Dexter fans prepare to dive back into the dark and captivating world of the notorious serial killer. Dexter: Original Sin, the long-awaited prequel, arrives on Paramount+ on December 13, 2024. Starring Patrick Gibson as Dexter Morgan, this psychological thriller traces the character's early years as a young student in Miami. Surrounded by imposing figures such as his adoptive father Harry, played by Patrick Dempsey, and with Christian Slater in a still-mysterious role, the series promises to explore the genesis of the "Code" that will transform Dexter into a methodical, calculating killer.
In 1991, in Miami, Dexter is a young student struggling with murderous impulses that are becoming increasingly difficult to contain. Unable to ignore his bloodthirsty desires, he finds unexpected support in his adoptive father, Harry Morgan, a former policeman. The latter, aware of Dexter's tendencies, decides to teach him strict rules to channel his thirst for violence: only kill those who deserve it, and always make sure you don't get caught. But for Dexter, this is no easy task, especially as a rookie forensic trainee at the Miami Police Department, a place that would later become his favorite hunting ground.
This prequel is aimed above all at die-hard fans of the original series, curious to explore the origins of Dexter's "Code" and his first steps in the world of crime. Those who have enjoyed tales of young criminals in the making or psychological thrillers such as Hannibal or Bates Motel will also find something to their liking. Dexter: Original Sin takes an original angle by focusing on Dexter Morgan's youth, showing the beginnings of his journey as a serial killer, while maintaining palpable tension and moral dilemmas around personal justice.
With Patrick Gibson in the role of the young Dexter and a plot that promises to explore the psychological complexity of this iconic character, Dexter: Original Sin could well become a must-see for fans of thrillers and dark dramas. Offering a dive into Dexter's early years, this prequel should answer many questions about the construction of the methodical killer that viewers have come to know and fear. Join us on December 13 on Paramount+ to discover the beginnings of this cult character.
