Yvonne Strahovski Lands Multi-Episode Arc on DEXTER

Yvonne Strahovski joins DEXTER season 7We wondered what Yvonne Strahovski would do next now that Chuck is finished and she’s wrapped filming on I, Frankenstein. Looks like she’s heading back to the small screen! Per the press release we just received, Yvonne has signed on for a multi-episode arc on the seventh season of Showtime’s serial killer series, [easyazon-link asin=”B000Q6GUW0″]Dexter[/easyazon-link].

Yvonne will play the role of Hannah McKay, a strong, independent woman with a past that she’s struggled to put behind her. As a turn of events leads Miami Metro Homicide to ask for her help in solving some old cases, Dexter works with her and begins to wonder if there’s more to this woman than she’s professed. Hey, we know Yvonne does “mysterious” well, so this sounds like perfect casting!

Dexter kicks off season 7 on Sunday, September 30 at 9/8c on Showtime.

(Need to catch up? The first six seasons of Dexter are available [easyazon-link asin=”B000Q6GUW0″]Amazon[/easyazon-link] and on iTunes.)

    Glad to hear she’s doing so well after Chuck!!

  2. That’s so cool! I don’t watch Dexter but that’s still SO COOL!

  3. I think it’s great to see Yvonne doing another show I don’t watch Dexter but I think it’s great!

  4. i like yvonne but i hate dexter. y????

  5. My goodness. Is Yvonne more beautiful than ever? Yep, she sure is! 🙂 The photo of her right above is simply stunning! 😮

    Anyway, I tried watching Dexter and it gets old quickly. He does the same thing over and over again. Spots a target and chops them up. Amazing, how Dexter keeps getting renewed and quite frankly, the show is not all that. But season 7 will be the exemption. I will see Dexter ONLY because our beloved Sarah….uh, Yvonne will be on it.

    Good for you Yvonne!

  6. OMG, I love this!!! I love Dexter, I am even more excited for the next season now!!

    Wow!….no love for Dexter? It’s a long way from Chuck, but still a fantastic show. I strongly suggest to anyone that plans to watch season 7 because of Yvonne to DEFINITELY watch the first 6 seasons to catch up. This past season finale had references that went all the way back to the pilot! At least give the first season a shot. You’ll be hooked – guaranteed.

    Huge role for her to land. Can’t wait to see her this fall (even if isn’t as Sarah Walker) .

    • I have to admit I have never watched Dexter, the idea of watching a serial killer week after week chopping up people into little bits didn’t seem appealing to me.

      However, now that Yvonne is on it, I am going to at least give it a try.

      I was disappointed Zac’s pilot fell through, so at least its good to know that there is one cast member we will be able to see on a regular basis. I miss them all.

      Lets hope the other cast members get some projects soon.

    • I gave Dexter a chance by watching seasons 1-3 and I couldn’t take it anymore. It’s very slow paced with the same chopping up bodies every single episode. Dexter’s sister is super annoying. Nothing sexy about her, curses more than Dexter and the whole police dept combined. *yaaaaahn* I’m just simply stunned that Dexter keeps getting renewed, but in this case, my beloved Yvonne will guest star and that’s the ONLY reason I’ll watch Dexter this September.

      BTW, I won’t be surprised if Dexter’s ratings go through the roof because of Yvonne.:)

  8. Great, now I gotta spend this summer catching up on The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Luther, AND Dexter lol =P

    Now if we could just get Joshua Gomez or Vik Sahay on Community lol

  10. Now there’s a fun idea! Let’s think of some shows that the CHUCK cast could guest on!

    Yvonne Strahovski = Hawaii 5-0 (for the bathing suit possibilities!)
    Zachary Levi = SMASH (Zac gets a chance to show off his singing and moves)
    Adam Baldwin = Leverage (added to the team for one mission. Casey grunts anyone?

    • Actually, I loved Adam in his recent guest stint on Castle. I thought the character was terrific. He played the perfect over the top cop. I wish they’d bring him back as a reoccurring character next season.

      I’ve seen a total of two episodes of Dexter and it wasn’t my type of show. I probably will watch. This new season just for Yvonne. Maybe I’ll just fast forward to her parts each episode.

  11. I just hope they don’t end her arc with her being chopped up into little pieces, I don’t think I could watch that.

    As for the past she is trying to put behind her, I know what that is.
    She was a CIA agent who married a nerd in Burbank but after losing her memory she decided she didn’t love him anymore and took off.

    • Gord dont get ur hopes up, if she has a shady past (specifically murder) and Dexter finds out about it, there is a very good chance she will end up on his table.

      I am a huge Dexter fan, so I am looking forward to this. I will admit however its gunna be a little wierd seeing Yvonne in one of my fav shows not named Chuck. That being said she is such a great actress I am sure she will fit right in.

      To anybody that has not seen Dexter I highly recommend, its nothing like Chuck, but its a very good show. Also, it is so much more than Dexter killing people; there are reasons for everything he does. His character is fascinating and surprisinlgy very human.

    • Let’s hope you’re wrong about her past…
      anyway, I have never watched Dexter and I don’t think I will start now, but I’m gonna say this: her character seems a lot like Sarah

  12. Good For Here, and She’ll Have Some Tang In Her Life Now, Harry Tang.

  13. If you have seen the new spoilers for Dexter (from TvLine.com), there is a good chance that Yvonne will not be a murderer, but a former exotic dancer.

    Not sure if this is going to get censored or not. But the link is below:

    • I wondered if that intel that a strip club plays a significant role this season was in reference to Yvonne’s character, too. Guess we’ll have to wait and see!

      • Stupid Foreigner

        They have also announced “Russian stripper” as a recurring character for season 7, played by Swedish actress Katia Winter.

  14. Can’t wait for Masuka to hit on her…lol and you know he will.Musuka a slave to his hormones..lol

    CS LEE is so funny, he is brilliant as masuka and was funny as heck as Harry Tang.
