Michael C. Hall just can’t shake off Dexter Morgan. Hall’s back as the serial killer who slices and dices up bad guys in both Showtime’s Dexter: Original Sin and the just-announced Dexter: Resurrection.
Hall will be providing the inner voice of Dexter in the prequel series, and then jumping in front of the camera for Dexter: Resurrection which will be set in the modern day. Original Sin is currently shooting and is targeting a December 2024 premiere. Resurrection is expected to rise in 2025.
“We are thrilled to have the brilliant Michael C. Hall reprise his iconic role as Dexter Morgan in Showtime’s most successful series ever,” said Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO, Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios. “While Dexter: Resurrection will appeal to the tens of millions of longtime fans, Dexter: Original Sin will introduce a whole new generation of viewers into this iconic series by starting from the beginning, which is sure to satisfy existing audiences as well.”
Both series have Clyde Phillips as showrunner and executive producer.
The original series ran for eight seasons and spawned the limited series Dexter: New Blood, set 10 years after the Dexter season finale.
Dexter: Original Sin stars Patrick Gibson as a young Dexter, Molly Brown plays his sister, and Christian Slater plays their father. The 10-episode season also stars Patrick Dempsey as Aaron Spencer, James Martinez as Angel Batista, Christina Milian as Maria LaGuerta, Alex Shimizu as Vince Masuka, and Reno Wilson as Bobby Watt. Emmy winner Sarah Michelle Gellar guest stars as Tanya Martin.
“Set in 1991 Miami, Dexter: Original Sin 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,” reads 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 enforcements’ radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.”
