It's hard to believe but on Oct. 1, 2016, "Dexter" is turning 10! The beloved Showtime crime series about a serial killer came to an end in 2013, but its cast members have been up to a lot since then! Wonderwall.com is taking a look at what they're doing these days, starting with Michael C. Hall. The entire show revolved around his character, Dexter Morgan, a forensic blood spatter analyst at the Miami Metro Police Department by day — and a serial killer who targets other murderers by night.

After "Dexter" ended, Michael C. Hall starred in 2014's "Cold in July."

The Hodgkin's lymphoma survivor, whose divorce from "Dexter" co-star Jennifer Carpenter was finalized in 2011, married novelist and book reviewer Morgan Macgregor on Feb. 29, 2016 — yup, on Leap Day. Less than a month later, he made a million-dollar profit when he sold his Los Angeles home for $4.85 million.

Jennifer Carpenter has played a couple of characters with the same name since her "Dexter" days. In 2014, she starred as Rebekah in the horror flick "The Devil's Hand" and in 2015, she took on the role of Rebecca Carpenter on the TV series "Limitless." Like ex-husband Michael C. Hall, Jennifer also found love again: She and folk musician Seth Avett began dating in 2013, and in May 2015, they welcomed son Isaac. One year later, they married over Memorial Day weekend.
Julie Benz is the actress who played Dexter's long-suffering wife, Rita Bennett. Dexter genuinely loved Rita and was devastated — SPOILER ALERT! Stop reading now if you're still planning to watch the show — when she was murdered by another serial killer in what was perhaps the most shocking moment of the entire series.
After "Dexter," Julie Benz appeared on several TV shows including "Desperate Housewives," "No Ordinary Family," "Defiance" and "Hawaii Five-O."

She married Firebrand LA co-founder Rich Orosco on May 5, 2012.

His most recent role was playing Jack in "Neon Demon," a horror movie also starring Elle Fanning, Christina Hendricks and Keanu Reeves.

Lauren Vélez has been on a few shows since "Dexter." Her most notable role was playing Tetra in "South of Hell," though she's also booked some great guest-starring stints on shows including "Unforgettable," "Elementary" and "How to Get Away with Murder."

As far as Lauren's personal life goes, she filed for divorce from her husband of 22 years, Mark Gordon, in 2015.

C.S. also voiced a soap opera actor character on "Family Guy" for a 2016 episode titled "Candy Quahog Marshmallow." There are currently two films in post-production with C.S. in them: "Tilt" and "Everything Beautiful Is Far Away."
James Remar (right) played Detective Harry Morgan, Dexter's adoptive father. Although he died 10 years before the story starts off, he appeared in flashbacks during the first two seasons and then showed up as a ghost who gives advice to Dexter.
After "Dexter," James Remar went to "Grey's Anatomy" where he played the role of Jimmy Evans. More recently, he was Syd on "State of Affairs" and Cephelo on "The Shannara Chronicles." As for his movie work, 2016 has been a big year for him: He's in "Decommissioned," "The Dog Lover" and "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage." Coming up, you can see James in "Smitten!" as well as "Feed," a film written by "Pretty Little Liars" star Troian Bellisario, who will also co-star.
Thomas Matthews, played by Geoff Pierson, was the Deputy Chief of the Miami Metro Homicide Division until he retired and Maria LaGuerta took over. He was also the late Harry Morgan's best friend.

Christina Robinson starred as Astor Bennett, the daughter of Rita and Bill Bennett. Dexter becomes her stepfather after marrying Rita. While at first Astor is skeptical of Dexter, their bond grows over time.
Christina Robinson has only been in one movie since her "Dexter" days. She played Lexi Smith in "Emma's Chance," a film that also starred Joey Lawrence and Kelsey Grammer's daughter Greer Grammer. She'll next appear in "Chrysaline," a 2016 short film about what it takes to create a supervillain.
