Calling all Dexter fans! Are you (like us) morbidly curious to discover more about the childhood events that shaped the future of this iconic vigilante serial killer? Well, the wait is finally over. On December 13, the highly anticipated prequel series will air on Paramount Plus, giving us an insight into the world of Dexter, before he began living a double life in an endless string of plastic-wrapped killing rooms.
Stream this Paramount Plus Exclusive series from December 13.
From his late adoptive father, Miami Metro Police Officer Harry Morgan, to the ‘Dark Passenger’ that rules his psyche, Dexter’s life is rife with deeply complex relationships. As we’re taken on a journey through his formative years, we’ll learn more about Dexter’s early moral conflicts, and the sequence of events that led him to become a duplicitous killer, with an insatiable appetite for bringing retribution to other murderers.
Fans can look forward to a stellar cast including Christian Slater (Harry Morgan), Patrick Dempsey (new character) and a guest appearance from Sarah Michelle Gellar (Tanya Martin). Young Debra and Dexter will be played by Patrick Gibson and Molly Brown, with Michael C Hall returning to portray the voice of the Dark Passenger, Dexter’s murderous alter ego.
Many difficult questions remain to be answered as the premiere of Dexter: Original Sin looms. Did Harry mould an innocent child into a coldblooded killer? Or was his creation of The Code a necessary measure to ensure an outcome that was essentially the lesser of two evils? Stay tuned on Paramount Plus for this thrilling ten-part series to find out.
