The Bride is joining the Dexter universe. Showtime announced on Wednesday that Uma Thurman has joined the cast of Dexter: Resurrection, the upcoming drama series starring Michael C. Hall in the titular role of Dexter Morgan.
Thurman will play Charley, a former Special Ops officer who now works as Head of Security for billionaire Leon Prater. Per Paramount, “Charley has worked various high-level private security jobs before taking on her position as the resourceful and meticulous right-hand woman for Prater.”
Thurman rose to stardom in her Academy Award-nominated role of Mia Wallace in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. Thurman later became an action icon in the early 2000s as The Bride in Kill Bill: Volume 1 and 2. Thurman’s recent credits include Red, White and Royal Blue, Oh Canada, and The Kill Room.
Dexter: Resurrection also stars David Zayas as Detective Angel Batista, James Remar as Dexter’s father Harry Morgan, and Jack Alcott as Dexter’s son, Harrison Morgan.
Dexter: Resurrection is a sequel series to Dexter: New Blood, Showtime’s limited series from 2021 that picked up 10 years after the events of the Dexter series finale. Dexter: Resurrection is executive produced by showrunner Clyde Phillips. Hall, Scott Reynolds, Tony Hernandez, and Lilly Burns will executive produce, with Marcos Siega serving as producing director. Siega will direct six episodes of Resurrection, while Monica Raymund will direct four.
