'Dexter: Resurrection' serial killers: See Neil Patrick Harris as 'Tattoo Collector'
'Dexter: Resurrection' serial killers: See Neil Patrick Harris as 'Tattoo Collector' Krysten Ritter, Eric Stonestreet, and David Dastmalchian are killers in 'Dexter' revival series 'Resurrection' Reborn vigilante Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) faces off against a Murderer's Row of serial killers in "Dexter: Resurrection." The "Dexter" revival series (first two episodes streaming on Paramount+ July 11) features beloved Hollywood stars earning sinister tabloid monikers, including "Doogie Howser, M.D." star Neil Patrick Harris (as "The Tattoo Collector") and "Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet (as "Rapunzel"). "Jessica Jones" star Krysten Ritter puts the chill into "Lady Vengeance," and David Dastmalchian ("The Suicide Squad") does double evil duty as "The Gemini Killer." The serial killers are summoned to New York for a MurderCon-style meetup with Charley (Uma Thurman), the head of security for mysterious billionaire Leon Prater (Peter Dinklage). "They don't all live in New York City, but let's say they've been invited there; it's a gathering," says "Dexter" creator and executive producer Clyde Phillips, who stocks "Resurrection" with new uber-villains. "This season is a unique launching pad for however many years this series will be going." Here's the new legion of "Dexter" doom: 'Dexter: Resurrection' miracle! Michael C. Hall returns from TV dead in Showtime series Neil Patrick Harris is Lowell, aka 'The Tattoo Collector': The successful anesthesiologist targets victims with tattoos to add to his grisly collection. Krysten Ritter is Mia, aka 'Lady Vengeance': A serial killer by night, sommelier by day, "Lady Vengeance" is vivacious and lives her life to the fullest, whether it's in her day job or her life on the hunt. Eric Stonestreet is Al, aka 'Rapunzel': Jolly and cordial, a Midwestern father of two, Al is the last person you'd ever expect to be a serial killer. But his bizarre need to strangle ponytailed women has left a trail of bodies that has terrified the country. David Dastmalchian is Gareth, aka 'The Gemini Killer': A brilliant mind with a devious need to kill people in pairs. He's been killing for years, leaving the FBI with zero clue of his true identity. But he's built such a name for himself that books, movies and podcasts detail his terrifying exploits. Wait, so 'Dexter' is alive again? Dexter survived what was clearly meant to be a permanent shotgun death, depicted in the January 2022 finale of "Dexter New Blood." In the 2024-25 "Dexter: Original Sin" prequel, which Hall's Dexter narrates, the barely alive serial killer is shown being rushed by ambulance to an upstate New York hospital. In "Resurrection," Dexter slips off to New York City as soon as his recovery allows, looking for his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), who also happens to be the guy who shot his dad upstate. Now that Hall has been reborn as Dexter for "Resurrection," Phillips plans to keep the franchise star alive as long as series renewals allow. That means the villains who come across Dexter in "Resurrection" won't fall to his signature Saran Wrap death right away. "One of these characters will end up being what we call 'The Big Baddie,' and they will be taken care of this season," says Phillips. The rest will have to wait their turn for a lethal faceoff, which could take "however many years we're going to be on. And really, that's up to Michael." How to watch the new 'Dexter: Resurrection'? The first two episodes stream on demand for Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers on July 11, before airing on Paramount+ with Showtime on July 13 (8 EDT/PDT), then weekly on Sundays.

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Set Photos Feature Krysten Ritter Back in Action as Jessica Jones — GeekTyrant
Jessica Jones is back on the streets of New York City,, and she hasn't changed a bit. Set photos from Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 just dropped, giving us our first look at Krysten Ritter reprising her role as the hard-boiled PI. As you'll see, she's still rocking the classic leather jacket and jeans combo. These new shots show Ritter filming alongside Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock, who's suited up in a sleek black Daredevil costume emblazoned with the red 'DD' logo. While Marvel Studios has remained tight-lipped on plot details, this visual reunion confirms what fans have been speculating, the Defenders may slowly be making their way into the MCU fold. Ritter previously shared in a statement: 'It's so great to be back, returning to Jessica after three seasons and The Defenders and now joining the MCU. 'I'm so excited to bring back this iconic character, and without giving too much away, there is much more in store for Jessica Jones. This is going to be an incredible season!' Narratively, Jessica's return tracks with how things left off. After Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) took control as mayor and launched a citywide crackdown on vigilantes, Matt Murdock was left with few allies. As he assembles a team to push back against Fisk's rule, it makes perfect sense to bring in someone like Jones, someone who doesn't play nice, doesn't care for rules. Their dynamic in The Defenders was one of the better elements of that messy team-up series, and seeing them working together again in the MCU should be a treat. No word yet on whether Luke Cage or Danny Rand will follow suit, though both Mike Colter and Finn Jones are reportedly in New York.

Luke Cage and Iron Fist Reportedly Returning For DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2 — GeekTyrant
According to a new report from The Cosmic Circus, both Luke Cage and Danny Rand aka Iron Fist may appeare in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, which will reunite most of The Defenders lineup under the Marvel Studios banner. This news comes from a Q&A with Cosmic Circus insider Alex Perez, who suggested the team is being folded back into the evolving Marvel television landscape. He believes the entirety of The Defenders will appear in the show at some point. Jessica Jones is already invilved and is rumored to be helping Matt Murdock in his crusade, but when asked to tease Danny Rand's future, Perez said: 'You know that trope of the once-powerful character who, after an incident happens, decides to retire his mantle and refuses to have anything to do with it, until a younger protagonist type hero forces him out of his funk to become a mentor to the next-generation hero?' So, if this is true, it sounds like Marvel could be lining up a legacy-style passing of the torch. Whether that means a full-on recast, a soft reboot, or just Danny reluctantly training a new Iron Fist remains to be seen. As for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, the cast will see the return of Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Krysten Ritter, alongside newcomers and returning characters like Margarita Levieva (Heather Glenn), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Wilson Bethel (Bullseye), Nikki M. James (Kirsten McDuffie), Genneya Walton (BB Urich), Clark Johnson (Cherry), Michael Gandolfini (Daniel Blake), Ayelet Zurer (Vanessa Fisk), and even Matthew Lillard in a currently undisclosed role. The second season of Daredevil: Born Again is expected to hit Disney+ in March 2026. With Marvel slowly reweaving its old Netflix threads into a new MCU tapestry, it will be interesting to see how they implement these characters into the story. (Source: The Cosmic Circus)

‘Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Appears To Be Reassembling The Defenders
Defenders After escaping a somewhat butchered script and concept near the end of season 1, Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will have more freedom, and apparently, even more of a connection to the Netflix series of old. It's already been officially announced that Krysten Ritter is returning to the universe as Jessica Jones after her show ran for three seasons ending in 2015. Now it appears Daredevil may be reassembling the rest of The Defenders. The two missing pieces are Mike Coulter's Luke Cage and Finn Jones's Iron Fist, who both appear to be in New York at the same time, and also at the same time Daredevil: Born Again is filming. They're also liking each other's posts, and such. Both actors have expressed an interest in returning as those characters in the MCU: Luke Cage At that point, it's unclear if they were already on board or if they got a call afterward. Again, none of this is confirmed, but Daredevil has a history of extreme leaks when it comes to what's going on with the series, so we'll see. After the success of Born Again, it seems likely that Marvel may move forward with more 'street-level' content that will both please fans and be cheaper than huge productions like Secret Invasion. Ironheart is about to air in a month, and it does not seem like it's part of this plan given that it was crafted years ago and delayed for a long while before finally arriving. Would Marvel bring all the Netflix shows back? That may be a stretch. We know Punisher is getting an 'event' which is a smaller feature. But I'd be a little surprised if more than say, one of those other characters got a full show back (my guess is Jessica Jones as Marvel Head of TV Brad Winterbaum has talked about how much he likes the character). Again, it's not even confirmed that Luke Cage and Iron Fist are showing up, but if so, I would expect that to fully leak soon, as Daredevil production doesn't really even try to hide this stuff. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Krysten Ritter Returning as Jessica Jones in 'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2
Krysten Ritter will be returning as superhero Jessica Jones in the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, Disney announced Tuesday during Marvel's section of Disney Upfront 2025. Ritter starred as Jessica Jones during a three-season run of her titular show on Netflix, which ran from 2015-2019. The show moved from Netflix to Disney Plus in 2022 -- and was rebranded as "Marvel's Jessica Jones" -- along with Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Punisher and The Defenders. Daredevil: Born Again launched on Disney Plus in March this year, with CNET senior editor and head of streaming coverage Kourtnee Jackson saying it lives up to the hype of the original Daredevil Netflix series, and its comic book origin. "Daredevil: Born Again retains the same bite, viciousness and brilliance of the original and earns every bit of that TV-MA rating," Jackson wrote in her review. "The show packs in the shocks, drama, graphic, bloody brutality and a dose of introspection." Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again is expected in March 2026.
