A fan-favorite villain is returning to 'Dexter' for Showtime's upcoming revival of the series. John Lithgow will reprise his award-winning Trinity Killer role from the show's fourth season for a brief appearance in at least one upcoming episode.
Show writers have found a way to work the character in with a "short but decisive" appearance that will make sense to viewers.
Season 9 will find Dexter Morgan make his way from Oregon back to Miami and it will premiere on Showtime this fall.
