Brian Cox, the first actor to ever play Hannibal Lecter on screen, will play another serial killer in Season 2 of Dexter: Resurrection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cox will reportedly portray Dom Framt, aka The New York Ripper, according to Variety<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe character was originally introduced in Season 1, though he was not seen onscreen. He is described as \u2018a serial killer who terrorized the City years ago. Though no longer active as a killer, he\u2019s found a new way to live into his infamy by continuing to taunt the survivors of his long-ago murder spree.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The Succession star and McDonald\u2019s pitchman played \u201cHannibal Lektor\u201d in director Michael Mann\u2019s 1986 film Manhunter<\/a>, based on Thomas Harris\u2019 novel Red Dragon. (The movie was later remade as Red Dragon with Anthony Hopkins reprising his Oscar-winning role as Hannibal.)<\/p>\n

Brian Cox\u2019s many film credits include X2, Troy, the Jason Bourne movies, Trick \u2018r Treat, Braveheart, Super Troopers, Zodiac, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.<\/p>\n

Dexter: Resurrection was renewed last year by Paramount+ at the same time as the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin was canceled, a move that did not go over well with the latter\u2019s showrunner Clyde Phillips<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 will see Michael C. Hall return to play the killer of killers, Dexter Morgan. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brian Cox, the first actor to ever play Hannibal Lecter on screen, will play another serial killer in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":510125,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-510124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/510125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
