Jennifer Carpenter On ‘Dexter: Resurrection’ & Whether She Will Reprise Role: “Pretty Focused Where I Am”

Despite appearing in Showtime‘s spinoff Dexter: New Blood, Jennifer Carpenter revealed she will not be returning for the forthcoming Dexter: Resurrection.

The 1923 actress, who portrayed the adoptive sister Debra of Michael C. Hall‘s titular character, recently opened up to People about the decision. “I am pretty focused where I am, and I feel like I’ve completed that box.

I’m proud of it,” Carpenter said. “I hope that they’re having a wonderful time,” she added, referring to the cast and crew working on the project, set to launch in the summer on Paramount+ with Showtime.

Carpenter, who plays the the highly capable U.S. Deputy Marshall Mamie Fossett on the Yellowstone prequel show, now airing Season 2, concluded, “And I’m so happy for the fans to have more to chew on.” The Emmy-winning mothership series, which stretched across nearly 100 episodes from 2006 to 2013, centered on a Miami PD blood spatter analyst solving murders — and committing them, channeling his urge to kill against violent criminals.
