Steve Schirripa has joined the cast of the upcoming “Dexter” sequel series, “Dexter: Resurrection.”
The “Sopranos” and “Blue Bloods” actor will play the recurring role of Vinny, a greedy slumlord.
Production for Showtime’s “Dexter” sequel series began in January in New York. The show is set to debut on Paramount+ With Showtime in the summer.
Michael C. Hall returns as Dexter Morgan in the series, which also stars Uma Thurman as Charley, David Zayas as Detective Angel Batista, Jack Alcott as Dexter’s son Harrison Morgan, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine as Blessing Kamara, Kadia Saraf as Detective Claudette Wallace, Dominic Fumusa as Detective Melvin Oliva, Emilia Suárez as Elsa Rivera, James Remar as Dexter’s father Harry Morgan and Peter Dinklage as Leon Prater.
Krysten Ritter, Neil Patrick Harris, David Dastmalchian and Eric Stonestreet are also guest stars on the sequel series.
“Dexter: Resurrection” is separate from “Dexter: Original Sin,” the 2024 prequel series that follows a young Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to serial killer. That show also stars Hall, but only as Dexter’s inner monologue.
“Resurrection” is one of many offshoots of “Dexter,” a hit serial killer drama that ran on Showtime for eight seasons, from 2006 to 2013. A sequel series, “Dexter: New Blood,” aired in 2021, also starring Hall as Dexter.
The series is executive produced by “Dexter” vet Clyde Phillips, who also returns to serve as showrunner. Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios serve as producers. Hall is an EP along with Scott Reynolds, Tony Hernandez and Lilly Burns, with Marcos Siega serving as producing director. Monica Raymund will direct four episodes, and Siega will direct six episodes for the series, which is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
Schirripa is best known for playing Bobby “Bacala” Baccalieri on HBO’s “The Sopranos,” and he more recently starred on CBS’ long-running police procedural “Blue Bloods” as Detective Anthony Abetemarco. He was also a series regular on ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.”
