- Story Text: The old and the new collided at the premiere for “Dexter: Original Sin”, in New York on Wednesday (December 11).
The new series is the prequel to the hit show that ran from 2006 to 2013. A limited 10 episode series ran November 7, 2021 to January 9, 2022.
The show’s star and executive producer Michael C. Hall posed for pictures with Irish actor Patrick Gibson, who is playing the young version of his character.
Gibson was modest when asked about being the star of the show.
“You're there for a lot longer than other people, so you want to make sure that you're more prepared than you have been before. And yeah, that was, that was the only thing. But other than that, it was like, I mean, I was working with some of the most incredible actors, so it doesn't always feel like you're in number one. I was like, Christia, Slater's here, come on.”
Set in Miami in 1991, the drama series chronicles the early years of the fictional serial killer and spotlights the transformation of Dexter from an ordinary student to a meticulous avenger of the guilty.
Viewers will see Dexter grapple with overpowering, bloodthirsty urges that he struggles to suppress. Guided by his father, portrayed by Slater, he adopts a unique Code. This Code is devised to help him identify and eliminate individuals deemed deserving of a violent end, all while staying off the radar of the law enforcement.
The show will premiere on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME on Friday (December 13), and airs on SHOWTIME on Sunday (December 15). New episodes will be released weekly.
