Krysten Ritter cast in Dexter: Resurrection
Known for her roles in Jessica Jones, Veronica Mars, and Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23, Krysten Ritter is now set to join the cast of Dexter: Resurrection in the guest-starring role of Mia. She joins a cast that also includes star Michael C. Hall, as well as Uma Thurman, David Zayas, Jack Alcott, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusa, Emilia Suárez, Peter Dinklage, and James Remar as Dexter’s father Harry Morgan.

It was the most streamed series for Showtime in 10 years. The original run of Dexter earned four straight Emmy nominations for Best Drama Series (2008-2011). Michael C. Hall earned five nominations for Best Drama Actor for his performance, but he has yet to win at the Emmys despite victories at the Golden Globe and SAG Awards.

Charli won Album of the Year for her critically hailed dance album Brat, defeating The Cure (Songs of a Lost World), Dua Lipa (Radical Optimism), Ezra Collective (Dance, No One's Watching), and The Last Dinner Party (Prelude to Ecstasy). She was also awarded Artist of the Year, Song of the Year ("Guess" featuring Billie Eilish), and Best Dance Act.
