‘Dexter’ prequel series ‘Original Sin’ to premiere in December

Paramount+ with Showtime is detailing the new series Dexter: Original Sin. The prequel series will premiere on Sunday, Dec. 15, and follows Dexter during his teenage years. Original Sin is a prequel to Dexter, the 2006-2013 Showtime series starring Michael C. Hall as a vigilante serial killer. Hall returns in Original Sin to narrate the inner monologue of Dexter.

Original Sin is set in 1991 Miami and is centered on the younger version of the serial-killer character as he transitions “from student to avenging serial killer.” Per an official description: “when his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry (Christian Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserved 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.”

Paramount had previously  dropped the first teaser for the series, featuring Patrick Gibson as a young Dexter Morgan and “Dexter” star Michael C. Hall narrating as he says, “I’m a killer, but I wasn’t born this way. I was made.” The cast of Original Sin also includes Molly Brown, James Martinez, Christina Milian, Alex Shimizu, Reno Wilson and guest star Sarah Michelle Gellar.
