Michael C. Hall's wife and "Dexter" co-star, Jennifer Carpenter, shared great news about Hall's health on Friday.

Hall, who announced in January that he was battling Hodgkin's lymphoma, is "fully recovered" from the disease and has returned to work, Carpenter tells the Associated Press. She called her husband "incredibly brave."

Hall received ongoing treatment for his cancer after it went into remission. Earlier this year, he captured a Golden Globe for playing the likeable-yet-murderous title character on Showtime's "Dexter."
