David Zayas is set to reprise his role as Angel Batista in the second season of Showtime's "Dexter: Resurrection", Deadline has confirmed. He was seen filming with lead Michael C. Hall in Times Square, though sources have clarified that Batista's character remains dead, meaning his return will likely involve a ghost-like appearance similar to other deceased characters who have featured in the franchise.

Season two will see Dexter Morgan contending with two killers while grappling with a "mid-life crisis", as his son Harrison (Jack Alcott) joins him in law enforcement. New cast additions include Brian Cox as The New York Ripper, Dan Stevens as The Five Borough Killer, and Gabriel Luna as The Sleepy-Eyed Stranger, alongside returning stars Uma Thurman and Krysten Ritter, whose character's fate is still unconfirmed. Desmond Harrington has been promoted to series regular, and further cast members include Bokeem Woodbine, Nona Parker Johnson, and returning franchise regulars James Remar and Dominic Fumusa.
