A familiar face was just filmed hailing a cab in New York. Gabriel Luna — fresh from HBO's The Last of Us — appears in a behind-the-scenes clip with Michael C. Hall and Uma Thurman, and fans are already buzzing.
The footage, posted to TikTok by DiaryoftheStarsNY, shows Luna stepping out of a building and scrambling into a taxi while Hall and Thurman move through the same frame. No studio press release has confirmed his appearance yet, but the video strongly suggests Luna has signed on as a guest in season two. Timing matters here: with The Last of Us on pause, Luna suddenly has room in his schedule to take on new work.
Dexter: Resurrection relocated the blood-splattered mythos to New York City and aged Dexter Morgan into a man trying to reconnect with his son while policing streets that hide dark intentions. The revival reminded viewers why the franchise still matters; critics and audiences embraced it, and a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes proves the appetite is real. The series is once again a cultural conversation starter.
What role might Luna play? Details are scarce, but his presence alongside the established leads hints at more than a background cameo. The TikTok clip reads like a set photo with purpose: a sign that production is leaning on recognizable talent to deepen season two’s stakes.
The new season already stacked its cast. Dan Stevens returns as the terrifying Five Borough Killer, the anonymous tormentor who terrorized New York with threats and phone calls. Brian Cox joins as the New York Ripper — a figure who, though long inactive, still haunts survivors and storylines. Bokeem Woodbine will portray Captain Mikkson, a tough, seasoned homicide captain who will presumably try to keep the city from falling apart.
No official premiere date has been announced yet. Still, the chatter points toward an October release window, which would line up with the show’s appetite for dark, fall television. Will Luna’s cameo be a single explosive scene or something that grows into a recurring arc? That mystery is part of the fun.
If the behind-the-scenes clip is any indication, Dexter’s New York chapter will continue to court big names and moral complications in equal measure — and viewers will be watching every cab that pulls up to the curb.
