The upcoming series in the Dexter-verse, Dexter: Resurrection, is set to bring back some of the most iconic and memorable characters from the original series. Among these returning figures are the Trinity Killer, Miguel Prado, Harry Morgan, and Angel Batista, who is expected to play a major role alongside Michael C. Hall.
However, amid Batista’s significant return, there have also been hints about the comeback of another fan-favorite, the humorous and awkward Vince Masuka, known for his off-color jokes and sharp forensic expertise.
Could Vince Masuka possibly return in Dexter: Resurrection?
Amid the return of several characters from the original series in Dexter: Resurrection, one name that keeps popping up is Vince Masuka. Known for his crude sense of humor and razor-sharp forensic skills, Masuka, played by C.S. Lee, was a constant source of comic relief throughout Dexter’s original run.
And fans are now hopeful for his return in the upcoming series, especially with Angel Batista playing a major role. While there has been no official confirmation, several subtle teases suggest that Masuka may indeed return to the screen.
One of the most notable hints came in Dexter: New Blood. Though Masuka didn’t physically appear, the finale included a clever Easter egg in Angel Batista’s inbox. Among the emails, two were from Masuka, referencing his bachelor party and some forensic work.
These brief mentions served not only as a treat for the fans but also as confirmation that Masuka is still part of Dexter’s world, and that he may have evolved, perhaps even settling down. It also indicated that he’s still working at Miami Metro, maintaining his forensic role.
It opens up intriguing possibilities for his return in Dexter: Resurrection. Bringing Masuka back wouldn’t just cheer nostalgic viewers, it would reconnect the story to its original forensic roots, adding balance and humor to the darker themes.
C.S. Lee is open to reprising his role as Vince Masuka in Dexter: Resurrection
It’s not just fans who are eager to see Vince Masuka return to the Dexter-verse. C.S. Lee, who portrayed the character throughout all eight seasons, has also hinted at the possibility of a comeback.
During an appearance on the YouTube series Dexter’s Kill Room, Lee made a comment that caught the attention of many fans. In a casual remark, he said, “I feel Masuka resurrected.”
The phrase immediately sparked speculation, as it appeared to reference the upcoming series title, Dexter: Resurrection. Many fans interpreted it as a subtle hint that Masuka could return in the new chapter of the series.
While the comment was vague, Lee has also been more direct about his interest in returning.
“I would be totally open to it!” he said during an appearance on Final Cut. He went on to express his enthusiasm about reprising the role and reuniting with Michael C. Hall.
To be able to play Masuka again on the small screen and act with Michael C. Hall once more would be incredible.
However, he tempered expectations with honesty, adding, “I don’t know if that’s going to happen.”
Still, his openness and the show’s trend of reviving fan-favorite characters have only added fuel to the speculation. With Dexter: Resurrection bringing back familiar faces like Angel Batista and others, the return of Masuka feels more possible than ever.
Dexter: Resurrection is set to premiere on July 11, 2025, on Paramount+ with Showtime in the USA.
