More News | Dexter, You, The Harder They Fall

Updates, Updates, Updates! How did I miss that reflection in the Dextor trailer the first time? So excited for the new season, am hoping that they show it on UK TV at the same time (like they do with AHS) so we avoid the spoilers before we get to see it. All the focus is on Dexter updates, as there is little new info about You and I’ve been unable to find out whether The Harder They Fall has resumed filming or not but fingers crossed it’s coming soon.

Dexter

Dexter is returning for a limited run season, with Michael C Hall coming back as our favourite doughnut-eating serial killer. Some think that the finale didn’t do the series justice and this new season gives the show a chance to go out with a proper bang. What has Dexter been up to since 2013, what is his new life like, how many bad guys has he dealt with, and just how is he getting rid of the bodies now? What we know so far:

  • Michael C. Hall will be returning as Dexter
  • The season will not be set in Miami, everything that happened in the previous seasons happened
  • Only ten episodes
  • Clyde Philips returning as executive producer
  • It will air November 7th, 2021, in the U.S. on Showtime -And in the UK on Sky Atlantic (date as yet unkown)
  • Clancy Brown will play the series villain
  • Julia Jones will play Chief of Police Angela Bishop
  • and her daughter will be played by Johnny Sequoyah
  • Alano Miller will play an Iron Lake Police Department Sergeant
  • Jack Alcott to play a mysterious character named Randall
  • David Magidoff to play a cop named Teddy
  • Michael Cyril Creighton will play a shop owner named Fred Jr
  • Jamie Chung will be playing a podcaster from L.A. named Molly
  • Oscar Wahlberg will play Zach, captain of the school wrestling team
  • Marcos Siega will direct 6 of the 10 episodes

Set in a small town in upstate New York named Iron Lake, this series won’t undo anything that the previous eight put in place but could answer a few questions about that last episode.

So many questions. Can’t wait. Anyone else feeling the need to rewatch the entire box sets from the beginning?

Watch closely.

You

With the ending of season 2 indicating a darker turn for Joe, his new life in the suburbs has a slight Dexter feel to me. And there’s that questionable relationship with Love and how her character will expand and perhaps influence Joe’s choices.

What we know so far:

  • Ten episodes
  • Coming to our screens in Autumn of 2021
  • The 3rd installment of the book is already complete if you want a heads up on what you might see in the series -released 6th April 2021
  • Joe and Love will return
  • Travis Van Winkle and Shalita Grant will join the show for season three, playing a Momfluencer and a Master of Self-Optimisation.

This new western from Netflix stars Idris Elba, Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beetz, and Regina King. And is about a man who learns that the man who killed his parents is being released from prison and he intends to exact his revenge.

In October 2020 the New Mexico shoot had to suspend filming due to Covid-19 positive tests amongst the crew.

Who we know is starring so far:

  • Idris Elba to play the man who killed Love’s parents
  • Jonathan Majors plays Nat Love
  • Zazie Beetz
  • Regina King
  • Lakeith Stanfield
  • Delroy Lindo

Netflix’s moves into westerns like Godless, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and The Highwaymen have been well received. It’s good to see new, well written and executed series and movies in a genre that I will always love to watch. I will be eagerly anticipating this latest film.
