Marcos Siega will direct six of the ten episodes, while Monica Raymund is set to direct the remaining four. Production commenced in New York in January, aiming for a summer release.

This new chapter follows the events of ‘Dexter: New Blood’ and is part of a broader expansion of the ‘Dexter’ universe, which includes the prequel series ‘Dexter: Original Sin,’ featuring Patrick Gibson in the lead role and Hall providing voiceover narration.

Dinklage’s recent work includes a starring role in the film adaptation of the musical ‘Wicked,’ where he portrayed Dr. Dillamond.
