DEXTER's Trinity Killer Spin-Off Gets Major Update From Franchise Showrunner — GeekTyrant
It looks like the most terrifying villain in the Dexter franchise still has more blood to spill, at least narratively. The long-teased spin-off series focused on the Trinity Killer just got a noteworthy update from Dexter showrunner Clyde Phillips, and while the project hasn't gotten the official go-ahead yet, it's much further along than we expected.
During a panel at CCXP Mexico (via Reddit user TheSystolicGem), Phillips revealed: 'All ten episodes of the Trinity Killer have been written.' So, the show is ready to roll, but the show hasn't been greenlit for production just yet.
The holdup may have less to do with the show's content and more to do with strategy. Showtime is already juggling multiple Dexter-related projects, including Dexter: Original Sin , a prequel series diving into young Dexter's 1990s origins, and Dexter: Resurrection , which will see Michael C. Hall return in some form.
Phillips and his team might be waiting to see how Resurrection performs before launching another full-fledged series. That could be why Trinity's fate is still in limbo.
The Trinity Killer, played masterfully by John Lithgow in Season 4, remains the franchise's most memorable antagonist and arguably its most psychologically layered. Lithgow is expected to return in some form, likely as a narrator or in brief flashbacks.
The spin-off would explore the killer's earlier life and twisted methods long before Dexter ever crossed his path. Given that Arthur Mitchell, Trinity's real name, was active for decades, there's room to span multiple timelines, family secrets, and possibly new victims.
Dexter Season 4 dropped some major breadcrumbs, including the existence of a secret daughter Trinity fathered outside of his seemingly perfect suburban life. Her origins, and her mother's identity, were never explored.
With Lithgow confirmed to cameo in Resurrection , his presence might help build the momentum needed to push the Trinity project forward. If Resurrection hits the numbers Showtime hopes for, then Trinity's past has a good chance of slicing into the present lineup.

Cassius Gems: Nicole Scherzinger's Most Sultry Instagram Moments
Source: TheStewartofNY / Getty Nicole Scherzinger celebrates her 47th birthday today, and given her longevity in the entertainment industry, she's got a lot to celebrate. The Honolulu, Hawaii native got her start as the frontwoman for The Pussycat Dolls in the early 2000s, which had hits like 'Don't Cha' and 'Stickwitu,' and was so popular that its 55 million record-selling run helped them become one of the world's best-selling female groups of all time. Even after all the success—which includes a Grammy nomination—the group disbanded in 2010. Scherzinger avoided the fall by offering her talents to the next crop of aspiring singers, becoming a judge on several shows, including The Sing-Off , The X Factor , two runs on The X Factor UK, Australia's Got Talent , and most recently, a gig on The Masked Singer, which ended in 2023. In the midst of that, she also won the tenth season of Dancing With The Stars . Lately, she's leaned into her onstage roots, and after initial stints in the plays Rent and Cats , she found herself making her Broadway debut in 2024 as the lead character in the musical Sunset Blvd . 'I've always dreamed of this. I'm so fulfilled now to be able to finally share all of my gifts and all of my abilities with the world and connect with people through my performance on a much deeper, soulful, spiritual level,' she told CBS Mornings . But in light of her newfound pivot, in a recent interview with Vogue , she spoke about her early days in The Pussycat Dolls and how it changed her perception of sex appeal. 'I think the initial idea of the Dolls was to be sexy for others, where I think for the women of today, their sex appeal is for themselves,' she says. 'Real strength is loving yourself, embracing yourself.' Now on her own terms, Scherzinger's got no problem showing off in thirst traps.

What to See in London Theaters This Summer
The London stage is, as ever, bustling with an array of shows to satisfy all tastes. Starry plays and revivals jostle with high-profile musicals, both new and revivals, new drama and children's theater. Here's a guide to some of the enticements of the coming months, presented with an awareness that just as London contains multitudes, so, too, does its theater. Shows With Star Power Rosamund Pike has made her name onscreen in films like 'Gone Girl' and 'Saltburn' and returns to the stage to head the new play from the team behind the London and Broadway hit 'Prima Facie.' Like that play, Suzie Miller's 'Inter Alia' is set in the legal profession, with Pike as a prominent London judge, though unlike its solo-performer predecessor, 'Inter Alia' features a supporting cast, led by Jamie Glover. The show is just one of several National Theater titles vying for playgoers' attentions this summer: Others include the return of Michael Sheen in 'Nye' and the West End transfer of Beth Steel's 'Till the Stars Come Down.' Runs July 10 through Sept. 13 at the National Theater. The accolades have been pouring in for the onetime director Mark Rosenblatt's Olivier Award-winning debut play, which recalls an episode in the career of the author Roald Dahl. John Lithgow is in career-best form as Dahl, who has written a book review that is widely seen as antisemitic and refuses to reign in his language. Aya Cash and Elliot Levey do standout work playing his publishers; Nicholas Hytner is the characteristically adroit director. Buying tickets The box office is often the best port of call, if you want to avoid online fees or get 'rush' seats that are sometimes available shortly before curtain up. Various websites, including sell tickets alongside reviews and features. Drinks Reusable Sippy Cups may be the norm on Broadway, but they are rare outside the United States. 'Interval drinks,' as intermission beverages are known in Britain, are often served in actual glasses that can sometimes be taken into the auditorium and which can be ordered before the performance to avoid a crush at the bar in the break. Programs The pleasures of a free Playbill don't exist in London, where programs — not Playbills, which is an American brand — must be purchased. Some theaters have gone paperless and make program information available only by scanning a QR code or looking online. Refunds and exchanges These policies vary venue to venue, and sometimes show to show. Some theaters will issue a credit that can be used for other productions under the same roof, but London is stricter than New York about offering money back if a star is absent.

Brad Pitt Would Act With Tom Cruise Again but Only on the Ground: ‘I'm Not Gonna Hang My Ass Off Airplanes and S— Like That'
Brad Pitt told E! News at the Mexico premiere of 'F1' that he would be interested in acting opposite Tom Cruise again, as long as it doesn't require any death-defying aerial stunts. The two A-listers famously starred together in the 1994 horror drama 'Interview With the Vampire.' Pitt and Cruise never reunited on screen after that. 'Well, I'm not gonna hang my ass off airplanes and shit like that,' Pitt said with a laugh when asked about working with Cruise again. 'So when he does something again that's on the ground, [then yes].'

Custom Oakley Eyewear Pitt's 'F1' movie is directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the duo behind Cruise's record-breaking 'Top: Gun Maverick.' Pitt's movie was being developed while Cruise's movie was in post-production. 'Top Gun: Maverick' earned $1.4 billion at the worldwide box office in summer 2022. Kosinski recently told GQ magazine that he originally planned to reunite Cruise and Pitt for his version of 'Ford v Ferrari,' although the studio never approved his budget. James Mangold ended up directing 'Ford v Ferrari' with Christian Bale and Matt Damon instead. 'Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled,' Kosinski said when asked about what would've happened had Cruise starred in 'F1' over Pitt. 'They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more.' 'We'd have had a crash,' the film's action vehicle supervisor Graham Kelly quipped to GQ. 'Tom pushes it to the limit. I mean really to the limit. That terrifies me. I mean, I've done loads of 'Mission: Impossibles' with Tom and it's the most stressful experience for someone like me building cars for him, doing stunts with him. Whereas Brad listens and he knows his abilities, and I think he'd be the first to say, 'Yeah, I'm not going to do that.'' Pitt's 'F1' is set to open in theaters June 27. Cruise opened his own summer blockbuster in May with 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,' in which he dangled from the side of a moving airplane during one stunt.
