Despite the death of her character, Debra Morgan, in the original Dexter, Jennifer Carpenter didn’t let that stop her from reprising her role in Dexter: New Blood. That series allowed Deb to return as a recurring hallucination for her adoptive brother — and titular serial killer — Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall). While Hall has signed on to reprise his role in the upcoming sequel series, Dexter: Resurrection, Carpenter has indicated that she will not be coming back this time.
“I am pretty focused where I am, and I feel like I’ve completed that box,” Carpenter told People Magazine. “I’m proud of it… I hope that [the cast is] having a wonderful time… And I’m so happy for the fans to have more to chew on.”
Carpenter played Debra in all eight seasons of Dexter, and she was a key character in the show, especially after she discovered her brother’s secret life as serial killer who preys on evil people. More recently, Carpenter signed on to co-star in the second and final season of the Yellowstone prequel series, 1923.

The present-day scenes in the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin revealed that Dexter survived his near-fatal wounds from the last episode of Dexter: New Blood. Dexter told his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), to shoot him in the hope that Harrison could have a normal life free of Dexter’s darkness. Alcott will reprise his role in Resurrection alongside original Dexter stars David Zayas and James Remar. Uma Thurman and Peter Dinklage have also signed on to appear in the new show.
Dexter: Resurrection doesn’t currently have a premiere date, but it may arrive on Paramount+ with Showtime later this year.

But while you’re scrambling to see all the new movies, why not make some time for past winners, too? While there have certainly been some bad Oscar winners in the past, the Academy is fairly consistent with awarding the best movies.
If you’re a Peacock subscriber, you don’t have access to as many Oscar winners as some other platforms, but there are still options (and some 2025 Oscar hopefuls). To help you zero in on something worth your time, we’ve highlighted five great Oscar-winning movies to stream on Peacock to watch now.

5 great Oscar-winning movies to watch on Disney+
There are very few Academy Awards winners on Disney+, simply because Disney’s live-action studio hasn’t been nearly as successful at the Oscars as its animated counterparts have. There are a handful of special effects Oscar-winners on Disney+ like Star Wars and Avatar, or even winners of Best Song including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and more.
However, we’ve decided that the five great Oscar-winning movies to watch on Disney+ should be the ones that are winners of the Best Animated Feature award, which has only been given out since 2002. Between Disney and Pixar, Disney+ has 15 Oscar-winners in that category. We narrowed it down to five, and it’s not a coincidence that all of our picks were made by Pixar. That studio has had some stumbles in the last few years, but their very best films embody heart and soul like few others.
