Dexter Season 9 John Lithgow Returning As Trinity Killer

It’s been confirmed that John Lithgow will reprise his Emmy-winning role of Arthur Mitchell, aka the Trinity Killer, in the Dexter revival. Initially developed by James Manos Jr., the hit Showtime series centers on the titular forensic technician as he leads a secret parallel life as a vigilante serial killer. The series acted as an adaptation of Jeff Lindsay’s Darkly Dreaming Dexter though subsequent seasons would depart from the source material follow-ups.

Dexter previously concluded its run in 2013 with season 8, though despite its high ratings, the final season received generally negative reviews from critics and fans alike. After years of receiving flack for the series finale, it was announced showrunner Clyde Phillips, and Michael C. Hall would return for a 10-episode limited series revival. With a cast full of newcomers to the series, fans can now expect to see a familiar face turn up.

As shooting is currently underway on the revival, Deadline has brought word that Lithgow has officially signed on to return as the Trinity Killer for Dexter. Details are being kept under wraps as to how the character will return to the fold, but sources report that the Emmy winner will shoot for a couple of days in Los Angeles for the series. The revival is currently expected to debut on Showtime this fall.

The roster of characters across Dexter’s original eight-season run was full of fascinating individuals, but Lithgow’s Arthur Mitchell has frequently been cited as the best of the bunch. Thanks to a combination of Lithgow’s haunting performance and the powerful writing regarding the Trinity Killer’s backstory and arc, the character regularly appears on lists of the best TV villains and was well deserving of his Golden Globe, and Emmy wins for the role. With that in mind, there is one problem regarding his return, which was his fairly gruesome demise at the hands of Hall’s character at the end of season 4.

Though certainly not unheard of in film or television, the confirmed brutal death of a character generally poses questions about the logistics of their return, even when as beloved as Lithgow’s Trinity Killer. With no word on whether the revival will feature flashbacks or not, there’s certainly a chance he could appear as a hallucination to the titular character with whom he shared a deep kinship. Only time will tell when Dexter returns to the network later this year.
