Dexter: New "Original Sin" Trailer; E02: "Kid in a Candy Store" Images

Check out a new trailer for Paramount+ with Showtime's Dexter: Original Sin, and images and an overview for S01E02: "Kid in a Candy Store."

Though we know that the first episode is currently streaming, we're going to hold back on spoilers for the opener to Paramount+ with Showtime and Showrunner/EP Clyde Phillips's (Dexter, Nurse Jackie) Patrick Gibson-starring Dexter: Original Sin. That being said, we need to credit the show in two very big ways. First, how it was able to recapture the look and vibe of the original series naturally, without looking like it's trying too hard or force-feeding "easter eggs." Second, the dual prequel timelines were something we didn't see coming, adding even more much-needed context to what we thought we already knew. With that in mind, we have a look at the overview and image gallery for the next chapter, S01E02: "Kid in a Candy Store," along with a new season trailer teasing what's still to come. Could we be getting more peeks at the here-and-now Dexter, too? Hmmm…

Dexter: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 2: "Kid in a Candy Store" – Dexter (Patrick Gibson) adjusts to his new job as a forensics intern at Miami Metro; Deb (Molly Brown) lashes out at her dad by engaging in petty criminal behavior. Written by Katrina Mathewson and Tanner Bean.

Set in 1991, Miami, Dexter: Original Sin follows Dexter (Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can't be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry (Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement's radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.
