Dexter: Original Sin teaser gives first look at The Tudors star channelling Michael C Hall
Patrick Gibson stars as the serial killer in a show exploring his early years.
Michael C Hall's infamous serial killer Dexter is back - but not as we know him.
A new trailer and image have been released for Dexter: Original Sin, a prequel series set in 1991 Miami which sees a young Dexter played by The Tudors and Shadow and Bone star Patrick Gibson.
The series, which will be released on Paramount Plus on 13th December, will see Dexter transitioning from student to avenging serial killer, and learning to channel his inner darkness and bloodthirsty urges.
With the guidance of his father Harry, who was played by James Remar in the original series but is played here by Mr Robot's Christian Slater, he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement's radar.

Hall will also be returning for Dexter: Resurrection, which will follow up with the titular character in the present day.
Hall said of returning to his iconic role in both Dexter: Original Sin and Resurrection: "It's pretty heady. I'm having flashbacks of the first time I came to Comic-Con. We were in this hall. That was… 75 years ago? It's amazing to still be alive.
"I cannot wait to watch this show. To a certain degree, I have a sense of what is coming. I've spent so much time with this character, and to go back to have those sort of imaginative blanks filled in this technicolour show... It's amazing."
