The show will take place 15 years before the events of the original series. Patrick Gibson portrays the younger version of Dexter Morgan while Michael C. Hall lends his voice to the character’s inner monologue.

The show will run for 10 episodes and will be available to stream on Paramount+ from December 13.

Accoding to an official synopsis (via Variety), the series takes place in Miami in 1991 and “follows Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness.”

It continues: “With the guidance of his father, Harry (Christian Slater), 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.”

Along with Slater, the prequel series also stars Patrick Dempsey, Molly Brown, James Martinez, Christina Milian, Alex Shimizu, Reno Wilson and special guest star Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Clyde Phillips, the original showrunner and executive producer on Dexter, also returns to helm the new series.

It comes after Hall recently announced that he will feature in the new series and as Morgan in Dexter: Resurrection, a sequel series that follows 2021’s first sequel series Dexter: New Blood.

Details surrounding Resurrection are currently under wraps, but is expected to premiere sometime in 2025.

Michael C. Hall famously starred in the hit Showtime series between 2006 and 2013 for eight seasons. In 2021, the show was revived in the form of a sequel series, New Blood, that took place a decade after the original series’ conclusion.
