 19:54 IST After a buzzworthy debut that lit up Paramount+, Landman is gearing up for a high-octane return. Season 2 is officially happening, and fans are already counting the days. With filming wrapped in Texas and a stacked cast—including some exciting new faces—there's a lot to unpack about what's coming next. So, if you've been dying to know when Billy Bob's back in boots or how the oil drama heats up, here's the full scoop on Landman Season 2. When Is Landman Season 2 Coming Out? Mark the date: Landman Season 2 premieres November 17, 2025, only on Paramount+. Shooting kicked off in April 2025 down in Texas, and they've moved fast—just like Season 1's production. Expect weekly drops, not a binge-style dump, so get ready to settle in for another slow-burn season of oil-soaked chaos and high-stakes drama. Some earlier rumors hinted at a 2026 release, but Paramount+ has confirmed the fall 2025 date. So, no need to wait too long to dive back into the drama-filled world of derricks, deals, and danger. Who's In and Who's Out? The Cast of Season 2 Landman Season 2 brings back the heavy hitters and adds some fresh energy to the mix. Here's who you'll see: Billy Bob Thornton returns as Tommy Norris, the smooth-talking crisis fixer caught between the oil game and his messy personal life. His role? Still the heartbeat of the show. Demi Moore is back as Cami Miller, now stepping up big-time after her husband Monty's death. With Tommy's help, she's about to learn just how brutal the business of oil can be. Andy Garcia is also returning as cartel boss Galino—his presence adds serious edge to the show. Joining him is Stefania Spampinato , playing his wife, which should deepen the cartel drama even more. Ali Larter reprises her role as Angela Norris, Tommy's unpredictable ex-wife. Expect more emotional fireworks there. Familiar faces like Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Mark Collie, and Colm Feore are all sticking around too, keeping the ensemble strong and consistent. New this season: Sam Elliott joins the main cast, though his role's still under wraps. Thornton's called him a mentor, so expect something impactful. Also joining: J. Smith-Cameron ( Succession ), Guy Burnet, and Miriam Silverman—bringing new characters, new tension, and more conflict to the oil patch. One person you won't see? Jon Hamm. His character, Monty Miller, met a dramatic end in the Season 1 finale, so his time in West Texas is officially over. What's the Story in Season 2? While Paramount+ hasn't dropped an official synopsis yet, we've got a pretty good idea of what's coming—thanks to the explosive Season 1 finale and a few behind-the-scenes teases. Tommy's Juggling Act: He's still trying to balance shady oil deals, cartel ties, and family drama. His dynamic with Cami deepens as he helps her navigate the industry Monty left behind. Cami Steps Up: After losing her husband, Cami finds herself thrown into the deep end at M-Tex Oil. With no real experience, she leans on Tommy—but expect her to carve out her own path, too. Cartel Trouble: Tommy's alliance with Galino is only going to get messier. With Andy Garcia's cool, calculating presence and Stefania Spampinato's new character adding to the intrigue, there's bound to be danger on both sides of the law. Fresh Faces, New Fights: The new characters aren't just background noise. J. Smith-Cameron's role could tie into corporate or legal drama, while Guy Burnet's engineer character might stir things up on the ground level. Family Fallout: Tommy's family life remains a mess. His ex-wife Angela is still around, and his daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) continues to be a crucial emotional anchor—or perhaps a breaking point. And as with all Taylor Sheridan shows, don't expect this to stay on the surface. Season 2 will likely dive even deeper into themes like power, greed, loyalty, and the environmental price of all that black gold beneath the dirt.

Is ‘Your Honor' returning for season 3? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on August 5, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated August 5, 2025, 19:35 IST Ever since Your Honor exploded on Netflix in 2024, fans have been wondering: is that really the end of Michael Desiato's story? Or is there still more to explore in New Orleans' dark, tangled web of crime, law, and personal redemption? Here's a breakdown of where things stand with Your Honor Season 3—and what could happen if the show makes a comeback. The Current Status of Your Honor Season 3 As of August 2025, nothing's official yet. There's no green light for a third season, but there's also no definite 'no',—which means there's still hope. Originally meant to be a one-season limited series on Showtime, Your Honor got a serious second wind when it landed on Netflix in May 2024. Within weeks, it shot up Netflix's Top 10 list, racking up nearly 45 million hours watched. That kind of success naturally got people talking about more. CBS Studios president David Stapf didn't rule anything out when he spoke to Deadline in July 2024. He said they 'love the show' and hope it continues—but added that it's 'too soon to tell.' That sounds like the kind of vague-but-hopeful comment you make when discussions are still happening behind the scenes. Even Bryan Cranston has added fuel to the fire. Back in April 2023, he revealed Showtime had shown interest in a third season. But he made it clear it would only happen if there was a good reason to bring the story back. Fast forward to June 2024—Cranston was once again stirring the pot, this time on social media, celebrating the show's Netflix success… though, again, no confirmation. What Could Your Honor Season 3 Be About? Season 2 ended on a pretty final note. Michael Desiato confessed, went to prison, and was completely broken by grief. It felt like the end of the road. Cranston himself has said if Season 3 happens, he's more likely to step into a producer role than return as the lead. He even floated the idea of exploring what comes after a man loses everything—though only if it's done with purpose. But the story doesn't have to revolve around Michael. There's still plenty of unfinished business in New Orleans. One idea? Shift the spotlight to Gina Baxter. After that jaw-dropping Season 2 finale—where her father shot her husband and she stepped into power—the possibilities are endless. Gina leading the Baxter empire could make for a ruthless, bloody season. And let's not forget Jimmy Baxter. He's down, but he might not be out just yet. Then there's the Desire Gang, Eugene's storyline, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Olivia Delmont. Each of these characters has enough complexity to carry a season on their own.
