As previously reported, Brown plays Kurt Caldwell, a truck stop owner and Iron Lake’s unofficial mayor.

The original series, which ran from 2008-13 and remains one of Showtime’s signature dramas, followed Dexter Morgan (Hall), a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami Police Department who moonlighted as a serial killer.
