23 hours ago

TV's most infamous serial killer Dexter Morgan is back on TV screens, with a brand new prequel series tracing his murderous roots.

Set 15 years before the original show kicked off, Dexter: Original Sin takes us back to Miami in the early '90s, at the point where Dexter transitions from a star student to an avenging mass murderer.

Irish star Patrick Gibson takes up the role previously made famous by Michael C Hall, with Hall returning as the show's narrator. Brat Pack star Christian Slater plays Dexter's adoptive police detective father Harry Morgan, with Molly Brown playing the serial killer's younger sister, Debra -- a role originally played by Jennifer Carpenter. The show also boasts Buffy alum Sarah Michelle Gellar and Grey's Anatomy's Patrick Dempsey in key roles.

The 10-episode series premieres on Friday, Dec. 13, with new episodes released every Friday from then on.
