*Paramount+ with SHOWTIME released the official trailer for the highly anticipated prequel “Dexter: Original Sin” starring Patrick Gibson.
We reported earlier that “Dexter” star Michael C. Hall is returning to the series to voice the iconic inner monologue in Dexter Morgan’s head. He is also set to headline the previously announced sequel series, “Dexter: Resurrection,” which will pick up where “Dexter: New Blood,” left off.
“Set in 1991 Miami, DEXTER: ORIGINAL SIN follows Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness,” per the series description. “With the guidance of his father, Harry (Christian Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement’s radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.”
