What is Dexter: Original Sin about?
Original Sin is a Dexter prequel series that takes place in 1991, following Dexter as a student while he learns to become an expert serial killer.
The series will feature Michael C. Hall as Dexter once more, but only as the narrator. Patrick Gibson will take up the mantle as the younger version of the character.
The official synopsis is as follows: “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 (Golden Globe® winner 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.”
