How to watch Dexter: Original Sin in the UK
The Dexter prequel series is coming to screens.
Dexter fans are set to get another bloody instalment in the form of brand new prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin.
Ahead of the release of the show, fans have been treated to a teaser which shows what's to come for the young Dexter, who is played by Shadow & Bone star Patrick Gibson.
It's safe to say that Dexter fans have been patiently waiting for a brand new piece of the hit drama since the release of limited series revival Dexter: New Blood in 2021.
Speaking about what's to come from Original Sin with him in the lead, Gibson told The Hollywood Reporter: "I’m not sure if I’m fully prepared for this because I don’t know what’s to come, but I know that once it’s out in the world, it doesn’t really have anything to do with me anymore.
“I’m hoping I can bring some of myself to this character while also honoring what he did.”
The series, which is set in 1991, follows Dexter as he goes from student to serial killer, with original star Michael C Hall returning to voice the iconic inner monologue that's dotted throughout the series.
But that's not the end of the starry cast additions as Christian Slater (Mr Robot) stars as Dexter's father Harry, Christina Milian (Meet Me Next Christmas) is Maria LaGuerta, Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy) is Captain Aaron Spencer and Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar is set to play Dexter's boss Tanya Martin.
