CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Here’s a major reason for Dexter fans to cheer! Dexter Morgan may be long dead, as the sequel Dexter: New Blood ended with the character’s death. But now, the makers are back with a prequel to the series, titled Dexter: Original Sin.

Dexter: Original Sin intends to explore the formative years of Dexter Morgan. The upcoming prequel promise to offer a deeper understanding of the events and persons that formed him into the complex, and morally ambiguous serial killer that Dexter was.

The show is expected to focus on the teenage years of Dexter Morgan, and his relationship with his adoptive father Harry Morgan, who plays a major role in identifying his criminal tendencies and channeling them in a more (arguably) useful way.

Dexter: Original Sin is also expected to explore the psychological and moral struggles of Dexter as he comes to terms with his “Dark Passenger” and how he learns to control and channel his urges.

While the filming has started on June 5, Showtime and Paramount+ are yet to reveal when the show will aired.
