Dexter Morgan is returning to screens (once again) in Paramount+’s new prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin. So, if you’re squeamish, probably best to look away.
After the original Dexter series made waves across eight seasons of bloodthirsty killing, Michael C. Hall is coming back to the titular role (in voiceover form) for a third time with Dexter: Original Sin. However, this new TV show is putting a period spin on this tale of serial killers.
Taking place in 1991, Original Sin follows Dexter in his infamous transition from innocent student to top-tier killer. With the help of his father, he develops what would become known as his modus operandi: to only kill those who deserve it.
The Dexter prequel series is out sooner than you think, so be sure to take note of when new episodes drop.
When is Dexter: Original Sin Episode 1 out?
Dexter: Original Sin Episode 1 premieres on Friday, December 13 on Paramount+ with Showtime.
It’ll then get a televised premiere on Showtime on Sunday, December 15 at 10pm.
New episodes will then drop on a weekly basis until the season finale on February 14.
How many episodes are there?
