Paramount+ with Showtime’s official Dexter: Original Sin trailer gives Dexter fans the first real look at the younger versions of the key players. Michael C. Hall returns to voice Dexter’s inner thoughts, and Patrick Gibson takes on the role of the serial killer in training.

When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness,” reads Paramount+ with Showtime’s synopsis. “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 enforcement’s radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.”

The 10-episode season premieres on December 13, 2024 on Paramount+ with Showtime and on Showtime on December 15th.

The prequel is executive produced by showrunner Clyde Phillips (Dexter), Scott Reynolds (Jessica Jones), Michael C.
