America’s favorite (and most terrifying) TV serial killer is returning in “Dexter: Original Sin.
This new Showtime series, available on Paramount+, will delve into the origins of Dexter Morgan. Patrick Gibson, known for his role in “Shadow and Bone,” will portray the young Dexter. Golden Globe winner Christian Slater joins the cast as Harry Morgan, Dexter’s adoptive father, while Molly Brown (“Senior Year”) takes on the role of Dexter’s younger sister, Debra.
The original “Dexter” series, which ran for eight seasons on Showtime, starred Michael C. Hall as the complex serial killer who balanced his bloodlust with a strict moral code. James Remar and Jennifer Carpenter played Harry and Debra Morgan, respectively, in the original show.
Clyde Phillips, the showrunner for “Dexter,” is back at the helm for this 10-episode prequel. Set in 1991 Miami, “Dexter: Original Sin” will explore Dexter’s formative years as he grapples with his dark urges. Harry, Dexter’s only confidante, will introduce him to the code that will shape his future – a code that allows him to kill those who deserve it while avoiding detection. This becomes especially challenging when Dexter lands a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.
Produced by Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios, “Dexter: Original Sin” boasts an impressive team of executive producers. This includes Clyde Phillips, Michael C. Hall, Scott Reynolds, Mary Leah Sutton, Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, and Robert Lloyd Lewis. Michael Lehmann, who previously directed Slater in the 1989 cult classic “Heathers,” will serve as directing executive producer for the series.
With a captivating cast, a talented production team, and a glimpse into Dexter’s dark past, “Dexter: Original Sin” promises to be a thrilling addition to the Dexter universe.
