Gabriel Luna is joining the second season of Dexter: Resurrection as Ray Ballard, a serial killer known as The Sleepy-Eyed Stranger, according to Dread Central and Give Me My Remote. He will appear alongside Michael C. Hall, who plays Dexter, and Uma Thurman, who returns as Charley.
The casting was confirmed after Luna was spotted filming with Hall on set, Screen Rant reported. Luna joins a growing roster of new serial killers added to Season 2, with production clearly in full swing.
Who Ray Ballard Is and What Luna Brings
Luna plays Ray Ballard, a serial killer carrying the nickname The Sleepy-Eyed Stranger. Details about his victims or methods have not been released. Luna guest stars in the season, meaning his character may not appear in every episode.
Luna is best known for playing Tommy Miller in The Last of Us and for his work on The Terminal List Season 2. He has also appeared in Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy. His track record with dark, intense roles makes him a natural fit for Dexter's world.
Season 2 Is Stacking an Unusually Deep Villain Roster
Luna is far from the only new killer joining the show. Brian Cox has been cast as Dom Frant, known as The New York Ripper. His character no longer commits murders but instead taunts survivors of his past crimes, according to Dread Central.
Dan Stevens joins as The Five Borough Killer, a character identified in set reports as Owen Stark. Bokeem Woodbine and Nona Parker Johnson also join the cast as Capt. Mixon and Fiona Mixon, respectively. The result is one of the densest ensembles the Dexter franchise has ever assembled.
Where Season 1 Left Off and What Season 2 Picks Up
Season 1 ended with Dexter waking from a coma in New York City. He was searching for his son. The New York setting carries into Season 2, with the new killers all tied to the city in some way — from The New York Ripper to The Five Borough Killer.
Uma Thurman's character Charley is returning, and on-set glimpses suggest she shares a closer dynamic with Dexter in the new season. Krysten Ritter is also coming back. Specific plot details for Season 2 remain under wraps, but the villain lineup signals a much bigger scope than Season 1.
