The series is set in 1991 Miami and \"follows Dexter as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer,\" according to an official synopsis.

\"When his bloodthirsty urges can't be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of 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 law enforcement's radar,\" it continues. \"This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.\"

Aside from Gibson and Slater, the series also stars Molly Brown, Christina Milian, James Martinez, Alex Shimizu, Reno Wilson and more, with special guest stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and Patrick Dempsey.

\"Dexter: Original Sin\" premieres Friday, Dec. 13, for subscribers of the Paramount+ with Showtime plan. The series makes its on-air debut in the U.S. on Sunday, Dec. 15, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
