New York Ripper Set to Haunt Dexter: Resurrection Season 2

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Clyde Phillips, the creator of the hit series “Dexter: Resurrection,” has confirmed that the highly anticipated villain, the New York Ripper, will finally make an appearance in season 2. This revelation came during an interview aired on November 18.

Season 1 introduced several notorious villains such as Lady Vengeance, the Tattoo Collector, and Leon Prater, but fans have been particularly anxious about the New York Ripper’s looming presence. The season 1 finale confirmed this elusive killer’s identity as Don Framt, with hints that he would soon be at the top of Dexter’s hunting list.

Phillips stated, “He’ll be in the second season,” while keeping further details about Framt’s character under wraps. This announcement marks one of the first significant reveals about the upcoming season, which has remained tightly guarded since its renewal in early October.

In the same interview, when asked if Charley Brown, played by Uma Thurman, would return, Phillips remained vague. Character developments suggest she may not be back, as her character left New York City with her mother.

Throughout season 1, the threat of the New York Ripper loomed large, with detective characters mentioning past attempts to capture him. Phillips indicated that strong fan interest in the Ripper influenced the decision to delve deeper into his character. “We were surprised by how ravenous fans were about the New York Ripper in Season 1,” Phillips said.

As expectations mount, speculation arises about who will portray this key villain in season 2. Fancasting has included names like Bryan Cranston and Nicolas Cage, highlighting the anticipation for star power in this role.

While filming for season 2 is still in development, Phillips has confirmed that it won’t premiere next summer, as production will still be underway at that time. Additional casting announcements are expected as filming progresses.
