Dexter: Original Sin Key Art Poster Honors Both Its Past & Future

Paramount+ with Showtime's Patrick Gibson-starring Dexter: Original Sin honors the franchise's past and Dexter Morgan's future in one poster.

In nine days, Paramount+ with Showtime and Showrunner/EP Clyde Phillips (Dexter, Nurse Jackie) takes us back to show us how it all began (and possibly teases what the future might hold). Of course, we're talking about Patrick Gibson-starring Dexter: Original Sin (streaming Dec. 13; airing Dec. 15th), the prequel series that floored us with the opening to its official trailer and hasn't let us since. Now, we're getting a look at Young Dexter Morgan (Gibson) in a new key art poster that's also a wonderful homage to one of the most popular pieces of key art to come out of the original series. Here's a look at the "Original Sin" poster – followed by a side-by-side comparison:
