What would you do if you found out your partner was a serial killer? And if your daughter was dating a killer’s son, how far would you go to protect her? For Bokeem Woodbine, the answer is clear. Somebody might be going missing.
The actor and Nona Parker Johnson are stepping into the twisted world of Dexter: Resurrection, the latest chapter in Showtime’s hit crime franchise starring Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan, a serial killer who channels his murderous impulses into hunting other killers. In Season 2, Woodbine and Johnson play Captain Mixon and Fiona Mixon, a father-daughter duo navigating law enforcement, complicated family dynamics, and a world where the line between justice and murder is never quite clear.
In this Blex Media interview, the two actors discuss joining an established franchise mid-run, what makes a role worth saying yes to, and their candid takes on nepo babies and generational legacy in Hollywood. They also weigh in on whether Dexter is a good guy or a bad guy, while Woodbine explains why playing a villain is more fun, but portraying someone committed to doing the right thing presents a greater creative challenge.
Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 premieres October 30 on Paramount+.
