Uma Thurman will play the role of Charley in Dexter: Resurrection

Reports from Deadline suggest that American actress Uma Thurman has joined the cast of Dexter: Ressurection as Charley, the head of security to billionaire Leon Prater. She was a former Special Ops officer, which suggests she has training in physical combat, which could prove a threat to Dexter.

Thurman's casting as head of security could mean her boss, i.e., Prater, might be Dexter's new target in the show, which would mean a possible showdown between the characters. Like many memorable showdowns from the original series, Charley would also be one of the contenders who would want to expose Dexter's identity to the world.

Thurman, being a big name in the industry, increases the stakes for Dexter, and it would be interesting to see if she will get the upper hand or if Dexter will win once again in Dexter: Resurrection.

Thurman is a Golden Globe-winning actress for her performance in the HBO movie Hysterical Blindness. She was also nominated for an Emmy award in the Outstanding Guest Actress category in a Drama Series for her role in the NBC musical Smash.

She is best known for her work on Les Misérables, and her work in Pulp Fiction won her nominations for an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress.
