Despite her character's fate in season 1, Krysten Ritter is set to return in Dexter: Resurrection season 2.
Per a press release, Ritter is set to return as a guest star in season 2 after her "fan-favorite character, the vivacious and voracious Lady Vengeance (Mia Lapierre), met her demise while in prison." The nature of her demise has been a massive debate amongst fans, as the season finale gives us a teeny tiny detail that she may have faked her death.
When Dexter is trapped in Prater's creepy serial killer archive in episode 10, he opens Mia's file. The file in question lists her status as "active," leading fans to believe the whole bribing a prison guard to kill her and make it look like a suicide didn't actually happen, and that Prater's (former) assistant Charley may have helped her get away.
Uma Thurman is indeed set to return as Charley, with Brian Cox joining the cast as The New York Ripper and Dan Stevens as The Five Borough Killer. Whether Ritter is returning as Mia, or rejoining as a new character entirely, remains to be seen.
Star Michael C. Hall announced back in October that Dexter: Resurrection would indeed return, despite the cancellation of prequel series Dexter: Original Sin and the still-in-pre-production spin-off based on the flagship show's Trinity Killer.
