    “Dexter” Prequel Series Ordered, Other Spinoffs Possible

    The highly-anticipated “Dexter” spinoff has finally been given the green light by SHOWTIME, which is now part of Paramount+. Titled “Dexter: Origins,” the prequel will delve into the early years of the notorious serial killer as he transforms from a young man in his early 20s into the ruthless killer that fans know from the original show. The series will be set in Miami, a city plagued by serial killers, more than likely during the 1980s.

    As Dexter begins his career at Miami Metro, viewers will be introduced to younger versions of familiar characters from the original show. This will include a teenage Deb and a living Harry, two characters who played significant roles in Dexter’s life. The series will focus not only on Dexter’s career, but also his family and personal relationships, as viewers get a glimpse into the events that shaped him into the killer he becomes. It is likely star Michael C. Hall will NOT be involved.

    In addition to “Origins,” SHOWTIME has confirmed it is exploring other projects based on characters from the same universe. This includes a show centered on a young Trinity Killer, a character originally played by John Lithgow. The cabler is determined to expand the “Dexter” universe, and give fans more of the characters and stories they’ve come to love.

    Longtime “Dexter” showrunner Clyde Phillips will be at the helm of “Origins,” ensuring that the legacy of the original show is maintained. “I couldn’t be more excited about exploring and expanding the universe of Dexter,” Phillips said. “It’s a privilege to contemplate going even deeper with these complex and iconic characters—and the stories, themes, and possibilities they inspire.”

    The prequel has been a long time in the making, with fans eagerly anticipating its arrival. Season 2 of “Dexter: New Blood” (which was centered on Dexter’s son Harrison) was axed, fans can look forward to the arrival of “Origins.” We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.
