Dexter Morgan is making a comeback!
At the Comic-Con panel for the upcoming prequel series, “Dexter: Original Sin,” fans were left in awe when it was announced that Michael C. Hall would be returning for an all-new sequel series, “Dexter: Resurrection!“
Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO, expressed his excitement:
We are thrilled to have the brilliant Michael C. Hall reprise his iconic role as Dexter Morgan in Showtime’s most successful series ever.
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.
The original “Dexter” series aired on Showtime from 2006 to 2013, and was followed by “Dexter: New Blood” in 2021, which took place 10 years after the original finale.
“Dexter: Resurrection,” a sequel to “New Blood,” is set in the present day and will premiere in Summer 2025.
Additionally, previous seasons of both shows are available for streaming on Paramount+ with the Paramount+ with Showtime plan.
Interestingly, the original “Dexter” series has been climbing the Neilsen charts recently.
In the week of June 24, it ranked No. 2 on the top 10 chart (just behind Showtime’s “Your Honor“), amassing 1.48 billion viewing minutes across all platforms, outperforming top shows like “The Bear,” “The Boys,” and “Bridgerton.”
‘Dexter: Original Sin’
Michael C. Hall made a surprise appearance at the “Dexter: Original Sin” panel in San Diego, joining showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, executive producer Scott Reynolds, and cast members Christian Slater, Patrick Gibson, and Molly Brown.
Guest star Sarah Michelle Gellar served as the moderator.
The 10-episode prequel, set in 1991, takes place 15 years before the events of “Dexter,” and follows the lead character (played by Gibson) “as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer.”
The series will debut on Paramount+ with Showtime in December.
According to the official synopsis, “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, 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.”
Christian Slater portrays Dexter’s father, Harry Morgan, and Molly Brown plays his sister, Debra.
Patrick Dempsey stars as Aaron Spencer, the Captain of the Miami Metro Homicide who has a longstanding relationship with Harry.
Sarah Michelle Gellar portrays Dexter’s boss at the station.
Additional new cast members include James Martinez, Christina Milian, Alex Shimizu, and Reno Wilson.
