It feels like we’ve been waiting for decades for the next season of Dexter, but happily, the season four premiere is just around the corner on 23rd September. It’s already been fairly heavily publicised that John Lithgow is joining the cast for the upcoming season, but I’ve just heard the news about which character is making a return to the show…
That character would be FBI director and Deb’s former squeeze Frank Lundy, played by Keith Carradine, who returns to Miami pursuing a serial killer. It’s great to see Lundy back; I thought he and Deb had a very interesting relationship, and there was definitely scope for some kind of paternal thing between he and Dexter. It does raise the question of just what will happen between Deb and Anton this season? Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Deb, recently said that the relationship between the cop and the former CI will go to some “very interesting places” this year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Lundy has something to do with that.
