Can Lumen Pierce return to Dexter: Resurrection? Speculations explored as actor comments on reboot

Julia Stiles, known for playing Lumen Pierce in Dexter Season 5, talked about the possibility of her character making a comeback in the new sequel series, Dexter: Resurrection. Although she's thankful for her experience on the show, Julia implies that Lumen's story might be done and that she might not show up again.

She said this in an interview with Screen Rant while she was talking about her first time directing a movie named Wish You Were Here:

“I feel like her chapter kind of closed at the end because she went back into the light.”

This has got fans buzzing about what might happen in Dexter: Resurrection.

Since Dexter: Resurrection is supposed to continue from where Dexter: New Blood ended, people are guessing which old characters could pop up.

Lumen Pierce was a character on the OG Dexter

Lumen Pierce left her mark on Dexter. She's one of the rare people who knew Dexter Morgan's deep, dark secret. She came into the show in Season 5 to shake things up. Dexter finds her after she's been saved from really, really bad guys, the kind that hurt women in the worst ways.

So, they form this strange partnership, like Batman and Robin, but with more avenging and fewer capes! They go after this "Barrel Girl Gang," and let's just say they don't mess around.

Julia Stiles, who played Lumen, said that her character had to go back to the light after facing darkness. She had been through hell and needed to leave that life behind to heal. That's what makes her important to Dexter. She showed him that there might be a way out of the darkness he's stuck in because of who he is.

But some critics, like the folks over at Screen Rant, think if she comes back, it might mess with the whole point of her leaving. It could make her whole journey seem less... complete. And it's true, her leaving had a huge impact. It's been ten years since the show ended, but people still talk about her. She's one of those characters that sticks with you.

Could Lumen Pierce fit into Dexter: Resurrection?

Well, no, the chances of Lumen coming back in Dexter: Resurrection isn't great, but it's not something we can completely rule out. If you remember, this new show is supposed to pick up where Dexter: New Blood left off.

If Dexter's still alive and the law's after him, they might start poking around his past. This could mean that Lumen might become a pretty important person again, especially if they need someone who can tell them what really happened.

Some fans have been throwing around ideas that she could be a big part of Dexter's trial if it comes to that. Her story could either make things tough for him or help him out a bit. These are all just guesses for now, but they do show that people are still thinking about her a lot.

Dexter Daily says her name is still being talked about, even if Julia Stiles isn't too keen on playing Lumen on Dexter: Resurrection again.

Could Lumen’s influence outweigh her return to Dexter: Resurrection?

Even without Julia Stiles returning, Lumen might still play a big part in Dexter: Resurrection. Her life is full of battles and finding her way back, a lot like what Dexter goes through. They could still show her impact using memories or looking into his past, which would give the show material without her actually being there.

People have different feelings about this. Some fans, especially those chatting on Dexter Daily and Instagram, think Lumen needs to settle things with Dexter once and for all. Others believe it's best to leave her story as it is.
