Check out new looks at Patrick Dempsey's Capt. Aaron Spencer and Sarah Michelle Gellar's CSI Chief Tanya Martin from Dexter: Original Sin.

Earlier this week, fans of the "Dexter" universe were treated to some excellent news regarding Paramount+ with Showtime and Showrunner/EP Clyde Phillips' (Dexter, Nurse Jackie) Patrick Gibson-starring Dexter: Original Sin. Along with an official teaser (which you can check out above), they also learned that the 10-episode prequel series would premiere on Friday, December 13th, on streaming and on-demand for Paramount+ subscribers with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan. Following that, the series will make its debut on Sunday, December 15 (international viewers with access to Paramount+ can start checking it out on December 13th). Now, we're getting a look at two very familiar names and the important roles they play in helping raise the (in)famous serial killer with a… conscience? First up, we have a look at Patrick Dempsey's Miami Metro Homicide Capt. Aaron Spencer; following that, we get a look at Sarah Michelle Gellar's Miami Metro CSI Chief Tanya Martin – otherwise known as Dexter's (Phillips) boss.

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.
