‘Dexter: Original Sin’: A Glimpse into the Past

In a significant development regarding the much-anticipated Dexter prequel series, ‘Dexter: Original Sin’, Showtime recently revealed an exciting new casting update. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the latest additions include Christina Milian, James Martinez, Alex Shimizu, and Reno Wilson. These renowned actors are set to bring the younger versions of well-known characters from the Dexter universe to life.

Character Details Revealed

Christina Milian is set to portray Miami Metro’s first female homicide detective Maria LaGuerta, a role previously enacted by Lauren Velez. James Martinez will step into the shoes of Angel Batista, an up-and-coming detective originally played by David Zayas. Alex Shimizu brings to life the witty character of forensic analyst Vince Masuka, a role that C.S. Lee made popular. Last but certainly not least, Reno Wilson will play Bobby Watt, a character referenced but never seen on the original series, who happens to be the long-term partner of Dexter’s adoptive father, Harry.

Our New and Familiar Faces

The newest members of the cast join previously announced actors Patrick Gibson, who will portray the young Dexter Morgan; Christian Slater, who will play Harry Morgan, Dexter’s father; and Molly Brown, who will depict the younger version of Dexter’s sister, Debra Morgan.

A Close Up on ‘Dexter: Original Sin’

Elaborating on the series premise, ‘Dexter: Original Sin’ is set in 1991 Miami, spotlighting Dexter’s transition from a student to a serial killer in the making. Under his father Harry’s guidance, Dexter navigates through his violent desires by adhering to a unique code – to kill only deserving individuals evading justice.

The extended Dexter franchise helmed by Clyde Phillips, who served as the showrunner during the first four seasons and Dexter: New Blood, has high expectations from the audience. It will be especially interesting to see how Dexter’s character, previously played by Michael C. Hall over nine seasons, adapts to the intern environment at Miami Metro Police Department.

Future of the Dexter Franchise

The first season of ‘Dexter: Original Sin’, expected to comprise 10 episodes, will be streamed on Paramount+ with Showtime. The popular ‘Dexter: New Blood’ is also slated to continue on Showtime, redirecting its focus on Dexter’s son, Harrison.

In addition to the current series, expansion plans for the Dexter franchise include potential spinoffs exploring the backstories of iconic characters like John Lithgow’s Trinity Killer.

The post-production and creative aspects of the show are uniquely poised with stalwarts including Scott Reynolds, Mary Leah Sutton, Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, and Michael C. Hall. Michael Lehmann, known for directing Slater in the cult classic film Heathers, will serve as the directing executive producer. The production is being supervised by Tara Power and creatively overseen by Gary Levine and Urooj Sharif for Showtime Studios.
