System Of A Down’s Shavo Odadjian is in the new season of ‘Dexter: Resurrection’
System Of A Down bassist Shavo Odadjian has been confirmed as a cast member for the second season of "Dexter: Resurrection," the Paramount Plus sequel series starring Michael C. Hall as the notorious serial killer. New promotional images show Odadjian's character in a tense confrontation with Hall's Dexter, marking another acting credit for the musician alongside his extensive work directing System Of A Down music videos and a previous role in "Zoolander."
Odadjian plays a character named R.H. Martin, pictured tied to a column as Dexter looms over him, according to images shared by Paramount Plus. The season's synopsis teases Dexter caught between two killers while grappling with a "midlife crisis," alongside his son Harrison's own pursuit of justice. Season two follows a successful first season that aired last summer, with the new episodes expected to air later in 2026; System Of A Down themselves have not released a studio album since 2005's "Hypnotize."

System Of A Down are an Armenian-American rock band best known for late-1990s and early-2000s hits, and Shavo Odadjian is the group's bassist and one of its founding members. Alongside music, he has also worked as a director for the band's videos and taken occasional acting roles, including a small part in the comedy film "Zoolander."
"Dexter" is a long-running television drama about a forensic technician who secretly murders criminals who have evaded justice, played by Michael C. Hall. "Dexter: Resurrection" is a continuation of that story on the streaming service Paramount Plus, following on from the original series and its earlier revival, with a first season that aired in summer 2025.
The programme's second season is now in production, bringing together its central cast with new additions from outside the acting world, such as musicians taking on supporting roles. This kind of casting choice often draws attention because it crosses over between the music and television industries, giving both sets of fans a reason to take notice.
