Presumably realizing that there’s no escape, at this point, from the basic accusation that it’s trying to apply the Young Sheldon formula to TV’s favorite serial killer, a new teaser for upcoming prequel show Dexter: Original Sin has now confirmed that original star Michael C. Hall will be back for the show, playing “the inner voice of Dexter Morgan,” whose outer voice (and body, and eyes, and stuff) will now be played by Patrick Gibson.
The trailer deploys a new version of Dexter‘s iconic “morning routine” title sequence, albeit one that suggests this’ll be more of an ensemble show, working Christian Slater’s Harry and Molly Brown’s Deb into all those very loud close-ups of flesh being cut, plastic being torn, and blood being dripped. The trailer ends with Hall’s voice saying “Hello, Dexter Morgan” to his past self, suggesting that we’ll get plenty of Jim Parsons-style Wonder Year-ing about the character’s various antics as he finds his way from graduation to a job analyzing crime scenes (that he’s only sometimes directly responsible for causing).
