After a long two-year wait, Dexter is finally returning to our screens. Fans of the hit show have been eagerly anticipating its comeback and now they have even more reason to be excited. The new season, titled Dexter: Original Sin, will serve as a prequel to the original series, giving viewers a glimpse into the early years of the infamous serial killer.
But that's not the only reason to be excited. Hollywood legend Christian Slater has joined the cast, adding even more star power to the already impressive lineup. Known for his roles in iconic films such as Heathers and True Romance, Slater will be playing Dexter's father, Harry. Fans will be relieved to know that despite the shocking ending of the original series, Dexter is very much alive in this prequel.
Set 15 years before the events of the OG series, Dexter: Original Sin follows a young Dexter, played by Patrick Gibson of Shadow and Bone fame, as he transforms from a normal American student to a calculated and vengeful serial killer. With the help of his father, Dexter adopts a Code that allows him to hunt down and eliminate those who deserve to be taken off the streets, all without getting caught by law enforcement.
The original Dexter series premiered in 2006 and ran for eight successful seasons until 2013. Throughout its run, it received numerous accolades and nominations, including 24 Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards. It was also praised by critics and fans alike, earning a spot on AFI's top 10 television series list and the Writer's Guild of America's list of the 101 Best Written TV Series.
In 2021, Dexter was rebooted in a show set 10 years after the events of the original. Titled Dexter: New Blood, the revival saw Michael C. Hall reprise his role as the titular character for two seasons before its controversial ending, which left fans devastated.
This will be Christian Slater's first time joining the Dexter franchise, but he is no stranger to the small screen. He has previously starred in the hit series Mr. Robot and has also appeared in a number of films, including Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, Interview with the Vampire, and Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac.
The prequel will take place in 90s Miami, where a young Dexter will be navigating his dark desires while working as a forensics intern at the Miami Metro Police Department. It promises to be a thrilling and chilling ride for fans of the original series and newcomers alike.
Dexter: Original Sin will be available to stream on Paramount Plus. So mark your calendars and get ready to sink your teeth into this highly anticipated prequel.
