Its last episode aired in February of this year. It starred Patrick Gibson as the younger version of America\u2019s most lovable serial killer. Although he wasn\u2019t on screen, Michael C. Hall provided the young Dexter\u2019s inner monologue. The cast of <em>Original Sin<\/em> also included Molly Brown, Christina Milian, Christian Slater, James Martinez, Alex Shimizu, Reno Wilson, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nerdist.com\/article\/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-reboot-casts-ryan-kiera-armstrong\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sarah Michelle Gellar;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Sarah Michelle Gellar<\/a>, and Patrick Dempsey.

Hall\u2019s commitment to the <em>Dexter<\/em> franchise was somewhat in doubt. After all, the character of Dexter Morgan seemed pretty dead at the end of the revival mini-series, <em>Dexter: New Blood<\/em>. But with Hall fully onboard as the Bay Harbor Butcher again, and the show well received by the fanbase? It looks like Showtime realized what Disney is realizing now with their Marvel and <em>Star Wars<\/em> IP; sometimes, you <em>can<\/em> have too much of a good thing. <em>Original Sin <\/em>may be over, but it seems <em>Dexter<\/em> as a franchise will never die.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite decent ratings and an early season 2 renewal, it looks like the Dexter prequel series Dexter: Original Sin won\u2019t be getting another season after all.
