A hard premiere date and new teaser trailer for prequel spin-off Dexter: Original Sin dropped today, via Paramount+ and Showtime.
The 10-episode limited series will premiere Friday, December 13 on streaming and on demand for Paramount+ subscribers with the Paramount+ with Showtime plan, before making its on-air US debut on Sunday, December 15.
Dexter: Original Sin chronicles “America’s favorite serial killer in training” according to the streamer. Set in 1991 in Miami, we follow 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.
The series also stars Patrick Dempsey, Molly Brown, James Martinez, Christina Milian, Alex Shimizu, Reno Wilson and special guest star, Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Michael C. Hall returns to voice the iconic inner monologue in Dexter Morgan’s head.
