American actor Michael C. Hall is set to reprise his iconic role as Dexter Morgan in two new series from the beloved franchise, further igniting the excitement among fans. The first, titled 'Dexter: Resurrection,' will premiere in summer 2025, while the second, 'Dexter: Original Sin,' is a prequel scheduled for December 2024. The announcement was made during the recent San Diego Comic-Con, where Hall's involvement was confirmed by producer Clyde Philipps and Paramount Global's co-CEO Chris McCarthy.
'Dexter: Resurrection' will explore the narrative following Dexter's supposed death in the previous series, 'Dexter: New Blood,' prompting curiosity about how the character returns. Meanwhile, 'Dexter: Original Sin' takes viewers back to 1991, introducing a young Dexter, played by Irish actor Patrick Gibson, as he embarks on a forensic internship at the Miami Metro Police Department. This dual series venture aims to satisfy long-time fans while attracting a new generation to the franchise.
- The original 'Dexter' series, which aired from 2006 to 2013, captivated audiences with its unique premise of a forensic expert leading a double life as a vigilante serial killer. Its successful run led to a revival in 2021 with 'Dexter: New Blood,' which reignited interest in the character and storyline. The upcoming projects promise to delve deeper into the intricate world of Dexter Morgan, blending nostalgia with fresh narratives. In addition to Hall, the cast for 'Dexter: Original Sin' includes notable actors such as Christian Slater, who will portray Dexter's father, Harry Morgan, and Molly Brown as his sister, Debra. This expansion of the Dexter universe not only aims to explore the origins of the character but also to maintain the thrilling elements that fans have come to love.
