UNTITLED DEXTER TRINITY KILLER PROJECT (Showtime) - Co-creators Clyde Phillips and Scott Reynolds have indicated the spin-off series remains in the works following a development room earlier this spring. "We wrote the entire Trinity Killer series. At the moment, it is on the back burner," Phillips said. "John Lithgow has agreed to be the voice of his younger self the way Michael Hall is doing for [Original Sin]. There's that and we're doing another show with Michael C. Hall, [Resurrection]... We were writing that while shooting Original Sin, so that's fairly busy. We begin shooting [Resurrection] in January and it will air in June 2025." (Deadline.com, 12/23)
