A Dexter prequel series–Dexter: Original Sin–in the works, and now three of its leads have been announced, including the actor who will play a young Dexter Morgan.
Variety reports that 29-year-old Irish actor Patrick Gibson (The OA, Shadow and Bone) will play a young Dexter, with Christian Slater (Mr. Robot) playing his adoptive father, Harry. Molly Brown (Senior Year), meanwhile, will play Dexter’s sister, Debra. On the original show, these roles were played by Michael C. Hall, James Remar, and Jennifer Carpenter, respectively.
The prequel series, which has 10 episodes, is set in 1991, which is 15 years before the events of the original Dexter series. The show will follow young Dexter as he transitions in his life from student to “avenging serial killer.”
