Dexter Morgan is back—well, as his younger self—in the upcoming prequel, Dexter: Original Sin, and a brand new trailer has us giddy with anticipation!
Over 12 years after the OG crime drama concluded and two years after its short-lived spin-off Dexter: New Blood, fans are set to be transported back to 1991, when a young Dexter shifts from an everyday man to, well, a murderer.
Here is everything we know about the upcoming Dexter: Original Sin series.

When did the show get announced?
Showtime and Paramount+ announced their plans for a prequel in February 2023.
Who is starring in Dexter: Original Sin?
Michael C. Hall—the original Dexter—will return for the prequel’s inner voice and as the show’s narrator. Again, what an amazing way to bring about a new energy while still honouring as young Dexter, the very specific vibe of the original.
But who else will be in this new series?
Christian Slater will star as Harry Morgan, Patrick Gibson will play the young Dexter Morgan, and Molly Brown will play Debra Morgan.
Other stars include Patrick Dempsey as Aaron Spencer, James Martinez as Angel Batista, Christina Milian as Maria LaGuerta, Alex Shimizu as Vince Masuka, Reno Wilson as Bobby Watt and Sarah Michelle Gellar as Tanya Martin.
What will Dexter: Original Sin be about?
As viewers of the OG Dexter will know, Dexter kills those who take the lives of others, but these others are bad, well according to Dexter anyway.
Dexter: Original Sin starts in 1991, which is 15 years before we first met Dexter in the original series.
It will follow a young Dexter beginning his forensics internship at Miami Metro Police Department as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer.
In the prequel, Dexter’s father, Harry Morgan, helps his son manage his urges and goes back to the time period in which he made his first human kill at 20 years old.
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, he adopts a code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcements’ radar.
The Dexter prequel makes a whole lot of sense considering how much of the original series reflected on the past.
