"It's gonna be so hilarious": Fans lose it as Eric Stonestreet lands a serial killer role in ‘Dexter: Resurrection’

Eric Stonestreet is swapping sitcom guffaws for something much darker—joining the much-hyped Dexter: Resurrection! Most famous for his comedic role as Cam on Modern Family, Stonestreet is now venturing into much darker waters as AL, a Midwestern-born character and, per reports, a serial killer according to Deadline.

Eric Stonestreet will be featured in four episodes; his contribution to the Michael C. Hall-led prequel is leaving viewers on the edge of their seats (and possibly in fear). From dad puns to killing secrets, Stonestreet's metamorphosis is sure to be one of the show's largest surprises!

As soon as the news came out, someone (@T_j_praise1) took to his X account and commented:

"It's gonna be so hilarious"

One of X's fans forecasts that Eric Stonestreet's turn in Dexter: Resurrection is going to be totally hilarious, and truthfully, the mere idea of Cam from Modern Family moonlighting as a serial killer is comedy gold already.

Just picture him delivering dramatic monologues with impeccable sitcom timing or blundering into jokes halfway through the murder—if anything, this is going to be the most quaintly unnerving killer Dexter has ever encountered!

Fans are already abuzz with the news of Eric Stonestreet becoming a part of Dexter: Resurrection. From envisioning his serial killer character, AL, being as charming as in a sitcom to envisioning surprise humor within the dark world of the show, social media is going haywire.

Be it people who are excited, perplexed, or simply here for the memes, one thing is for sure—this casting decision has everyone on the internet talking! Let's take a look at the funniest fan reactions.
