What is going on between Mia and Gareth?
Week by week, the cast of Dexter: Resurrection is expanding, not only with new faces but also with high-profile talent. The latest addition is David Dastmalchian, who was announced on Thursday morning to join the highly anticipated series in a guest role.
Dastmalchian will portray a character named Gareth. However, just like Neil Patrick Harris and Eric Stonestreet, little is known about his role beyond the character's name. On the other hand, Krysten Ritter's character, Mia Lapierre, also known as "Lady Vengeance," was revealed through Deadline.com before Showtime officially confirmed her casting. Despite this reveal, Showtime has only officially acknowledged her character's first name, "Mia."
Following Dastmalchian's casting announcement, Krysten Ritter welcomed her new co-star by sharing a behind-the-scenes selfie from the set of Dexter: Resurrection, which has been filming in New York City for nine weeks.
The black-and-white photo features Dastmalchian (49) posing next to Ritter (43) inside a production van somewhere in NYC. The intriguing caption Ritter used to accompany the photo has sparked speculation among fans:
"🧛♀️🧛♂️ - Goth fam says hi - having a killer time with David Dastmalchian 🔪🩸"
Her choice of male and female vampire emojis and the reference to a "goth fam" has led fans to speculate that Mia and Gareth may have a close connection, possibly as siblings or lovers. While nothing is confirmed, their dynamic as a potential killer duo is highly anticipated, given the exceptional talent of both actors.
