Molly Brown will play Dexter’s sister, Debra Morgan. These characters were played by Michael C. Hall, James Remar, and Jennifer Carpenter in the original series.

The Prequel Takes Place 15 Years Before The Original

‘Dexter: Original Sin’ takes place in 1991 and follows Dexter as he changes from a student to a serial killer. He learns to control his dark urges with the help of his father and follows a code to eliminate people who deserve it while avoiding law enforcement. Dexter also starts a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.

The original ‘Dexter’ series aired for eight seasons on Showtime from 2006 to 2013. It came back in 2021 with a sequel series called ‘Dexter: New Blood.’ A second season of ‘Dexter: New Blood’ is reportedly axed. The prequel and sequel series are part of Paramount’s strategy to build franchises around their popular shows.

Production on ‘Dexter: Original Sin’ is supervised by Gary Levine, Urooj Sharif, and Tara Power for Showtime Studios. The 10-episode prequel series was first announced in February 2023.
