Dexter Prequel: Meet the (New) Morgans in First Original Sin Photos
We have a feeling that the concerned look on Christian Slater’s face in the photo at the top of this post is only going to intensify when Dexter‘s prequel Original Sin gets underway.
On Friday, Paramount+ With Showtime released the first photos from the upcoming drama, which chronicles the adolescence of the serial-killer character played by Michael C. Hall in the original series. We’ll watch as circa 1991 Dexter is unable to control his “bloodthirsty urges,” per the official logline, and learns to “channel his inner darkness.”

Instrumental in that process is Dexter’s adoptive father, Harry, played by Christian Slater (Mr. Robot) in the prequel (and James Remar in the original). Dexter’s sister, Debra, portrayed by Jennifer Carpenter in the original, now will be played by Molly Brown (Billions). Patrick Gibson (Shadow and Bone) plays the titular role.
The photos released today give us a glimpse of the Morgan family, and the images also hint at Dexter’s burgeoning Dark Passenger.
The series’ cast also includes James Martinez (Love, Victor) as a younger version of Batista; Christina Milian (Grandfathered) as a younger version of LaGuerta; Alex Shimizu (The Blacklist) as a younger version of Masuka; and Reno Wilson (Good Girls) as Bobby Watt, a longtime partner and friend to Dexter Harry.
Original series showrunner Clyde Phillips returns as showrunner and executive producer.
Dexter originally aired from 2006 to 2013 on Showtime, earning four Emmy nominations for best drama series, with Hall garnering five nominations for best lead actor in a drama. After an eight-season run, the story continued with a limited series, Dexter: New Blood, that debuted in 2021.
