Filming is getting underway today in Miami on the newest addition to the Dexter franchise. Emmy nominee Clyde Phillips returns to the world of the serial killer who kills bad people as showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Scott Reynolds (Jessica Jones), Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Mary Leah Sutton (Resident Evil), Tony Hernandez (Emily in Paris), and Lilly Burns (Russian Doll). Heathers‘ Michael Lehmann is the directing executive producer. Dexter: Original Sin is produced by Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios.
“Set in 1991 Miami, Dexter: Original Sin follows Dexter (Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness,” reads Paramount+ with Showtime’s synopsis. “With the guidance of his father, Harry (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. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.”
