If you’ve ever wanted to know the villain-era origin story of one of TV’s most notorious anti-heroes, you’re in for a treat. Over a decade after the series’ bloody finale, the story of Dexter Morgan is back for a new prequel series – Dexter: Original Sin.
Delving deep into Dexter’s early days as a forensic technician, the series will take us back 15 years before the events of the original series and will finally answer the age-old question of how a man working in law enforcement became a vigilante serial killer.
While the sequel series Dexter: New Blood gave viewers a brief glimpse into Dexter’s life after the controversial Season 8 finale, fans still have more questions about how exactly Dexter began his life of undercover crime.

Joining forces with his adopted father Harry, the duo kickstart Dexter’s life of crime, working together to find a way to track down and execute unprosecuted criminals without getting caught.
