Mos Def Appears In Trailer For Season Six Of Showtime's "Dexter"

Mos Def is back on the small screen. The rapper-turned-actor has inked a deal to appear in a multi-episode arc on the upcoming sixth season of Showtime’s Dexter.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Mos will play a “hardened ex-con who claims to have found religion yet seems to continually find himself surrounded by violence.” Michael C. Hall’s title character will attempt to get down to the bottom of who he actually is.

The sixth season of the show begins shooting in June with plans for the new batch of episodes to air in the fall. Additional guest star Colin Hanks will appear on the new season as Travis, “Dexter’s main nemesis and a highly intelligent ancient artifacts expert who is linked to a series of grisly murders in Miami.”
