The second spin-off of crime thriller series Dexter is about to land, and it's a prequel series. Dexter: Original Sin shows us the youth of the titular killer Dexter Morgan.
In Dexter: Original Sin, we'll meet a young Dexter played by Patrick Gibson, as he's taught by his father Harry Morgan (Christian Slater) how to get away with killing. He also goes through a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department and has to develop his skills at balancing these personas.
Fans of Dexter will know the story already but it's still worth watching for people who've already seen the entire original series and New Blood.
But how do you do that? Here's how to watch Dexter: Original Sin, which has streaming and TV options.
