Showtime‘s Dexter returned to San Diego Comic-Con on Friday night with a very special guest in tow, Michael C. Hall.
It’s not a Dexter Con without Dexter, and this evening there were two in attendance: Hall and Patrick Gibson, the latter of who plays the younger version of the former’s character in the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin. Currently in production, Original Sin will also count on Hall’s participation as the narrator of the series, which he also executive produces.
The 10-episode original drama series is set in 1991 Miami and follows Dexter (Gibson), a student refining his killer skills with the help and support of his adoptive father Harry (Christian Slater). In his dad, he finds solace and understanding, especially as his bloodthirsty urges grow and can no longer be ignored. As his only confidant, Harry teaches Dexter a code that’s designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to die — all while avoiding getting caught by law enforcement. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.
Molly Brown, James Martinez, Christina Milian, Reno Wilson, Alex Shimizu, Patrick Dempsey and Sarah Michelle Geller also star. Most recently, Deadline confirmed the additions of Joe Pantoliano as Mad Dog, Brittany Allen as Dexter’s biological mother, Laura Moser, Isaac Gonzalez Rossi as Santos Jimenez, Aaron Jennings as Clark Sanders, Raquel Justice as Sofia, Jasper Lewis as Dexter’s adoptive mom and wife of Harry, Doris Morgan, Carlo Mendez as Hector Estrada, Isaac Gonzalez Rossi plays Gio and Roberto Sanchez plays Tony Ferrer.
Production is currently underway in Miami and Los Angeles with Clyde Phillips at the helm.
Here’s your first look at the show’s opening credits below:
Dexter returned with the limited series Dexter: New Blood in 2021 with Hall leading opposite his grown-up son Harrison, played by Jack Alcott. New Blood will return with a second season with the new title, Resurrection, with Hall starring.
Although unconfirmed, following the serial killer’s murder at the hands of his son in New Blood, Dexter would have to be present as his Dark Passenger—unless Dexter somehow survived which was considered by fans as a theory after watching the finale. Hello, Resurrection! However, as per my current rewatch of the OG series reminded me, Dexter likes to work alone so having Harrison as his killing partner a la Lumen and Miguel Prada is probably a no-go. This is his son though so… TBD.
Dexter premiered in the fall of 2006 and ran for eight seasons ending its run as the No.1 Showtime original. When Dexter: New Blood premiered in 2021, the limited series set 10 years following the conclusion of the original, became the network’s most-watched and most-streamed original ever.
