Who returns for Season 2, and why does the premiere matter?
Alongside Hall, James Remar, and Alcott, Uma Thurman returns as Charley, with Kadia Saraf and Dominic Fumusa back as NYPD detectives. New cast includes Bokeem Woodbine and Nona Parker Johnson; Krysten Ritter and Gabriel Luna are set for guest roles.
IGN’s non-spoiler take calls “Risky Business” a fun, twisty start that introduces new big bads while Dexter feels underappreciated and restless. Season 1’s opening haul of 3.1 million viewers in three days and 4.4 million in week one set a high bar Paramount+ will want Season 2 to match.
Paramount+ Essential runs $8.99 a month with ads; Premium (formerly with Showtime) is $13.99 ad-free. All 10 Season 1 episodes remain streaming on the platform.
