Official Trailer for ‘Dexter: Original Sin’ on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME
Paramount+ with SHOWTIME has dropped the official trailer for the highly anticipated prequel to “Dexter: Original Sin,” featuring Patrick Gibson in the lead role. Fans of the original series will be excited to know that Michael C. Hall is returning to provide the iconic inner monologue for Dexter Morgan’s character. Hall is also set to star in the upcoming sequel series, “Dexter: Resurrection,” which continues the story from where “Dexter: New Blood” left off.
The new prequel, “Dexter: Original Sin,” is set in 1991 Miami and follows Dexter as he navigates the transition from student to avenging serial killer. With his father, Harry (Christian Slater), guiding him, Dexter adopts a Code to help him eliminate people who deserve to be taken out of society, all while avoiding the law enforcement’s radar. This presents a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins an internship with the Miami Metro Police Department.

The upcoming series, “Dexter: Resurrection,” is set to debut in Summer 2025 and will pick up right where the story left off, potentially expanding into multiple seasons.
The new prequel, “Dexter: Original Sin,” premieres on Friday, December 13 for Paramount+ subscribers with the Paramount+ SHOWTIME plan, before making its on-air US debut on Sunday, December 15. Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO of Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios, expressed excitement about Michael C. Hall reprising his role as Dexter Morgan, emphasizing the show’s enduring appeal to existing fans and its potential to attract new viewers.
