A Peek Into the Past of Dexter
Hey, ‘Dexter’ fans! An exciting surprise is on its way. Showtime is taking us on a thrilling trip back in time with ‘Dexter: Original Sin’, a prequel to the popular series. Are you curious to see what young Dexter looked like? Well, the mystery is partially solved. First-look images of the cast are now out, teasing a bit of the action that’s to come.
Meet Young Dexter
This prequel brings us back to Miami in 1991. Grit, neon lights, and a journey to the past await. The show centers on the early life of Dexter Morgan. The young character will be played by Patrick Gibson, who mastered his craft in ‘Shadow and Bone’. In ‘Dexter: Original Sin’, we’ll witness Dexter’s journey from being a mere student to becoming a promising serial killer. His character is sculpted under the guidance of his father Harry, played by Christian Slater known for his role in ‘Mr. Robot’.
Between Violence and Virtue
The series explores the inner conflicts that Dexter battles with. As his violent urges become increasingly difficult to control, Dexter finds support in his father. Harry helps manage Dexter’s dark desires by introducing a code. This code is meant to focus Dexter’s urges to kill only those who are truly deserving. With Dexter also interning in forensics at the Miami Metro Police Department, how he balances his secret life with work promises an intriguing narrative.
More than Just Dexter
The series doesn’t just revolve around Dexter and his dad, though. They’re joined by Molly Brown from ‘Senior Year’. She steps into the shoes of Debra Morgan, Dexter’s younger sister. Other familiar faces from the original series and some fresh talent are also part of the cast. The lineup includes Christina Milian, James Martinez, Alex Shimizu, and Patrick Dempsey.
Dexter: A Blend of Evil and Good
Across nine seasons of ‘Dexter’, Michael C. Hall brought the title character to life. Dexter is a serial killer who only targets the guilty. He leverages his job as a blood spatter analyst with the Miami police to access crime scenes and confirm the guilt of his victims before punishing them with his unique sense of justice.
What to Expect with the Prequel
The prequel, ‘Dexter: Original Sin’, is prepping up for streaming on Paramount+. It’s expecting to launch with 10 episodes for the first season. Production is already taking place in Miami.
