“Dexter” fans got an exciting surprise at the Comic-Con panel for the prequel series, “Unique Sin.” Not only is original star Michael C. Hall set to headline the prequel series, but he’ll be back on screen in a new sequel, “Dexter: Resurrection.”
“We are thrilled to have the legendary Michael C. Corridor reprise his iconic role as Dexter Morgan in Showtime’s highest-grossing series of all time,” said Chris McCarthy, Paramount Worldwide Co-CEO, of the new series. “While ‘Dexter: Resurrection’ will appeal to tens of thousands of longtime fans, ‘Dexter: Unique Sin’ will introduce a new generation of viewers to this iconic series, starting from the beginning, which will certainly appeal to current audiences as well.”
The original “Dexter” aired on Showtime from 2006 to 2013, followed by 2021’s “Dexter: New Blood,” which picked up 10 years after the original finale. “Resurrection” will likely be a sequel to “New Blood,” set in the present day. It could premiere in the summer of 2025. Additionally, previous seasons of each show can be found for Paramount+ subscribers with the Paramount+ with Showtime plan.
The unique show has been climbing the Neilsen charts for the past two months; for the week of June 24, it peaked at No. 2 on the Top 10 chart (behind Showtime’s “Your Honor”), clocking in at 1.48 billion minutes of viewing across all platforms and beating out top shows “The Bear,” “The Boys” and “Bridgerton.”
Corridor appeared on the “Dexter: Unique Sin” panel in San Diego on Friday, joining showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, executive producer Scott Reynolds and cast members Christian Slater, Patrick Gibson and Molly Brown. Guest star Sarah Michelle Gellar served as moderator.
The 10-episode prequel is set in 1991, 15 years before the events of “Dexter,” following the titular character (Gibson) “as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer.” It will premiere on Paramount+ With Showtime in December.
According to the official synopsis, “When his bloodthirsty urges can no longer be ignored, Dexter must study to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry, he adopts a Code designed to help him discover and kill individuals who need to be eradicated from society without coming under the radar of the police. It’s a clear problem for young Dexter as he begins a forensic internship with the Miami Metro Police Division.”
Slater plays Dexter’s father, Harry Morgan, and Brown plays his sister Debra. Patrick Dempsey also stars in the series as Aaron Spencer, the Miami Metro Murder Captain who has a long-standing relationship with Harry. Gellar plays Dexter’s boss at the station. Other new cast members include James Martinez, Christina Milian, Alex Shimizu, and Reno Wilson.
