The upcoming “Dexter” prequel series at Paramount+ with Showtime has begun production in Miami, with four new series regulars joining the show.
PvNew has learned that James Martinez, Christina Milian, Alex Shimizu, and Reno Wilson have all joined the 10-episode prequel, which is titled “Dexter: Original Sin.” They will star alongside previously announced leads Patrick Gibson, Christian Slater, and Molly Brown.
The show is set in 1991, 15 years before the events of “Dexter.” The official logline states that the new series “follows Dexter (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. With the guidance of his father, Harry (Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcements’ radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.” Brown will star as Debra Morgan, Dexter’s sister.
