Brian Cox, Gabriel Luna and Dan Stevens have joined the cast of Dexter: Resurrection season 2.

Alongside Michael C Hall as Dexter Morgan, here is a list of the major figures from season 1 returning for season 2:

Dexter: Resurrection season 2 plot: What will happen?

Dexter Morgan is "caught between two killers" in season 2: "one notorious and the other terrorising New York in ways no one ever anticipated".

It's unclear whether it will be Stevens or Luna's killer who is the "fresh young face" described in the synopsis.

He must contend with that, "all while battling his greatest enemy yet: a mid-life crisis", as his son Harrison "continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter".
