Allen steps into the role of Dexter's biological mother, Laura Moser, while Gonzalez assumes the character of Santos Jimenez. Jennings plays Clark Sanders, Justice portrays Sofia, Lewis embodies Dexter's adoptive mom and Harry's wife, Doris Morgan, with Mendez as Hector Estrada.

A Peek into the Plot
The series traces young Dexter, back in 1991 Miami, evolving from a student to a serial killer in training. When his inner cravings become too strong to repress, he finds sympathy and understanding from Harry, his sole confidante. Harry educates Dexter on the Code, designed to guide him in finding and executing deserving targets while dodging law enforcement detection.
On another note, fans who followed the nine-season original series featuring Michael C. Hall will remember Dexter as a serial killer who restrains his compulsions to eliminate only the guilty. As a blood spatter analyst for Miami Metro, Dexter gathers clues and verifies DNA at crime scenes to confirm his potential victim's guilt before executing them.
