According to Comicbook, Dexter: Original Sin brings Dexter Morgan, played by Michael C. Hall (Kill Your Darlings, Gamer), back from the dead after the end of New Blood, a mini-series exploring his more “definitive” ending. Dexter ended in 2013 and has released three different spin-off series: Dexter: New Blood, Dexter: Original Sin and Dexter: Resurrection. The mini-series ended with Dexter being shot and killed by his own son, Harrison Morgan.

New Blood expands on the idea that the butcher realizes he does more harm than good by ruining his loved ones’ lives, according to Comicbook. He was also outed as a serial killer and allowed his son to kill him because it was better than spending time in jail or receiving the death penalty.

Original Sin is a prequel series, and the first episode debuted on Paramount+ on the night of December 13. The episode is where the resurrection was revealed to the audience.It begins by showing Angela, Dexter’s police ex-girlfriend, in a panic as she rushes to the emergency room with his unconscious body. In an attempt to attend to his wound, many doctors realize he doesn’t have a pulse. They try to help bring him back to life by using a defibrillator. After multiple tries, his pulse is back, even though he is unconscious and in a temporary coma. The goal of the show is to show the characters’ early years. Comicbook states it has been a pretty successful way of portraying it. The goal of the show is to show the characters’ early years. Comicbook states it has been a pretty successful way of portraying it.

Via Comicbook, Dexter Morgan is scheduled to return in Resurrection. But that won’t be out until June 2025. Either Resurrection or Original Sin will expand on how he is in a coma. The coldness of Iron Lake slowed Dexter’s blood loss, allowing him to have more of a chance at being alive.

The show was very monumental in the early 2000s and late 2010s and has recently been enjoyed by Gen  Z. Netflix added Dexter over the summer, which captured the young audience, as noted by Comicbook.
