Dexter: Julia & Julie

Thursday, 27 May 2010

Two interesting pieces of news from the set of Dexter as they prepare to start filming the fifth season; the first quite interesting, the second a major spoiler if you haven't seen season 4 yet:

Julia Stiles (The Bourne Identity, Save The Last Dance) is expected to sign on for a "major, top secret" role in season 5, while Julie Benz (whose character Rita was killed off in last year's finale) is also likely to be back. Insiders have been quick to dismiss theories she'll be reprising her character as a "ghost", leading fans to speculate on a dream sequence or perhaps new material filmed for a wedding video.

Dexter's fifth season is expected to begin late-September on Showtime in the US. In the UK, the fourth season should begin on FX this summer (my guess is late-July), although ITV appear to have lost interest in giving Dexter a terrestrial airing, as it's been two years since they aired season 2 now.
