----------
Showtime is bringing back one of Dexter Morgan's biggest foes. John Lithgow is set to reprise his role as Arthur Mitchell, aka the Trinity Killer, in the network's upcoming revival of Dexter, as reported by Deadline.

While there are few known details about Lithgow's role in the Dexter revival, it is reported that the actor is only expected to film for about a day or so on the production. Showrunner Clyde Phillips and the series' team of writers have figured out a way for the Trinity Killer to return in a way that makes sense within Dexter's storyline.

Of course, the prospect of Arthur Mitchell returning to the series is a tricky one. The Trinity Killer bit the bullet in the Season 4 finale when Michael C. Hall's Dexter took a hammer to him. While Lithgow's tenure on Dexter only lasted for a season, the actor instantly became a fan favorite among the show's audience.

Even if for one episode, I'm guessing he's gonna be Dexter's Dark Passenger.

Kinda like how Brian Moser aka The Ice Truck Killer was for an episode in season 6

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if every episode features another character as his dark passenger to kind of wrap up the show.

Yap. Probably gonna get one with Debra

Just hope LaGuerta gets one. She was a massive pain but she didn't deserve to go out like that imo

"Surprise Motherf***er"

Gotta have Doakes too! Maybe even Lila!

I think we can do without Travis though.

Maybe not a dark passenger. Could be something as simple as a flashback.

For all of 3 seconds total.

Not tricky at all, IGN - he can be one of Dexter's imaginary friends.

Maybe it’s revealed Arthur has a twin brother who also is a serial killer.

Yeah, that inspired prediction worked out well. What say you now, vanished OP asshole?

That’s what I thought.
