Neil Patrick Harris is stepping into the bloody world of Dexter! Yes, the man who spent years suiting up as the womanizing Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother is now jumping into the Dexter: Resurrection cast. And let’s be honest—if anyone can turn murder into a well-choreographed Broadway number, it’s NPH.
The 51-year-old actor (yes, we’re all old now) will be playing a mysterious character named “Lowell.” That’s it. That’s all we know. Is he Dexter’s bestie? A rival killer? The owner of a Miami-based donut shop that Dexter weirdly takes a liking to? Showtime is keeping it hush-hush, and we are nosy.
Meanwhile, Michael C. Hall is back as Dexter Morgan, the world’s most charming serial killer with a moral compass that’s… well, let’s say “selectively functional.” Dexter: Resurrection is set to premiere sometime this summer, though Showtime is playing hard to get with an exact date.
So, what can we expect from this spinoff? Will Neil Patrick Harris bring his signature charm? Will Dexter take a break from stabbing people to discuss the science of magic tricks? One thing’s for sure—this show is about to get legen… wait for it… dary (and possibly very, very stabby).
