Showtime has revealed the opening credits sequence for the upcoming Dexter prequel series Dexter: Original Sin.
The series is set in Miami in 1991 and follows Dexter (Patrick Gibson), “a student who hones his killer skills with the help and support of his adoptive father Harry (Christian Slater).
“In his father, he finds comfort and understanding, especially when his bloodthirsty urges grow and can no longer be ignored. As his only confidant, Harry teaches Dexter a code that is designed to help him find and kill the people who deserve to die, all while avoiding capture by law enforcement.
“This is a particular challenge for young Dexter, who is starting a forensic internship with the Miami Metropolitan Police Department.”
Michael C. Hall he is a producer of the series and is also the narrator of the series. He showed up at Comic-Con to talk about the series and said:
“It’s pretty intoxicating. I have flashbacks to the first time I came to Comic-Con. We were in this room. It was… 75 years ago? It’s amazing to still be alive. I can’t wait to watch this show.
“In a way, I have an idea of what’s coming. I’ve spent so much time with this character and to go back and fill in those imaginary gaps in this technicolor spectacle… It’s incredible.”
The Comic-Con panel was moderated by Sarah Michelle Geller, who also stars in the prequel series. Joining her on stage were Slater, Gibson, and executive producer Dr. Scott Reynolds and showrunner Clyde Phillips.
Phillips spoke about the prequel, saying, “Expect what you’ve seen before, only better. Seeing these characters as young people is just incredible, and the storytelling, I promise you, is going to be surprising, astonishing and satisfying.”
Reynolds added: “It’s an open path. To be able to tell a story about a kid who thinks he’s worthless and a father who says he’s worthless is a beautiful thing.”
It was also announced that a sequel series to Dexter: New Blood titled Dexter: Resurrection, which will feature Hall reprising his role as the titular killer, is in development; production is set to begin in January.
