Screen Rant reported live from the “Dexter: Original Sin” panel that showrunner Clyde Phillips confirmed a December release for the upcomingDexterprequel series. Michael C. Hall made a surprise appearance on the panel which alsoannounced the release of a newDextersequel series titledDexter: Resurrection.

Michael C. Hall Returning To Narrate Dexter: Original Sin Maintains Dexter’s Dark Passenger Voice
It instantly adds canon authenticity to the series full of fresh faces
Before the announcement of San Diego Comic-Con, Michael C. Hall was believed to only be involved in Dexter: Original Sin as an executive producer. Having him reprise his role as Dexter via a voiceover Dark Passenger changes everything and certainly will please fans of the original series andDexter: New Bloodwho were skeptical about having a Dexter series without Michael C. Hall’s iconic presence.Hall’s Dark Passenger also adds a tragic notion that Dexter has been doomed with this his entire lifeand will instantly connect him to and legitimize Gibson’s rendition.
Hall’s voiceover will do much to create a sense of canon authenticity to the prequel series that it arguably needed despite its numerous returning characters with fresh faces. What’s more, and is purely speculation,Hall could possibly appear as a future iteration of adult Dexter and speak to Patrick Gibson’s Dexter in-scene, similar to how James Remar’s Harry Morgan, who will be portrayed by Christian Slater inOriginal Sin, spoke to Hall’s Dexter even though he was just a figment of his imagination.

Michael C. Hall’s Dexter Prequel Return Makes His Ending Far More Tragic
It will be interesting to see whether Dexter’s V.O. will have a cautionary tone
Hall returning to narrate his younger story adds so much depth to Original Sin before it even begins. It will be interesting to discover whether Dexter will take on a reflective cautionary tone like a ghost from the future, in a sense, or if he will speak more directly to the audience, as he did in the original series, rather than talking directly to the younger iteration of himself. It may almost be like he’s narrating his own memories of his younger years to the audience, making everything that happens to him inDexter: Original Sinand beyond inevitable and even more tragic.
