John Lithgow is back as The Trinity Killer in Dexter: Resurrection, and fans have just one question HOW? If you remember (and honestly, who could forget?), his character met a pretty definitive end at the hands of Dexter Morgan. But, in true TV fashion, death apparently isn’t as permanent as we thought.
Showtime has officially confirmed John Lithgow’s return alongside a star-studded cast, including Michael C. Hall, Peter Dinklage, Uma Thurman, and a bunch of other people you didn’t expect to see in a Dexter series. Naturally, the internet had a meltdown, because if Trinity is back, what’s stopping anyone from coming back? Maybe even Rita? (Too soon?)
John Lithgow’s Return to Dexter: Resurrection Sends Fans Spiraling
As soon as John Lithgow’s return was announced, the internet did what it does best, lost its collective mind. The news dropped with a lineup of A-listers joining Dexter: Resurrection, but all anyone could focus on was the fact that The Trinity Killer, who, again, was very dead, was making a comeback.
Fans took to social media with a mix of shock, sarcasm, and outright confusion. Because, let’s be real, the Dexter universe is not exactly known for its subtlety when it comes to resurrecting characters. (Looking at you, Dexter: New Blood.)
One user summed it up perfectly:
“Wait a minute… wasn’t he killed??”
Another fan (@johnnyutah269) took a different approach:
“Isn’t he busy at Hogwarts?”
And honestly, if John Lithgow popped up in Harry Potter, it would somehow be less surprising than this news.
If there’s one thing the internet is undefeated at, it’s turning absolute chaos into meme gold. The reactions to John Lithgow’s return have been nothing short of chef’s kiss perfection.
One fan (@MovieMediaX) pointed out how Dexter seems to be bringing everyone back:
“They’ve got everybody coming back lol.”
At this rate, we half expect Doakes to show up with a “Surprise, motherf—” moment just for old times’ sake.
Then there’s the theory that Dexter: Resurrection is going full supernatural, because how else do you explain this? A user (@DiomedesAauRa) put it bluntly:
“Probably as a ghost or some shit.”
And honestly? We wouldn’t put it past them. If there’s one thing Dexter writers love, it’s bending logic to the absolute limit.
Meanwhile, another fan had a more personal take:
“I’m afraid I’ll have to go back to the episode I abandoned.”
The struggle is real. You start rewatching one episode for closure and suddenly, you’re binging all eight seasons plus New Blood before you even realize what happened.
No one knows exactly how Dexter: Resurrection will pull this off, but one thing is clear, fans are entertained before the show even airs. Whether it’s a flashback, a hallucination, or Dexter just refusing to let go of his past (again), John Lithgow’s return is already proving to be the most talked-about part of the show.
Trending
So, is The Trinity Killer really back? Or are we just about to witness some next-level storytelling gymnastics? Either way, we’ll be watching. And, judging by the internet’s reaction, so will everyone else.
Dexter: Resurrection better bring its A-game because fans? They’re already locked in and ready to roast.
