The relationship between brothers Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) is one of the fundamental pillars of “Dexter”. However, in the derivative “Dexter: Original Sin “, this dynamic between them is portrayed differently than shown in the original series.
In the prelude, which premiered on Friday (13) on Paramount+, Dexter is played by Patrick Gibson, and Debra is played by Molly Brown (“Billions”), who spoke with CNN about this change. “I think one of the biggest differences is that, in the original series, we see Dexter as a good older brother,” she said.
“In this version, he definitely isn’t,” he continued. “He is strange, clumsy and difficult to deal with besides just being a 20-year-old.”
Brown also revealed her favorite part about playing the character in the spin-off. “She doesn’t know anything about what Dexter does, so she’s not afraid of him, unlike everyone who knows his secrets,” he said.
Set in Miami in 1991, the plot of “Dexter: Original Sin” follows Dexter in his transition from student to serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can no longer be ignored, he must learn to channel his inner darkness, according to the synopsis..
With guidance from his father, Harry, he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on the authorities’ radar. To make matters more complicated, Dexter must balance his extralegal affairs with a new forensic internship at the Miami Metropolitan Police Department.
The production stars Patrick Gibson (“The OA”). Names like Christian Slater (“Death Attraction”), Christina Milian (“Amor da Aluguel”) and more make up the cast. Michael C. Hall who played Dexter in the original series, which aired from 2006 to 2013, returns as Dexter’s inner voice.
Patrick Dempsey (“Grey’s Anatomy”) and Sarah Michelle Gellar (“Buffy – The Vampire Slayer” are also in the cast.
