The teaser trailer for Dexter: Original Sin marks the return of one of TV’s most iconic antiheroes, Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), in a fresh and darker chapter of his twisted journey. Following the dramatic events of Dexter: New Blood, the new series explores themes of legacy, morality, and the eternal struggle between nature and nurture.
The trailer opens with haunting shots of the Pacific Northwest, where the snow-covered forests and gray skies set an ominous tone. Dexter’s voiceover begins: “Sins have a way of following you. No matter how far you run or how much blood you spill, they always find you.”
The scene cuts to Harrison Morgan (Jack Alcott), now older and grappling with the darkness he inherited from his father. He’s shown in therapy sessions, training in boxing gyms, and staring at old photos of Dexter, his conflicted emotions evident. Harrison’s voice echoes, “I’m not like him. I’m not.” But flashes of violent altercations and Harrison’s blood-stained hands suggest otherwise.
Interwoven with Harrison’s struggles, the trailer teases Dexter’s presence—not alive, but as a ghostly figure or voice in Harrison’s mind, guiding or taunting him. “You can’t escape who you are, son,” Dexter says as Harrison stares into a mirror, his reflection briefly flickering to show Dexter’s face.
