A "Dexter" prequel series is being developed for Paramount+ with Showtime, and it has been announced that Patrick Gibson ("Tolkien", "The OA"), Christian Slater ("Mr. Robot") and Molly Brown ("Senior Year", "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel") have signed on to star as the leads in the show.
Titled "Dexter: Original Sin", the series is set in 1991, 15 years before the events of "Dexter", and it follows Dexter (Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. 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 (Slater), 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. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department. Brown will play Debra Morgan, Dexter's sister.
Clyde Phillips, the original showrunner and executive producer on "Dexter" returns in that role for "Original Sin". Michael C. Hall is also an executive producer on the series, as is Scott Reynolds, Mary Leah Sutton, Tony Hernandez, and Lilly Burns. Michael Lehmann, the director of "Heathers" will serve as director and executive producer.
Robert Lloyd Lewis is a producer on the series. Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios produce. Gary Levine and Urooj Sharif will oversee for Showtime Studios, with production supervised by Tara Power. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution outside of Paramount+ markets.
