The Dexter The universe is getting bigger every second. Dexter: Original Sin currently tells the origins of the young serial killer, but another prequel series could soon follow. Deadline reports that a prequel series centered around the Trinity Killer (played by John Lithgow in the original series) is still “in development” at Paramount+.

The Trinity Killer prequel series will reportedly be ready in early 2023, but it’s been a long time since we’ve heard anything about it. Dexter Showrunner Clyde Phillips and Dexter Writer/producer Scott Reynolds will serve as co-creator and executive producer of the Trinity Killer prequel series. Phillips even revealed that John Lithgow has agreed to return and provide the inner voice of his younger self, much in the same way that Michael C. Hall does Dexter: Original Sin.

“We wrote the entire Trinity Killer series. At the moment it’s on hold,Phillips said. “John Lithgow has agreed to be the voice of his younger self, just as Michael Hall did for (original sin). There’s that and we’re doing another show with Michael C. Hall, (resurrection)… We wrote this while filming original sinso there’s quite a lot going on. We start shooting (resurrection) in January and will air in June 2025.“

It doesn’t sound like the Trinity Killer prequel is a big priority right now, but if it is Dexter: Original Sin And Dexter: Resurrection If we can keep the franchise’s momentum going, we’ll probably see it on our screens. John Lithgow appeared in the fourth season of the original Dexter series and is considered one of the best villains in the series. He also had a very brief appearance in the revival series Dexter: New Blood.

The official summary for Dexter: Original Sin reads: “Dexter: Original Sin is set in Miami in 1991 and follows Dexter (Gibson) on his journey from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can no longer be ignored, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. Under the guidance of his father Harry (Christian Slater), he adopts a code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be excluded from society, without becoming a target for law enforcement. This presents a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensic internship with the Miami Metro Police Department.The series also stars Patrick Dempsey, Molly Brown, James Martinez, Christina Milian, Alex Shimizu and Reno Wilson, with Sarah Michelle Gellar appearing as a special guest star.
