Krysten Ritter is also set to guest star.

Most recently, Dexter: Original Sin, a prequel series that follows Dexter (played by Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to serial killer, debuted last year and became the most streamed global original series for SHOWTIME® in ten years. The season finale aired in February and scored 2.68 million global viewers, marking it the most streamed episode of the season. The series is available to watch now on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME delivered over 15 million owned engagements across social during its season run.
