Paramount + with Showtime has released a full-length trailer for its eagerly anticipated “Dexter” prequel series “Original Sin.” Set 15 years before the events of the original “Dexter” series, the show introduces young serial killer Dexter Morgan as a forensics intern for Miami Metro PD.
Patrick Gibson (“The Tudors”) is our new Dexter. Molly Brown (“Evil”) is his potty-mouthed sister, Deb. Christian Slater (Heathers) plays Harry, Dexter’s adoptive father with a code.
Pop singer Christina Milian is Maria LaGuerta, Miami Metro’s first female homicide detective (and the department’s captain on the original show), James Martinez (“House of Cards”) is homicide detective Angel Batista, and Alex Shimizu (“The Terror”) is pervy lead forensics investigator, Vince Masuka.
Sarah Michelle Gellar (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is along for the ride as new character CSI Chief Tanya Martin, one of Dexter’s supervisors on the force who is completely unaware she’s teaching him how to avoid capture.
Emmy winner Michael C. Hall, who played Dexter in the original series, returns to narrate the show as the beloved serial killer’s inner voice. In the trailer, he also sets up “Original Sin’s” premise as the life-flashing-before-his-eyes while bleeding out and being rushed to a hospital at the end of 2021’s “New Blood,” in which he was shot by his pansy, completely unlikable kid Harrison.
Hall will return in a second new “Dexter” series entitled “Resurrection.”
“Dexter: Original Sin” premieres Dec. 13 on Paramount+ with a 10-episode season. Showrunner Clyde Phillips–the man behind “Dexter’s” brilliant first four seasons (and the god-awful “New Blood”)–is back as showrunner.
