We'd been led to believe that Dexter Morgan's story reached a definitive end when the serial killer was gunned down by his son in Dexter: New Blood. However, a newly released trailer for the upcoming prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin, reveals that he at least makes it to the hospital. 

With that, it appears we're one step closer to another sequel series; remember, original plans called for a spin-off revolving around Harrison Morgan before Showtime's attention shifted to exploring Dexter's early years.

Patrick Gibson takes over as the title character to explore Dexter's origin story, though Michael C. Hall will be on hand as narrator and his most famous role's "inner voice." This trailer also points to us picking up with Dexter in the present day. 

It's a little strange watching this trailer and seeing younger versions of so many familiar faces. However, Dexter ended way back in 2013, so enough time has arguably passed for different actors to make these characters their own.

Dexter: Original Sin premieres on Friday, December 13 on streaming and on demand for Paramount+ subscribers, before making its on-air US debut on Sunday, December 15 at 10pm ET/PT.

Internationally, the series will air exclusively on Paramount+ on December 13th in the UK, Canada, Australia, Latin America, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The 10-episode drama series chronicles America’s favourite serial killer in training.     

Set in 1991 Miami, Dexter: Original Sin follows Dexter (Patrick 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 (Christian Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve 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.   

Dexter: Original Sin also stars Molly Brown, Christina Milian, James Martinez, Alex Shimizu, Reno Wilson, special guest star Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Patrick Dempsey. As noted, Michael C. Hall returns to voice the iconic inner monologue in Dexter Morgan's head.   

The series is executive produced by Clyde Phillips and produced by Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios. Executive producers also include Scott Reynolds (Jessica Jones), Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Mary Leah Sutton (Resident Evil), Tony Hernandez (Emily in Paris) and Lilly Burns (Russian Doll), with the series being produced by Robert Lloyd Lewis (The Lincoln Lawyer).

Michael Lehmann (Heathers) serves as directing executive producer. For Showtime Studios, the series is being creatively overseen by Gary Levine and Urooj Sharif with production supervised by Tara Power.

Let me be FIRST to say the OG series was unreal up to Lithgow - the rest is ass.

@Batmangina - I still liked it personally. It wasn't as good but every season (minus 8) had its upsides. Lumen was a fun character in season 5, the idea of the killer in 6 was fun as was the episode with Brian. Season 7 was okay overall and then season 8 was just trash from start to finish and felt like 2 seasons smushed together. Cause it probably was.

@Batmangina - Funny how they release this trailer right before Thanksgiving, one of the best episodes ever was with Lithgow and it was a "Thanksgiving episode", when Dexter met Trinity's family.

@Batmangina - Yeah Trinity Killer (Lithgow) was peak and should have ended there.

@TyrantBossMedia - Agreed. That season was the [frick]ing APEX of hard R television.

Loved the original dexter. Really liked new blood until the ending. Which was a good idea badly executed. This looks like it could be interesting although I am starting to go under the just let it die umbrella.

Especially with resurrection coming out. But this show at least doesn't look bad, even if it's unessecary since we basically know everything we need too from the flashbacks in the original.

Not to mention there is no sense of danger since it's a prequel so that's a hard hurdle to jump over.

Overall I'll watch this but I'm skeptical.

Please don't suck Dexter deserves something good.

@Mrcool210 - Did you watch the trailer? This seems like a very specific bridge between New Blood and Ressurection 😊

I’ll watch it.

It’s kind of like watching a show about Gusto if he wasn’t so lazy and drunk all the time.

Just glad it looks like there's a chance present day Dexter will pull through after this.

@ModHaterSLADE - Well it's not a chance. Dexter resurrection is coming out after this. Which is a sequel series. So he's definitely making it out of this.

@Mrcool210 - Good looking out.

I wonder if SMG is enough reason to watch this

Soooo, he's not dead? The first couple of seconds makes it seem that way.

@IronMan616 - a sequel series called Dexter Resurrection is coming, with MCH confirmed to return. So he's definitely not dead.

@Mrcool210 - Well damn, I thought someone in another forum was joking when they said there was going to be another season.

I hope Marvel casts Michael C Hall as the most recent version of Normal Osbourne!

While enjoyed Dexter (despite the terrible finale), and I liked New Blood (until the rushed and convenient ending).....I go back to may standard stance on origin stories.

Do we really need them?

Most of Dexter's origin was discussed in flashbacks during the original series.

If they want to keep the IP alive then they should have gone where they were going in New Blood by having his son carry the dark passenger.

Any other origin story is just member berries.

I tapped out after Episode 3 of the sequel series. I'll need to complete that one before tuning into this origin story. The 80's-inspired background music, and seeing some classic (to me) faces in Slater, Dempsey, and Gellar adds some excitement/interest to the trailer.

Also, something new to watch instead of something that Taylor Sheridan created. "Landman" is good, but it feels like I'm kind of watching another version of Yellowstone. (Which, my understanding is Texas stole S02 of 1923 from us up here in Montana, and Jimmy's Four-Sixes spinoff will also be filmed in Texas).
